    I feel like CGP Grey is on the brink of starting his own airport
  • @Fabben1
    Finnair had a long standing gag of operating flight 666 to HEL (Helsinki) and even taking off on Friday the 13ths.
  • @Halio70
    I feel like with every CGP video we get, we see him descend further into madness. I blame Tiffany.
  • @worstedwoolens
    I love how stick figure Grey has evolved from a classroom teacher into a complete menace to polite society.
  • @bryanekers3472
    As a life-long Montrealer, I'm pleased that Grey took the time to put a number of recognizable Montreal landmarks in the IATA office windows.
  • @givelbs
    this has probably been said before in a more elegant fashion, but Grey's sentence structure is just amazing. Almost every sentence is alliterative and rhyming... it all flows beautifully.
  • @amateraceon5202
    I know Grey has said he picks his videos well in advance and spends a lot of time researching, but part of me likes to think he just had a REALLY bad airport experience that led to the boarding video, the runway video, AND this video all at once
  • @notawesomebread
    I need a 2 hour CGP video where all of the side notes and exceptions are thoroughly explained

    “All are coded so companies can communicate clearly and concisely complicated connections to carry their customers, and their bags.” -CGP Grey, 2022
  • @loupgarou95
    My favorite airport code is MCO, the code for the Orlando, FL International Airport. Legend says it stands for Mickey's Corporate Office. It doesn't, but the idea is quite fun.
  • @kalamari3288
    I love the idea of Grey just diverting flights and lecturing to random people on planes.
  • @rickwemd6618
    I really love the fact that Grey continues to accidentally roast Social-Security Number in both airport-themed videos
  • @oculicious
    my dream is to be trapped next to cgp on a plane as he rambles obsessively about whatever rabbithole he has dug himself into at the time.
  • As a new Ham Radio operator, I can tell you that Morse Code is alive and well.
  • I always love the little hints of madness that leak through whenever CGP tell us about something that really should be simple, but isn’t
  • Gotta love CGP Grey's unwaivering commitment. You have that content creators open a video epicly with "This video, spent 3 months in the making" and everyone is like "thank you for your hard work!!!" and then you have Grey just casually throwing in, without warning or a care in the world, "this single fact that's a 30th of the video took 8 months to nail down" and everyone's like "damn, cool".
  • @seanjones7854
    Toronto International Airport's IATA code gave birth to the song YYZ by Rush. The main riff is YYZ in Morse code. Also one of the most dangerous airports in the world, Toncontin International in Honduras, has the rather appropriate IATA code TNT
  • @vmkunnari
    There used to be Finnair flight AY666 from Copenhagen to Helsinki HEL until 2017. And yes, Helsinki is taking everything out of their IATA-code HEL.
