Did this challenge 20 years ago in the summer of 2004. My starting point was Newcastle, flight 1 to Copenhagen, flight 2 to Berlin, flight 3 to Nice and flight 4 took me to Paris. Including the flight home from Paris to Newcastle the total cost came in at less than £100 averaging £15-£19 per flight. I do definitely recommend you go back to Albania, what a beautiful country yet not really touristy yet (well it wasn't when I was there in 2017). Another great video, keep them coming.
Reminds me of a story some years ago: A couple travelled from their home town of Bournemouth to London, to catch a coach for a mystery destination holiday. As the coach was pulling away to head for the mystery destination, the driver proudly announced that the mystery destination was... Bournemouth.
Parents took a mystery train ride once, ended up in Torquay... nice as the place was back then, they'd just returned a week earlier from The Egnlish Riviera. Safe to say no hanging gardens or wildebeest majestically moving across the plains on either trip.
My parents, on holiday on the South Coast, went on a mystery coach trip. It took them to their home town. They had a cup of tea at home and went back to their holiday...
Downloading the boarding pass as a PDF and then using that longer barcode off the phone screen has worked for us in the past when my other half lost her physical boarding pass at Oslo airport
that is a good tip, my partner does this all the time as his phone is an old android platform that can't use the Ryanair app. we are frequent flyers to and from Dublin.
@@JessicaRainbow I'm one of those infuriatingly overcautious folk, I have the boarding card in quadruplicate... The app, the PDF, the paper copy and one in the Google Wallet too.
Out of all of the TH-cam channel travel videos that I watch, you are the most organised, naturally witty, and able to link and give reasons for all of your travels. One of a kind. Keep it up, Scott!
Actually that's the airport resonsibility. Ryanair can't force them. And I am sure that Albanians who want to go home are pretty grateful for those flights.
@@seekingtravel Yes, they are fine getting home as their flights to Tirana leave from airports where you can just scan your code. And when they leave they can print their documents at home too. It's the tourists who are stung in such situations.
Never thought Albania would be so beautiful, thanks Scott. And last time I saw an AN-2 up close was in Angola in the 80s, it was a military version, it was the middle of a civil war. Even then I thought it was ancient but it’s a blooming flying legend.
They're still around but less and less of them, which is a shame. I still hope I might get to pilot one at some point but my chances are getting thinner. They are fascinating machines, with a (soviet copy of) Dakota engine and just massive amounts of lift. Fun fact - in case of an engine failure it was an acceptable emergency procedure to just pull up and let the airplane gently fall into the ground... apparently with the way it's wings and whatnot it would more or less act as its own parachute and land firmly but safely.
I just found this by accident and am watching from Castlemaine In Australia. I wish that we had fares as cheap as this 😂. This is fascinating to watch (especially from someone who is so far away from Europe that it takes a day to get there). I sometimes wish that Australia was a bit closer but then we wouldn’t have our beautiful weather. It would be so lovely though to be able to pop over to Paris for a weekend (I’ve been to Adelaide for a night spontaneously with some friends, cost a small fortune). Not quite the same as Paris but still lovely. New sub here 👍
Hearing you I live 160km west of Port Augusta in SA. Whyalla to Adelaide (after we have driven 11/2 hours is around the $400 mark for a 35 minute flight.
Amazing stuff, Scott! The views of Albania look like it would be well worth another look from ground level. Thanks for taking us along with you, as ever!
I was in Albania last September, interesting place and a great alternative if you want cheap late summer sun. Lots of Italians holiday in Albanian, so if you don't like the local food, you will find plenty of Italian dishes.
I’ve driven through a couple of times on road trips, it’s actually a really beautiful place with lots to do and see. I tell this to my friends and they think I’m joking. I also may or may not have been caught having a little too much fun in a rear wheel drive, and may or may not have paid £50 to get out of the situation.
That was awesome Scott, one of the best videos you've done. A classic, and you gave us one of your classic lines too: "Just like in Italy, that means you have chosen that location to die" 😅
Tirana is a city that I’ve visited twice and love! I’ll be heading back fairly soon. Snow capped mountains, a huge park in centre of the city, excellent hotels at very cheap prices and great food. Friendly people and I’ve always felt perfectly safe there, as good as anywhere in the UK.
If a printout is required, Ryanair must also provide it free of charge. This is exactly the case when it says in the online check-in process that you have to contact the airport staff directly, for example because of your nationality and entry requirements. Even if there is no service counter for Ryanair, there is at least one check-in counter where luggage is dropped off.
Hi Scott🙋. I had an 5:50 gate close at Bucharest Airport. To see Bucharest North station in the dark, waked up my memories. Many thanks for doing another exhausting trip. I you one time end up in Cologne I would be delighted to invent you at least for a coffee. Greetings from Germany Marco
Thanks Martin. I appreciate your support. I was asked how hard would it be sitting on my backside for hours, but that kind of stunt is stressful (but also loads of fun). There's always the threat of a flight being canceled at short notice leaving you high and dry somewhere. Thanks again.
Frankly, you should have booked a second night at Jürgen's and spent a day to explore downtown Tirana. I have no idea if there is much to explore - but what use is it just to land, see an airport and fly out again?
I always carry hard copies of tickets and hotel reservations. Occasionally, i encounter connection issues with my mobile. Happy to have a paper copy in those moments.
It’s well worth getting an e-sim nowadays, with European coverage. Phone just keeps working as normal whereas whenever my uk providers say EU is included it never works as it should do! You can get them with revolut now too which are very reasonably priced.
