- We're gonna fly on this jet that costs half a million dollars per flight and we're also gonna fly on a $25,000 private jet, a $10,000 first-class seat, a blimp, and so much more.
2
But before I show you what it's like to fly on some of the most luxurious plane on the planet, we're gonna fly on the cheapest plane in the world.
3
It's really rickety.
4
Here's the dollar.
5
I'm very nervous.
6
- Nothing to be nervous about.
7
I've done this half a dozen times.
8
- You've done this six times?
9
(lively music) (engine whirring) Why does this sound like a lawn mower engine?
10
(Doug laughing) Time for ride on world's cheapest plane ticket.
11
(lively music) Oh boy.
12
Oh my... Oh my gosh, round up.
13
We're going so fast. - Come on, get it.
14
- That does not sound safe. - Nah ah.
15
(wind whooshing) - They almost hit the camera.
16
- Whoo! - What are you doing?
17
- Keep your seatbelt on. - Uh, you just focused on keeping me alive, Doug. - I'm trying.
18
(engine whirring) - All right, he's in there.
19
- All right, dibs on the channel.
20
- I got what I need. You can land whenever.
21
- (laughing) No. - Doug, come on. Doug, please.
22
- That guy pays my bills. Be careful.
23
- And if you guys think this is crazy, wait until later in the video when we have the world's most expensive plane ticket on the planet.
24
- Wait a minute, you're making me feel bad.
25
- Oh my god, he's coming in hot.
26
(engine whirring) - [Doug] Get ready to land.
27
(metal clanking) - Almost.
28
- [Group] Yeah.
29
- We're on the ground, we survive.
30
- [Person] Our next plane is the $1,000 first class plane ticket.
31
- But here's the thing, boys.
32
I bought all the first class seats, so, sit wherever you want.
33
- Would you like some miracle mist lotion?
34
- Why? - Because first class, baby, fine dining, huh.
35
- [Person] Each of us has our own seat and TV.
36
The ticket also comes with a decent meal, a free bag of toiletries and pajamas.
37
- Do we get to take all this home with us - [Person] And during longer flights...
38
- Recline. We should recline into a bed.
39
- I feel like I'm in a coffin, which I like.
40
- Yeah, this is crazy.
41
- [Person] And best of all...
42
- My favorite part about this $1,000 plane, I don't need to speak to Nolan.
43
- I don't like this glass 'cause it like separates me.
44
I'm all alone back here.
45
- That is the exact reason why I like it.
46
- [Person] The only downside is that you don't get a lot of privacy.
47
- [Chris] It's really awkward filming a video with all these people walking by.
48
- [Person] So, let's see what a plane ticket 10 times more expensive will feel like.
49
- And now, the $10,000 plane ticket.
50
Oh man, this is nice.
51
I have unlimited legroom here.
52
Look, let's start off by analyzing what we get.
53
A tablet, a giant touchscreen TV, my own in-seat drink bar, snacks.
54
This isn't Feastables chocolate. I want a refund.
55
- We're getting connected to the Wi-Fi.
56
We might have paid $10,000 for our seat but we still have to pay $20 for Wi-Fi.
57
- It's not free?
58
- Now, we're taking off, which is pretty crazy because I can literally watch it on my TV and because it's a 16-hour flight, I get to take a...
59
Look at how nice this bathroom is.
60
You have a sink, a toilet, and then a shower.
61
That is crazy. Look at that.
62
We are 30,000 feet in the air and I can take a shower - [Person] On top of that, me and the boys can order as much gourmet food as we want.
63
And that's not all, we save the best for last.
64
- Hey, how's it going?
65
- [Person] There's a private lounge in the back of the plane.
66
- Hey, Jimmy.
67
- Yeah. - Ow.
68
- You're not dreaming.
69
- That was the $10,000 plane ticket.
70
Point the camera up and down.
71
And now we're at the $25,000 plane ticket that is up these stairs.
72
That's right, there's floors.
73
- This is insane.
74
- This is crazy.
75
We're gonna be sitting above other people.
76
- Oh my god.
77
- Now, this is your room.
78
- [Person] For $25,000, you get two massive rooms.
79
- Oh, this is crazy. I've never seen anything like this.
