Creator's Key Takeaways
I've been flying for seven years and love every minute of it. It was worth every second.
The best thing I think actually now I think about it was at my previous company when I was at London City when you do the easterly approach onto 09.
The one thing I think they people really shouldn't do is stand up before the seat belt sign goes off.
I think we're quite fortunate that up the front it's not as bad. Down the back tends to be slightly more bumpy.

In this episode of Sail Away: Uncensored, we sit down with commercial airline pilot Josh Draper to talk about what life is really like behind the controls of a commercial jet. From the pressures of flying to the perks of travelling the world, Josh shares his insider perspective on aviation — and how he balances it all with his love of theme parks and cruise ships. Josh isn’t just a pilot — he’s also the face behind Coast to Coasters, a fast-growing YouTube channel packed with cruise reviews, theme park vlogs, and travel adventures from around the world. We chat about the realities of life at 35,000 feet, the myths passengers still believe, and how he and his cabin crew wife make the most of their time off with epic holidays at sea and on land. #aviation #pilot #airline #sailawaymagazine Subscribe to Sail Away Magazine for just £3.95 every two months: https://sailawaymagazine.com/cruise-magazine/ YouTube: @sailawaymag Instagram: @sailawaymag Facebook: @sailawaymagazine TikTok: @sailawaymag Twitter: @sailawaymag Website: https://sailawaymagazine.com/ Contact us: info@sailawaymagazine.com Balmoral Full Ship Tour Music Playlist: https://www.epidemicsound.com/playlist/8lswgqney5oaxee5qc8fchv3vt74zvy0/ Music Source: Epidemic Sound - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ✔✔ You Can Check Out Our Other Videos Here : 👀 NAVIGATOR OF THE SEAS Full Cruise Ship Tour Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNAgf_5w-Fg 👀 The INCREDIBLE History of Fred Olsen's Borealis with Dr.Payne Link: https://youtu.be/7H15bdYLvp0?si=-D5PhgOWw92v9pwO 👀 Fred.