Excellent vid Scott, many thanks. Yes future adventures should include a no backtracking to a country you have previously been in. In my experience, most hotels will only be too happy to print out a boarding card for you.
This was great, how about listing your total costs, including hotel and comparing it to something else, such as trains from Scotland to London and see how it compares? I would be intersted
Epic! You must of been exhausted and tired after all that, and thanks for spending 7 hours at Stansted just for us. Albania looks lovely, and top notch for quality entertainment, Scott.
Recently discovered your channel and watched a fair few and have enjoyed them 😊 love your style 👍 maybe a little recap at the end to remind me what flights you did would be good 👍 my memory is not as good as it used to be 😂
Another great adventure Scott. The spontaneity of it makes it more fun. I'm amazed how low some of those fares were. I'm going to Tirana, Albania soon for first time - looking forward to it.
Wow, Edinburgh Scott - who'd have thought it ! Interesting way of doing things - sooo close to ending up in Bordeaux though. Looking forward to your next one.
My dad introduced me to one of your videos this evening and here I am binge watching all of them tonight!! Hopefully sometime soon we can do something similar and just as crazy who knows!
Crazy... loved it, really well edited. Well it was excellent to be honest. I'm not very mobile at the moment, I'll spare you the self pitying details, but I travel vicariously with this chap & it perks me right up... I'm going to give this a go after a few warm up trips & some research, I've never used Ryan Air before. I must say charging a customer €20 to process their own printed boarding pass when there is no alternative seems a bit rich.
@@lja8187 Lets see. The river is full of human sewage. Theres trash just dumped all along every road and river. The girl in Burger King shortchanged me. And the bus to the airport overcharged despite an actual published fare. I was being nice…..
There's a perception that Ryanair has bad legroom but you actually get 2 inches more 'pitch' than on a Wizzair A320, though the seats are slightly narrower.
@@alexf7377 definitely, Iberia was the worst for me, granted it was an old MD80 but my knees were crushed against the seat in front. Ryanair is luxurious in comparison.
I very much did enjoy this!!😂 Edinburgh! Love it! Much more exotic than Idaho where I’m at. If I did this challenge, I would probably end up in middle of nowhere Kansas.
Absolutely brilliant Scott. Loved this. Back in the day my best friend and I used to turn up at our local travel agent, sit down and ask what was available leaving from Manchester next week. We didn’t really care where we were headed it was just an easy way to get a holiday sorted. Now it’s so easy to do all of this ourselves from the comfort of our own iPhone. Sorely tempted to give this a go sometime.
@@kazzicupbecause its cost prohibitive. more so if you live in Southern Australia. No such thing as an international flight within cooee of the money Scott is quoting.
Good and honest content as always! Thank you! Tirana is an absolute fave destination for us. Friendly and cheap. The standard taxi fare for city centre is €20, so well done for sticking to the airport!
Great video Charles. I love your ability to hoof it while at the same time being both articulate and light hearted. It's great to hear that news even from your car. The scene setter video showing the setup there is also interesting. Great stuff mate.
I am 7 minutes into the video. I have a feeling this four cheap flights journey will be very tiring. But good luck!! I would have flown to Kopenhagen from Bucharest and stayed for at least 24 hours in Kopenhagen to sleep and recharge.
started with the train videos, but you are getting more and more interesting, and being a fellow buddie I feel the need to offer support. Keep up the good and interesting work. COYS.
@34:00 That desk is not a Ryanair desk. They used to be *very* common before Ryanair switched to mobile BP, at least in CEE and the Balkans. It's an independent company which will print your BPs for much less than it would cost at the actual Ryanair airport counter (where you drop your bag if you have one). Considering a cost to print a page in black and white is somewhere in single digit cents, they only really need to print a couple to break even...
Given that the minimum wage in Albania is around £200 per month, having someone waiting all day for a single passenger to come along is already profitable. Depending on the rent the airport charges of course.
Edinburgh my favourite city on the planet 🌎 where I was born in & I was brought up in Falkland Fife where some of Outlander was filmed in. Gorgeous wee village Scott . 👍👍
I love the fact that you wander around aimlessly trying to find something to eat or killing time on your travels ……..spent a lot of time doing that too 👍
I knew you ended up back in Scotland, as soon as I saw the rain. Joke. Loved this video, out of all of them that I've watched over the past 2 days, this one is my favourite so far.
Top tip: Portable bluetooth A4 printer, £100. Its about the size of a 1ft ruler and as thick as a couple of matchboxes. 👍 At Stansted? Take a bus ride to Bishops Stortford and grab a bite to eat. Check out the town.
Legroom is a bit of a lottery on Ryanair in my experience - it can be quite generous on one of their sister companies, eg flying to Poland, or on an older plane. Wizzair (in my limited experience) was the most cramped seating I've come across
The train from Edinburgh to Glasgow was probably more expensive than the four flights combined.
Tbf it’s about £12 these days, but that’s close!
@@davidg61 Inflation now £14.70 off peak single!

I got bored in December and booked myself a random 2 day holiday to Tirana. One of the best inpromptu journeys I've ever had.
Amazing city.
For Tirana airport, you just need to check in online and then go to the check in desk when it opens and they'll give you a paper ticket.
Just get the hotel to print it much easier
Surely for Ryanair they'll charge you for this? And if you don't have check in luggage then prinitng it out elsewhere will save the effort

Luton is a tourist gem that they try to keep under wraps, because they don't want it being ruined by becoming too popular.

Can I ask what tool you use to find the cheapest flight. Normally you put in destination in all the tools I use

£22 for flight to Romania. £23 for coffee in airport
Quite 🌰

Vueling is a close contender.
Just joined your channel, really enjoyed this video 👌😊
The space underneath the seat comparison will be interesting video for cabin bags