80
- Holy... - [Person] Our space on this plane is literally four times bigger than the last one.
81
I've never seen a plane where I can comfortably do jumping jacks.
82
Look at this.
83
- [Person] We also get two chairs, a ton of TVs.
84
- There are more TVs in this one room than all of the other planes we've been on - [Person] Food served by a personal flight attendant.
85
- Why is it that after a certain price point, they always give you a caviar?
86
- And the bathroom. - Can we talk about something?
87
This bathroom is like a disappointment.
88
No shower, no heated floors, half the size.
89
I think the $10,000 flight was a better price point.
90
- Would you pay this kind of money for a single flight?
91
- I wouldn't recommend this. I would recommend a car.
92
- Buy a car instead.
93
- And now, the best part of the room, a queen size bed.
94
Ooh. - Why don't they just make every seat a bed?
95
- Bro, instead of three seats side by side, just put a bunk bed with three bed.
96
(bright music) (audio squeaks) (hand thudding) - Good morning. That was really good sleep.
97
- Karl, wake up. We're gonna land.
98
- I slept like a rock.
99
That was the world's most expensive commercial flight.
100
Time for private flights. (screen whooshing) This is the $100,000 plane.
101
- This thing's huge.
102
- At this price point, you get the entire plane.
103
(group cheering indistinctly) - Private, private. - Oh, it's like a yacht.
104
- This is wild. - This is unbelievable.
105
- You wanna know the craziest part?
106
This is just one of four rooms.
107
- [Karl] There's more to the plane, I thought this was it.
108
- Guys, come over here.
109
What room is this?
110
- [Person] This is literally another lounge area with a bunch of snacks and a huge TV.
111
And if you're feeling tired, you get your own private bedroom.
112
- Dude, what? Wee.
113
- This is like a hotel.
114
- [Person] And last but not least, the bathroom.
115
- Three, shut your mouth right now. Shut it.
116
- Whoa. - This is insane.
117
There's a seat in the bathroom. Dibs - Have you ever even seen a jet half this size?
118
- No. - Never.
119
- What do we talk about while on our private jet?
120
- Well, I'll tell you, last year I had sold the (indistinct).
121
- Oh no. Oh, wait.
122
I just realized I'm taking off backwards (water bottle thuds) (GoPro thuds) - Whoa. - GoPro.
123
- I didn't realize we were taking off.
124
- Not the camera. Stop!
125
- This is crazy. Whoa, oh.
126
(Karl whistling) (group laughing) - Bro flew. - Oh my God.
127
(person laughing) - I can just roll back.
128
- Oh, turbulence.
129
All right, I'm going to sit down.
130
- This might be the best bathroom yet.
131
This is the toilet.
132
On the toilet you can watch TV.
133
- Hey, Nolan, I hope you feel comfortable in the bathroom.
134
- What's going on? I'm so confused.
135
(door thuds) No, no. (laughs) - He's never getting out.
136
- (gasps) What? - Oh wow.
137
- I have steak, mashed potatoes, and veggies.
138
And you guys inspired me a little bit, so I brought some pizza.
139
- [Group] Yeah!
140
(upbeat music) - This is my favorite plane because it has YouTube but we didn't pop up first, so now, it's not.
141
- You can tell this is a rich person bed 'cause there's like 500 pillows.
142
This one outta here. That one outta here.
143
(singer sings in foreign language) - I'm gonna fly this thingy.
144
- And that's the beauty of flying private.
145
You can do whatever you want whenever.
146
Karl's flying the plane, Chandler's jamming out the pizza.
147
Chris is taking a nap and I don't even know where Nolan went.
148
There's no layovers when you fly private and there's no TSA, so you save tons of time.
149
Hence why? Basically, every rich person you know owns a private jet.
150
- Hey, guys. - Yeah.
151
- We're gonna land soon.
152
- Karl, let me out. (hand thudding) - Where about...
153
We're gonna land? You gotta let me out, bro.
154
- Oh, oh. - Oh my God.
155
That was the opposite smooth.
156
- Wait, wait. Is Nolan still in the bathroom?
157
- I don't know, really. - Karl, go let him out.
158
- Oh, oh. - How was your flight?
