I Surprised Her With Business Class Seats!!

In this 30‑minute vlog, Rob Lipsett documents a surprise business‑class upgrade for his partner Linda on a Dublin‑Hong Kong‑Sydney itinerary arranged for the Ghost Lifestyle 3‑day Sydney Fitness Expo. The video opens with Rob prepping for the airport, teasing the surprise, and showing the packed travel bag and seat controls. He narrates the in‑flight experience on Cathay Pacific, including meals, movies, and a comfortable sleeping setup, and later explores the award‑winning Hong Kong lounge. After a 23‑hour journey, Rob and Linda land in Sydney, check into the InterContinental Double Bay, and showcase the hotel’s amenities and champagne. The vlog then shifts to fitness‑focused content: a gym session at Kingdom Gym, a Bondi Beach swim, and a breakfast at Watson Bay Boutique Hotel. Throughout, Rob shares vlogging advice—gear, public‑vlogging confidence, and predictions that vlogging will become as mainstream as Instagram. He meets Ghost Lifestyle co‑founders Dan and Ryan, attends the expo, and hints at upcoming business trips to Melbourne and Bali. The video ends with a recap, gratitude to viewers, and a call to like, comment, and subscribe.

Okay everyone, welcome to today's video. Now I don't have much time because Linda is about to come back any second. She's just down packing, getting something from the car. You know I like to make these travel days a little bit more interesting, so in today's video, basically I had a trip to Australia. We're going to see the By the way, I had a trip to Australia, uh, because I'm going there for an event with Ghost Lifestyle. It's 3-day Sydney Fitness Expo, so I'm really excited for that. This was booked a long time ago. Last minute, Linda kind of decided that she can go, she would like to go. She's got family in Australia, she used to live there, so yeah, she really doesn't want to miss out. And she's like, this is a perfect time to go to Australia, so she's coming with me. Basically, I'm flying business as that's what Ghost got me, and I told her that when I was sorting all the flights that there was no more space in business. And thanks to good people at Cathay Pacific, they sorted something out. I told her she's flying economy, which she doesn't mind at all, but, uh, you know, obviously it's a long flight, you like to be together, you'd like to be with someone you know. And so she thinks we're apart, but yeah, she's gonna be flying business with me, and she's never flown business before, said she would love to. There's nothing wrong with flying economy, but obviously business is very nice, very relaxing, and yeah, it's fun. So she's gonna be back any minute. I'm just gonna finish up packing and then we're gonna go to the airport. I don't know I'm gonna keep it from her for as long as possible. Like, I've checked in online, so we just got to go to bag drop, so I think I should make it past that. It would be great if she didn't realize until we got on the actual plane, but we'll see. Either way, um, hope she enjoys it, and hope you guys enjoy it. I hope it's a fun and interesting vlog. Give it a like, thumbs up, subscribe. Let's get into it. We are just about to leave for the airport now. We should be there right on time. The flight is at midday, 11:55. And it's now like 10. So check up to you when we get to the airport. We're both very excited, very excited indeed. But okay, so the plan for today, the flight is Dublin to Hong Kong, which I really want to go to, and like I've never actually been to Hong Kong, Tokyo, that area. So it's only a layover, but we'll be there for a little bit, and then Hong Kong to Sydney. So I think Okay, so we'll give you a little house tour. Linda was just like, this is our little den, and that's what it actually feels like. It's our little fort. Fort. I saw a cameo from your foot. But, um, so we just got some coffees beforehand. Hotel, major key, TV. Now that's some next level stuff right there. That is the future. But, um, and then you've got a little seat controller here. Let me give you a look at that. It's where you control your seat, it's where you control the TV. Hong Kong, 27 degrees, amazing. We got a little— how do you open this again? There we go, there we go. So then we got like water bottle, kind of like flight bag. I think there's like toothpaste and stuff in there. Some really cool earphones. The seats are absolutely huge. Can't wait to like make it into a bed so we can I can go to sleep. That's my bag here. So yeah, excited. Earplugs when I'm sick of listening to your crap. Oh look, toothpaste. Perfect. Yeah, who needs