If you have ever booked a flight on new-to-you airline and wished you had known beforehand how large — or small — the seats are, what the snack options are on that particular flight, or whether the blankets are thick enough to keep you warm, the Trip Reporter on YouTube is for you.

A college student who travels regularly across the United States and around the world, the Trip Reporter films his travels in hopes of giving viewers a personal view of the traveling experience.

He begins each video with a look at the departure gates in the airport and the food options available for purchase. He travels in small airports, such as those in Santa Ana, California and Boise; as well as some of the world's largest, such as Chicago O'Hare and Los Angeles International.

The Trip Reporter has traveled on budget airlines and traditional flyers. He has flown economy, business and first-class, as well as domestically and internationally.

He has not been on every flight in existence, but he has traveled on 32 different airlines and dozens of different planes. He welcomes questions about anything important to know on a trip and also accepts suggestions for routes you are interested in.

Check out this video on a flight from Santa Ana, California, to Boise to get an idea of how his work can make traveling easier for you.