159
- Still better than the $1000 plane.
160
(Karl laughing) - And now, the $300,000 blimp.
161
I'll unblur it in a second.
162
Before I remove your blindfolds, what do you think is on the side of the blimp?
163
- Is it Nolan's phone number?
164
- Did you do Nolan's phone number?
165
- That would be funny. - Next time.
166
- Take off your blindfolds. Turn turnaround.
167
(person scream) (MrBeast laughs) (group laughing) - I heart Karl's mom. Hold up.
168
Why? He really loves my mom.
169
- No, Karl, he hearts your mom. He doesn't love your mom.
170
That'd be weird. - No, I love her.
171
- Oh. (blowing raspberries) - [Chandler] Dude, am I pushing it right now?
172
- Ooh, it's like moving.
173
- This giant aircraft can literally just be pulled by a rope.
174
And you might be wondering how did I afford this giant blimp and pay six figures to wrap it?
175
ZipRecruiter, a recruiting platform that I use to hire people like editors, cameramen, and accountants.
176
Let's see if it stops floating when I get on it.
177
(metal stairs thuds) - That's gains, dude.
178
- Does that mean I'm fat?
179
- It means you work out a lot. - Or I'm fat.
180
ZipRecruiter is where people go to discover their next great job.
181
If this blimp crashes, then I die.
182
- Uh-huh. - You guys could just use ZipRecruiter to find a new job.
183
- That'll make it so much easier. Thanks, man.
184
- I feel like I don't like this conversation.
185
- Shh, shh. All right, let's do this.
186
Goodbye, Chandler.
187
Goodbye, forever. (door thuds) - I think I heard forever.
188
- [Chris] He could have promoted anything and he chose Karl's mom.
189
- I'm terrified. This ain't picking up speed.
190
- Well, we'll see you at the race.
191
- [Person] Oh, and I forgot to mention, we're flying this blimp over 150,000 people at the world's largest race car event.
192
And Karl has no idea.
193
- Before I die in this blimp, I wanna tell you guys about ZipRecruiter.
194
We recently made a job posting on ZipRecruiter and I'm gonna call one of the candidates and interview them.
195
(phone ringing) Hey, Thomas.
196
I saw your application on ZipRecruiter. Can you hear me?
197
- [Thomas] Yes, I can. Is this MrBeast?
198
- Yeah, I'm MrBeast, it doesn't matter.
199
- [Thomas] Sorry, I can't barely hear you right now.
200
- Yeah, because we're on a blimp.
201
How long have you been an editor for?
202
- [Thomas] I've been an editor for about 10 years.
203
- Do you think you can improve our videos?
204
- [Thomas] I think with a strong team and a little creative innovation, I can definitely make your videos better.
205
- Okay, not bad. Send me some examples of your work.
206
If like Thomas, you want a shot to come work for us, click the link in the description or go to ziprecruiter.com/mrbeast.
207
We're gonna look at every single person that applies.
208
(crowd cheering) (cars revving) We are now over the Daytona 500 which is one of the busiest events ever.
209
- [Karl] You couldn't have put something better on the blimp. - No, this is perfect.
210
- This is wrong. (laughing) - [Chris] Can they see us?
211
- [MrBeast] You can see 'em. (screen dings) - Karl, I can confirm. Everyone loves your mom down here.
212
- I love Karl's mom.
213
- Everybody's like, "We love..." - [Crowd] I love Karl's mom.
214
- Karl's mom, if you're watching, you're a lovely lady.
215
- [Crowd] We love Karl's mom.
216
- [Karl] You're a psycho.
217
- [MrBeast] For your mom.
218
(audio thuds) - [Person] And now, the most expensive private plane ticket on the planet.
219
(upbeat music) - Hi, welcome board.
220
I suggest you taking your shoes off.
221
That carpet's actually $2 million.
222
- She's like, "I suggest it, really hard." - [MrBeast] And by square feet, this is bigger than our houses.
223
- [Person] It's almost impossible to imagine how big this jet actually is.
224
- Right here is a bedroom.
225
- Wow. - A bedroom.
226
Another bedroom, another bedroom. Keep going.
227
This is for the crew, another bedroom.
228
- Hoo! - What'd you find?
