POV of boarding flight caffeinatedfrom @firedbyfriday

[01]

Overview

The creator uses shaky, first-person POV footage to show themselves walking through an airport terminal, down a jet bridge, and onto an airplane to find their seat. The entire video is set to an energetic song, and a text overlay provides the humorous context that they are '12 lounge sodas deep' for a morning flight, with the chaotic visuals representing a caffeine or sugar rush.