that? Sponsored by Colgate. Lip care. You need a lip balm. Oh yeah, I should do. You need this. Oh, are you trying to say I've got bad breath? Oh, they've got the little bits. Um, oh, this is a ginger, uh, chicken flavored chicken with the wuyer fungus. It's like mushrooms. It's like a little bit Chinese Please try, I hope you like it. I will, thank you very much. Cheers. So this is starters and then the mains, and we ordered the lamb, so we'll show you that when it comes. And we're also going to watch Silver Linings Playbook. Okay, so change of plan, we are now watching 10 Things I Hate About You. I've never seen it, apparently it's a classic, apparently it's a classic. Me and Linda always do when we're on flights, what we've done once before is we always like press play at the exact same time. If it's out of loop by 1 second, we like freak out. So yeah, 10 Things things I had about you. Starters, absolutely delicious. Yeah, this is the first thing we've eaten all day, so yeah, just give me a second. A little bit jealous of their hamburger, I'm not gonna lie. I ordered the lamb, so that should be here any minute now. That hamburger does look good though. All right, so here is the lamb. So we're a couple hours into the flight and starting to chill out a little bit. The lights are starting to dim, so we're going to go to sleep in a while. But I just found out this is the only flight that goes from Dublin to Hong Kong. So that's crazy. I know we just have a layover in Hong Kong this time, but I would love to go there on an actual trip. Me and Joe Delaney actually spoke about that recently. We'd love to go. Oh, thank you. Ja, go ahead. Right on time. Amazing, thank you. So awesome. So far, absolutely loving the flight. Like, you know, Cathay has got like such a big kind of— it's got such a good reputation even on social media and content creation. Their IG feed is just like— is goals. So, um, yeah, absolutely like the flight on this, having a good time. And yeah, now I'm gonna have a little bit more wine, some Diet Coke, and then I'm gonna go to sleep for a little bit. So this is This is the sleeping apparatus. So we've combined one duvet and then we're gonna have another one here. Oh my God, that's so good. I love our little den. Okay, alright, good night. 6 hours later. I don't look great either with this. Look bored. We were gonna not get breakfast, just get some fruit. Went for a nap there, woke up really hungry, changed our minds, so we just ordered two Western breakfasts. Yeah, I'm excited now because apparently there's bacon involved. Here's another look at the breakfast. So we land in about 2 hours. Got the fruit, got some bacon, some potatoes, egg. Pastries I'm gonna try avoid. And then we got some Creed, some coffee. Literally do not want to get off the plane, but now we are recommended to go to the lounge. It's meant to be insane. Thank you so much, guys. Appreciate it. Bye-bye. See ya. So they recommend us go to this lounge. It's going to be like an award-winning lounge, absolutely insane. Apparently you can do yoga in it. But so yeah, we've got like a 2-hour layover, so we're gonna check that out now, eat a little bit more food just because I'm curious to see what type of food they have here, even though I'm meant to be cutting. And but I still think I'm like under on calories for the day anyways. Uh, so let's go check out this lounge. Thank you, please enjoy. Amazing, thank you very much. Cheers. Oh, we made it to the lounge. It This is so nice, it's like a hotel. There's a big huge buffet over there with my name on it. So yeah, looks really good. Uh, we don't have actually that much time before our flight, about 45 minutes, so I'm gonna do a challenge to see how many pastries I can stuff into my mouth in 45 minutes. Good times. This has to be one of the most random combinations of food that you've ever seen on this channel, but I'm actually looking forward to it because for some reason I get really hungry when I travel, so we're eating a lot of vegetables. There's some chicken sausage in there, some little chicken wrap, some mushrooms. Let's sample the chicken sausage. Absolutely amazing. I heard chicken sausages here are award-winning. So we're gonna chill here and then we got our flight in like 40 minutes. So we're just getting on the plane there, and one of the other passengers was like, "Oh, you are a YouTuber?" Because I've got this like massive microphone on top of my camera. It's a big Sony A7. A lot of times people ask me, "How do you vlog in public?" You know, "How do you get over it?" And as long as you like, you're confident in