From London, 14 hours 15 minutes - From Manchester 14 hr 45 min - From Edinburgh 17 hr 10 min. Sarah is from Londondinium - BUT guess what, the flights go via Madrid in Spain. There are shorter flights if you go direct but costa lot of money (see what I did there)

Actually the majority of the stories are lies, but the most popular ones to watch are the weird that are true. I'm from England, so i watch this show, and love seeing reactions to it. Random info, in case you aren't familiar with her, Sara Pascoe is best known as a stand up comedian, but is a regular face on comedy panel shows.

Yes. A lot of other American reactors focus on trying to (earnestly) guess whether it's true or false, without realising that this is barely consequential! The destination is neither here nor there; the journey is all!❤

As a pilot, you'd be surprised. From Hong Kong the difference between Sydney and Melbourne is only a dozen or so miles from memory. Costa Rica from Europe to me would be a huge leg! My first proper airline gig was as a second officer mostly on the A340-600 flights which SUCKED in summer, daylight the whole time over the Artic. The glare was bad enough now sit there for 12 hours.

Ignore the comments calling you idiots. You come across as genuine and intelligent people. Your content is great.

This is one of my favourites. Thanks for reacting to it 😂. Another good one with Sara is the chest of drawers one. Check it out very funny.

I think anyone calling people idiots because they didn’t like the way they watched a thing, has their own problems. Mostly around growing up and basic decency & manners. It’s a shame and quite embarrassing.

"worst high five of all time" 😂 you guys are great, and it was great video!

You are not idiots. The people leaving those remarks are however!

I think the crucial point got lost there because of Rob. lol We Brits go to Spain every year, in our endless millions over time because it is only 2 hours and the nearest Country to guarantee the sun and the holiday resorts are more British than Spanish. Only 2% of Brits go for The Spanish Culture and without the sun Spain would be as popular as Iceland or Slovenia . The key point is that we go to The COSTA Del Sol or Costa Bravo or Costa Blanco or Costa Dorado so, under duress,it is an easy mistake to make until you realize,on the plane, too late.

Well done you two, great review 😊

If you like guessing and you're into music try "Never Mind the Buzzcocks" that's a late night music based quiz... A flight to Spain is roughly 3 to 3 1/2 hours so the 14 1/2 hour flight (which is easy with flight corridors and a dogleg over the USA) is reasonable. At Christmas all flights do go crazy expensive by normally a cheap flight with multiple "layovers" from the UK to Costa Rica is about £300 and Spain (Costa Blanco, Costa del Sol etc) is about £60... So Christmas was the only reason the story passed credibility checks...

I remember seeing this when it came out, and it was the easiest round ever for me. I knew it was true, cos the whole story was part of Sara's standup show that I had seen shortly before at the Edinburgh Fringe.

Fastest direct non-stop flights from London to Costa Rica are about 12 hours. So 14.5 hours on Sarah's trip is just about plausible. Btw - flight time from London to Malaga (main airport on the Costa del Sol) is around 3 hours.

There's a lot of things to take into account when flying as well and even a not massively strong headwind could add an extra 2 hours onto a 12 hour flight, maybe that was accounted for, or maybe the cruising speed of the particular aircraft they were using was slower than the fastest available.

Great reaction as always 👍

I just looked up flights out of curiosity.. from London, they're mostly about 14.5-15.5h to San Jose, including 1 layover of about 1-2h, which is usually in the states somewhere (NY, Houston, etc).

Can’t believe people call you that, Legend springs to mind…& Nick 😆😂🤣

There's a compilation KZread video of Sara's appearances on WILTY. I enjoyed watching it.

One of my favorites is Bob Mortimer and the owl, that will have you in stitches 😂

Oh David Mitchell, never change.

11.5hrs to Cancun from where i was in the UK but has to stop in Newfoundland for refuelling, was only 8.5hrs back as we joined the airstream coming back so picked up extra speed.

Sara Pascoe is one of my favourite people in the world. I love her ❤She's so funny and reasonable. Thanks for the videos as always 😄x

They have tried a US version of WILTY, but it wasn't a success, the contestants were too earnest, and took it far too seriously. Which killed the comedy stone dead! The Steve, who used to be russet, is Steve Davies, 7 times world snooker champion. Snooker is a bit like pool, except the table is about four times the size of a pool table.