229
- My dibs? - [Person] The bedrooms on this plane are way more extravagant.
230
Gold plated sinks, multiple showers.
231
- Wait, what's in there? - That's the toilet.
232
- [Person] This plane comes with its own theater room, a lounge that can seat it up to 12 people.
233
- [MrBeast] And then over here is the living room.
234
- This is like a bigger couch than what I have in my house.
235
- I just want you to know you've only seen a third of the plane so far.
236
- There's more.
237
- [Chris] What? Oh, got some good stuff.
238
- You can call flight attendants in your bedroom.
239
- If we could do this every time we fly, I'd live in the air.
240
Whoa, whoa, what is that?
241
- Sorry, I'm turning the lights on and off.
242
- How did I miss this room?
243
Like we walked around the whole plane - And in case you thought you saw everything, there's also massages on this plane.
244
How is it, Karl?
245
- It's amazing.
246
- So, I really just shouldn't.
247
(glass shattering) (Chris giggling) - Gentlemen, how were we able to afford this plane?
248
- I would say only our fans.
249
- [Person] And because of that, we invited a bunch of random subscribers on this half a million-dollar plane ride.
250
- Have you ever flown on a private jet before?
251
- No. This is my first time.
252
- And it's the most expensive one on the planet.
253
- I've never seen anything like this on a plane.
254
Like this is crazy.
255
- Ma'am, what is this right here?
256
- That's gas station chocolate.
257
- Can you just throw it? Okay.
258
(chocolates thudding) - I didn't think she'd literally throw 'em. (stewardess laughs) This is the chocolate you need to serve from now on, okay?
259
- Got it. It's called Feastables, It's the highest rated chocolate on the planet.
260
- [Karl] What the heck is over this way?
261
- [Chris] Yo, this gotta be a secret room.
262
That's where the crew is.
263
We just got a bunch of funny looks. (chuckles) - Attention, boys. We're about to take off.
264
Fasten your seat belts, stop being hooligans. Thank you.
265
(head thuds) (Nolan screams) (group laughs) Typically, what kind of people fly on a plane like this?
266
- Business people.
267
How do my dumb friends compare?
268
- It's pretty dumb, I guess, I'd say.
269
(MrBeast laughs) - [Person] At this price point, they serve the highest quality food anytime you want it and anywhere on the plane.
270
Even in your own private master suite.
271
- You want some?
272
(audio smooching) (group laughing) - Do you guys even know where we're going?
273
- [Group] No.
274
- We're taking you all to Disney World and we're gonna give you two days of all expense paid trips to do whatever you want.
275
(group indistinctly cheering) - No way.
276
- So, if you wanna fly on the most expensive jet in the world and then spend two days all paid for in Disney World, subscribe.

In this lesson, you will dive into engaging English speaking practice by exploring a lively YouTube video that compares various airplane tickets from the world’s cheapest to the most luxurious. You’ll encounter a plethora of vocabulary and phrases that describe travel experiences, emotions, and luxuries associated with flying. By shadowing the speakers, you can practice pronunciation, intonation, and conversational nuances, which will enhance your overall English communication skills. This lesson is particularly beneficial for learners preparing for the IELTS speaking test, as it offers real-life dialogue that mimics conversational English.
Key Vocabulary & Phrases
- Jet - A type of aircraft, often used for business travel.
- First-class - A premium travel class that offers additional comforts.
- Rickety - An adjective describing something that is unstable or could break down.
- Pajamas - Comfortable sleepwear often provided in first-class flights.

Practice Tips
To effectively use the shadowing technique while watching this video, start by listening to short segments, preferably no longer than a sentence or two. Pause the video after each segment and repeat what you hear, mimicking the speed and tone of the speakers. The energetic and informal nature of the dialogue will help you become more attuned to everyday expressions and improve your English pronunciation.
You may find that the speakers' conversational style includes pauses and emphatic intonation, which are crucial for making your speech more engaging. Focus on the emotions conveyed, especially during exciting moments—this will help you sound more natural in conversations. Regular practice with this technique will not only enhance your fluency but also aid in preparing for speaking exams like the IELTS by allowing you to practice common travel-related topics in a fun and interactive manner.
What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
