What's worse is the people who find it absolutely hilarious. Air rage prior to flying is a new thing for me, but this is a legitimate cause to kill fellow passengers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resk Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Widerøe is my airline of choice/necessity these days and is rather decent. Free wrap and drink, although you only get one swing at it on the one hour hop between Aberdeen and Stavanger. The plane has propellors so I like to get a window seat and pretend I'm a Spitfire pilot. Most importantly it lives up to its name with a decent range of Norwegian wids. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try not to sit by the propellor with a toothache, the vibration is hell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a guy who does full flight videos on Youtube - an 11 hour one popped into my recommendations and whilst the take off and landing are interesting the 10hr 45min in the middle where he just points the camera out of the window is dull. I think he also flew to Australia and back over the course of 3 days so he could get a certain flight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 I quite like the Korean guy Sam Chui on YouTube. He started off good but seems to just get sponsored to review things by airlines so theres never anything critical, its always the best experience he’s ever had etc. I do like some of his videos from a perspective of its an insight into cabins i’ll never get to travel in i.e. Ethihad Residence etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh god I couldnt watch that, I just like the wee 10min videos, -lounge-seat-food-overall review etc couldnt be doing with 11 hours of looking out a window. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it strangely interesting, but I have no idea why. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Capital Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I don't know about other folks, but I'm only interested in these airline videos if they're flights I've been on or are horrible reviews. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve done Edinburgh Doha before and it was comfy. Going through to Amritsar this time so hoping the second leg will be suitable however I’m planning on being pished by then anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UsedToGoToCentralPark Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Has anyone flown Vueling before? Doing a few night in Barcelona, flying out from Manchester in July They will get you there and back most likely. Think they are a pretty no frills effort but will be fine for a short hop like that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highland Capital Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 (edited) The flights I took with BA last month were the first I'd had with them since 2015 (going to watch Caley Thistle play in Romania!). I see you now have to pay for your meals, which you didn't have to before I'm sure. Considering they are usually one of the more expensive airlines, what's the benefit of going with them over say Easyjet?

Think of BA as a metaphor for the UK, delusions of grandeur and behind the times. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