Yeh. I think going to Central America would need a more direct routing but staying close to Halifax and the East coast because of Two Engine restrictions; Where California say to London can use the more efficient Polar route. My only long flight was London to LA, and return from San Francisco which is virtually the same route as Las Vegas (which I drove to - in 1998!)

The man called Steve was at one time the World Champion Snooker Player Steve Davies. Just as a bit of information I have flown to both Chile and Peru from the UK and it takes around 17 hours. You have to fly to Amsterdam or Madrid first.

I've been on a plane which had the tracking (map thing) interesting but only flying to Switzerland, this was a turbojet so a slower plane, if you ever fly to Switzerland and it's a jet, don't land at Bern, frighteningly short runway, they throw anchors out of the back door no joke 🤫 I was unaware that we had to call you stupid ❤️

LHR to Costa Rica is around 15 hours with one change at New York or Houston.

How was your trip to the UK and are you doing a post about it? Hope you had a good trip!

Blimey Rob!!! How long!!!

These things happen... I once flew from Madrid to (what I thought to be) Gatwick (Sarf Landin)... Landed at Frankdurt. Turned out to be a great night!

Yes ,but do you know about Potholes and pavements?

Costa Rica is 3000 miles as the crow flies. Aeroplanes go about 4000 miles cos they have to go in an arch

The average flight time between United Kingdom and San Jose (Costa Rica's capital), is 11 hours and 45 minutes

2 suggestions - This is my.....feat Aubrey, with Sara Pascoe and Steve Davis This is my.....feat Billy, with Ed Balls and Jo Brand

Flight time London to Costa Rica - 14 hours 16 minutes including the stop.

11 hours London to Vegas = 9 hours London to Costa Rica? Gerardus Mercator has a lot to answer for.

It's 9 hours to fly to New York from Ireland. England is further away than Ireland and Costa Rica is further away than New York. The 14.5 hours checks out.

13.35 London to Costa Rica . And 8 hours vegas to Costa Rica according to google .

Only the original statement has to be true. They can then twist things from the story to throw people off.

You are correct we can not know everything or on the spot but the word is used to say you did not know empowering word , I am sure they have been in the situation , but if it does or when it happens to me i shrug it off and move on . Or a quick response is always a good tactic to be ready for it, it also looks like you can not say the word on you-tube neither

It's not a direct flight the planes fly straight across the Atlantic then down the American coastline. It takes me 9 hours to Cuba.

The flights are not in a direct line some take a more Northen route and then down the East coast

I know absolutrely everything. Except the things I don't know.

Primarily it's a comedy show. The participants are there for the pay. Most don't care if they win or lose.

I don't know which part of the country you live, obviously in a large country like yours, flight times would vary, but my long distance girlfriend is from Texas, and the shortest flight i could get would be 14 .5 hours to Houston, and still a 2 hour drive from her.

its only abour 2-3 hours to spain

Check WILTY episodes with Henning Wehn. He does have lots of funny stories....

If they're telling the truth, they're not allowed to lie.

If you think about the fourteen and a half hour flight time... It would genuinely take you about eleven hours on your own flight home guys... The average flight time to Costa Rica from the UK is eleven hours and forty minutes... So some flights will be longer... And some will be shorter... The quickest flight i could find... Was ten hours and fifty minutes on a British Airways Flight... But because Sara was traveling during the Christmas Holiday Season period... Some extra time would be added to her flight time... For the inevitable stop in the US... Where some passengers and their luggage... Will be leaving the flight to make their connecting onward flight to their final destinations... When the aircraft would then be refueled and cleaned... As well as being restocked with refreshments for passengers who will be continuing their onward journey to Costa Rica... So yes... I can see that flight time being genuine... Especially during the Christmas Holiday Season period guys. 👍

Layover at JFK for maintenance and refueling.

Longer flight could be because of headwinds ;)

There is almost certainly not a direct flight to Costa Rica. You'd either go via South America or via the USA