it, you own it, you'd actually be surprised about how well received it is. Like, oftentimes people want to be part of the action. Like, people want to be part of the show. So, you know, instead of trying to hide it, yeah, be comfortable with it. Be like, this is what I do, this is a hobby, maybe I'm just getting into it, but just own it. That's my advice for kind of vlogging in public and getting started. Oftentimes more well received than you might think. And nowadays I think it's going this way, okay, vlogging over the past couple of years, it's getting so kind of mainstream that I think in a few years' time everyone is going to have a YouTube channel the way everyone has an Instagram, and people are gonna like vlog any trip they go on, they're gonna vlog their night out, they're gonna do it all on their phones. I think that's a prediction that I'm gonna make for the future. I think vlogging is going to more and more mainstream. Anyways, we are just about to— feels smooth. So anyways, we're just about to start our journey from Hong Kong to Sydney. Here's my little map. Like a weatherman. I'm the weatherman. Yeah, yeah. So we're looking like a great day over Hong Kong. Yeah, blue skies all around everyone. Here's Scott. It's going to be a great journey. But yeah, it's We're just about to take off, so see you in Sydney. Right, hopefully I can speak in this clip this time. Uh, we just made it to Sydney, so that is 23 hours of travel under our belt. Um, obviously flying business made it so much easier. We're still very tired, so we have these little fast track things as we're coming off the plane, so hopefully we will be in the hotel soon. See you there. Oh my God, right, long days travel, very, very excited for this. We're staying in the Intercontinental in Double Bay, which is where I was staying when I was here with Joey D in April. No, it's April now. I'm delirious. In February. Yeah, and it was so good that we are back. So let's check this. Oh my God, the champagne! We were like, we were like, no more alcohol till at least Saturday. Wow, look at this. Wow. One more night couldn't hurt. And check this view. It looks so much better during the day as well. Oh, whoa, so beautiful though. So nice. Right, that is where we are going to finish up today's vlog. Leave it a thumbs up, like, comment, subscribe. Here's some more Australia adventures. Uh, the last Australia trip was more kind of like fun. This one's going to be a little bit more business orientated. Dog ruined my vlog. So we got the Expo Friday, Saturday, Sunday, I'm gonna be with Christian and Max, so we'll do some good collabs, some good videos together. But yeah, see you guys then. Peace. Yo guys, what is up? Welcome to today's video. Before we begin, can we check out this amazing view? Oh my God, it is insane. What a day. So we're back in the Intercontinental in Sydney. It's where I stayed before, so good. We're back again today. I decided to whip out the camera. I'm just about to go downstairs and hit the gym. I know it's a really good gym. I've trained there before, so I'm so excited to train because after a big long-haul flight like that, you never feel too great. You always feel a bit blur, a little bit watery. And then after that, we're gonna go explore Sydney for a little bit. So give the video a thumbs up. Let's get into it. It's such a nice day and I am excited. Okay, we're actually in all right now. Like, like you come in, you've got Opera House, the bridge, the markets. Look at that! Also checking in at Sydney Opera House. We got some shades, so that is one thing off the to-do list. Erich's going to walk walk around taking the scenes. Basically, Linda used to live in Melbourne, okay, so she's kind of comparing it to that. I think personally Sydney's better during the day, Melbourne's better for nightlife, but I come down below if you're from Melbourne or Sydney. But yeah, so we're just gonna walk around, get our steps in for a little bit, and just be tourists. All right, so fun day. We are so hungry though. We're trying to— we've been trying to kind of save our calories for the end of the day, as that's like a good tip for traveling as well. Even just like, you know, don't be snacking all day because you know you're going to be eating out a lot. But so we're just in an Uber now. We're going to this place called the Watson Bay Boutique Hotel. I'm so hungry. So we should be there in like 5 minutes. So I'll show you guys what we get. Okay, so even though they spelled my name wrong, it's S-E-T-T. Food looks absolutely amazing. This is one of the top-rated places in all Watson Bay. It's called the Watson Bay Boutique Hotel. Look at this food. Portobello mushrooms. Half chicken, Italian greens, broccolini, more half chicken, and an avocado salad. We are about to dig in. Cashew nuts. That looks amazing! What a way to start the day! Oh my God, trying to find like space to put down the cutlery. Okay, so I vlogged a little bit of that, but like the moment they put it down, we just started eating it because we're really hungry, and it just looks absolutely amazing. This is one of the reasons why I vlog, because it's like you want to remember stuff like this. Like, best breakfast, best view, and we're just going to meet all the owners of Ghost and, um, another friend of mine, Nick, who's from New Zealand, lives in Australia. It's just going to be a good day today. So yeah, welcome to today's vlog. What a start, and oh my God, that was amazing. Shout out to Intercontinental Double Bay, literally the best stuff. Hey, we've been trying to figure out what the hell this machine is. Go on, show us what you came up with there. Yeah, okay, for some reason I'm not sure if that's it, but either way, please comment down below if you know what this is. We even know— we have no idea. And it's Watson, and like, that's really good equipment. So strange. Anyways, we just finished up a really good back, biceps, and trap session. One of my favorite gyms, like, literally in the world. I've trained, you know, everywhere— LA, New York, Sydney, Melbourne— and this is one of the best. So Kingdom Gym, definitely check it out if you're here. The owner is a really nice guy too. But now I'm hungry. I haven't eaten since that epic breakfast that you guys saw earlier, which was still kind of sensible, you know. It was like egg white, fruit, you know, pretty low in fat. Low in calories, but I am tracking today and we're going to get a protein shake next. So yeah, good day. So I really wanted to get one of the X-rated shakes, but we played it sensible and I literally just got 2 scoops of salted caramel whey and milk because it's a bit lower in calories than normal milk, and ice. We're gonna go to the hotel now, check in, meet everyone, and then I got a haircut scheduled for 2 PM on Bondi. So let's get it. Mate, thank you so much. Everyone go check out We Are Komodo, it's Nick's agency. Here we are at the Sofitel. Nick kindly gave us a lift, so we're just about to check in. Here we go. Gonna save you guys the room tour this time. I checked in really quickly, dropped my bags off and then went to go meet Dan and Ryan, who are the two owners of Ghost Lifestyle, which is a supplement company I'm sponsored by. They're also two pretty sick guys. I'm glad to call them friends. Alright boys and girls, so I'm with these two absolute tanks, and what we're doing now is we're getting cleaned up for the expo because right now my fade is not on point, and when my fade isn't on point, I don't feel right. Yeah, shit fade. I need that extra centimeter off my hair or I'm just not same person. You're about to see me go from a 3 out of 10 to a 4 out of 10 before your very eyes, right? It's going to be beautiful. It's going to be like Operation Transformation. Let's go! Yo, what's going on everyone? We woke up, just got a little coffee, did a little bit of cardio in the morning, and now we are starting off our day with a morning swim in no other place than Bondi Beach. Like, look at the absolute scenes! That is truly insane, and it warms warms my heart to be back here as this was one of my favorite parts of the whole trip that me and Joe did in February. I think we're going to start off the icebergs, a little quick swim, and then get the expo started. A little bit different from like starting your day like before BodyPower in Birmingham, but yeah, I love all expos. So the expo was a huge success as always, and I just want to give a big thank you to everyone who came out. Still blows my mind that I have people that watch these videos from all over the world. I never stop appreciating that. I'll never take it for granted, and I'll never fully get used to it. And personally, I think that's a a good way to be. This also marks the start of an epic journey, as after Sydney I'm going to Melbourne and then on to Bali to have some fun but also do some business, as I'm connecting with some people over there and also looking into starting some new projects. But more on that later. Gonna wrap things up here. I hope you enjoyed this vlog. It was an eventful one, to say the least. We literally went all over the world. But anyways, I'm out of here. Much love, keep it real, peace. See you in the next
