Travel influencer NonStop Dan slammed after claiming he’s ‘stranded’ by Iran war
TRAVEL influencer NonStop Dan is being slammed online after claiming he’s unable to get home from Singapore due to the Iran war, when economy seats were still available on flights.
The popular YouTuber boasts over 1million subscribers and is known for frequently flying around the world.
However, the star received no sympathy after his latest video went live as viewers called him out for actually being able to get home if he were willing to book a cheaper flight.
The video begins with Dan saying him and his friend Alex are “stranded in Asia” like millions of other travellers are going to be.
He was en route to Bali from Singapore, but he claimed he was unable to keep travelling or get home due to the war in Iran.
However, towards the end of the video Dan noted how there were still “a few flights left in economy”.
He very clearly said: “There are a few flights left in economy but even those are selling fast.”
Fans took to the video’s comments section to call out the discrepancy, unable to believe he considered himself as stranded just because he wasn’t willing to fly outside of first class.
One viewer said: “Absolutely hilarious that Dan would rather wait two weeks in Singapore without seeing his family rather than dealing with the horror of travelling economy.”
Another said: “You’re saying I would rather stay in a luxury hotel than fly economy.”
A third added: “Swallow your pride and take economy this one time.”
A forth user joked: “My thoughts are with the premium passengers and those in danger of flying economy.”
NonStop Dan, otherwise known as Daniel Goz, first started travelling at the age of 12, and decided to turn his passion for it into a career.
He predominantly reviews different airlines around the world, having flown with over 160 different ones to date.
Though he mostly flies first and business class based on his history of reviews.
Alongside these reviews, Dan provides his fanbase with travel tips as well as tricks on how to make the most out of your points and air miles.
