ROYAL AIR INAUGURAL FLIGHT Clark to Puerto Princesa + Top Things to do in Puerto!

Onboard Royal Air’s inaugural flight from Clark to Puerto Princesa Airport in Palawan! I also list my favorite destinations in Puerto Princesa, including its two world-famous UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Royal Air was formerly a charter airline that’s now looking to compete with the big local legacy and budget carriers. They call themselves a “hybrid boutique airline,” offering full-service style amenities and service at a budget airline price, and they have the best legroom I have experienced in any local economy class flight. (Please note that this flight was paid for by Royal Air but these are my honest thoughts and impressions.)

Is Travel a Good Investment? (Royal Air Inaugural Boracay flight!)

On today’s vlog, I join Royal Air's inaugural flight from Clark Airport to Caticlan Airport (Boracay)! Along the way, I share some real talk on the results of my decision to invest so much time and money in travel.

I love to fly so it was a treat to be one of the very first to experience this flight. I found Royal Air's 96-seater BAe 146-100 to be comfortable, with more legroom than much larger Airbus A320s operated by other airlines.

Thanks to Royal Air for having me onboard this inaugural flight! For more information or to book flights on Royal Air, visit https://flyroyalair.com/

Life Lessons from The Queen of the Skies

 I recently watched a documentary on the history of the Boeing 747 Jumbo Jet, and I was struck by how insane, stressful, and virtually impossible the challenges were that the engineers faced, betting the entire company on a plane that may never take off. It ended up revolutionizing air travel, putting more people in the skies than anyone ever imagined. It was a contentious, seemingly unwinnable battle from start to finish to put that plane is the sky --- yet all we see and experience is the joy of flying in a world-changing airplane.

I'd have to say my #1 takeaway from the past year or so from personal experience, reading books, and watching documentaries like that, has been that my expectations for how easy accomplishing anything would be --- how much time and work it would take --- have been all grossly, stupidly out of touch with reality. Good things take time, work, and persistence, and great things take an unimaginable amount of them. Period. And even then, with all of that, success isn't guaranteed one bit. That is precisely why great things are so uncommon in the first place.

Even though we all already know there's no such thing as overnight success, I think most stories of success we read about still fail to do justice to the amount of sacrifice and persistence required to achieve anything. So now the task is to have your work ethic and stomach for enduring false starts and failure catch up with your sky-high ambitions. Not easy, but if you believe you're born to fly, you don't have a choice.
