Also. This should make for an interesting vlog! Wondering what he is complaining about. He talks about going to CPT a lot and if he is, he is in the wrong terminal...

Very interesting and talented guy indeed! I suspect he's flying through JNB.
Some of his earlier videos feature him flying BA to South Africa (his wife is from CPT originally, and they got married there). Very frequent AA flyer too.

I wonder if this answers the question about whether AA CK can access the CCR or he is really in F? Last trip to CPT with the baby was in CW IIRC.

I have seen him twice on LAX-JFK, once when I was in F and he walked past me on the way to J and once when I did the same to him! I didn't have the cojones to say 'Hi', sadly.
I really enjoy his videos and in fact I am pretty sure that he is an FTer.....he has rather a good video explaining the AA FF program (pre-enhancement, of course)...

I wonder if he is on BA 55? Long delay, maybe another reason for the angry tweet

I had to look this Neistat guy up. I am obviously a very legacy millennial to not know him but that distinct mug is most definitely unforgettable now.

Meant to say I bumped into Liverpool legend Phil Thompson going through T5 North Security Fast Track on March 5th.

I suspect he is there fairly frequently after his Sky Sports Soccer Special appearances on a Saturday

Same here. To be honest I'm still not exactly sure what he's famous for?

This video is a good start to see the style:

He's clearly a talented video maker, and no doubt makes a good living from it, but I think 'celebrity' is somewhat of an undue epithet.

One of my friends did much of the principal cinematography on the new Star Wars film, it doesn't mean he's a celebrity.

I'm no fan of the man, but:

- Celebrity is entirely relative.
- He has 2.4 million YouTube subscribers, and 420,000 Twitter followers (combined, that's little under double the daily circulation of, for example, the paper edition New York Times).

Yes, I like his videos and I like what I have seen of the man but I am under no illusion that what I think about who or who isn't a celebrity matters! I have long campaigned that we should convene a committee of the thread to assess all submissions before they are posted to ascertain their celebrity value.

I therefore humbly submit articles about him from:
1. The Wall Street Journal
2. The Independent

I think armouredant says it best:
