Hi paul .. could you fly from LDY city of Derry airport
At some small airports here in the US parking is free
Wingin’ It! Paul Lucas Please Paul can you do Singapore airlines London to Singapore? That would be cool
Do you think its a good idea to drive distracted (which is an offence even in Ireland) just to create content for your channel? What if you have an accident or hurt someone by doing this? End of channel isn't it. Holding your camera out of the car while driving omg what are you doing? Let's hope the police don't have internet there or you could be in for a tasty fine. TH-cam vloggers are not as far as I am aware, above the law.
Huw Twendesigsteene stop crying
Donegal can sometimes be the forgotten jewel of Ireland. It is spectacular. This video only helps and promotes a way to get there.
think it's because it's so hard to access, places like dublin, belfast, derry, galway, mayo, kerry and cork all have rail access while donegal has no rail access at all
The public service element of the route from Donegal to Dublin also means that people can reach the county from +/- 200 destinations around the world. That's really important for a county that's as isolated from public transport as Donegal happens to be.
Love that Loganair livery with the tartan pattern.
Lived in northeast England (Newcastle) for a few years, but was never familiar with them as we always just took the train up to Scotland.
You'll get cheaper parking at Sønderborg Lufthavn SGD in Denmark: the parking is free and you get a coffee too.
Yay!! Free coffee! :)
And you get free newspaper and magazines too
Loved your telling of the history and context of Donegal Airport, gave it that extra interesting edge!
One of your best videos, for sure. Thanks for sharing this trip with us!
This is a good one Paul... Enjoy your "give it as it comes" approach as always...
I'm from Glasgow, but I'm first generation Donegal and my family is actually from the parish the airport is in. I remember the airport before it was an airport. The views are gorgeous and I saw several of my families houses. When they extended the airport, they had to flatten a huge sand dune that was called Hell!
Good accurate and succinct report Paul. Well done!
I love your work so much! Your trip reports are amongst the best! Please upload more frequently
Thank you paul for bringing attention to the airport its grate to see you in ireland keep up the good work
Great video. Your trip reports are really slick, you obviously put a lot of effort into the production of them.
A 140 mile flight, basically up and down you made interesting. The facts on the airport, aircraft, and available services is always interesting and keeps me tuned in. Good job Paul, I enjoy your honest commentary.
Your reviews go from strength to strength Paul - that was a fab review and makes me want to go there!
I did not even know that you could fly from Donegal!! Great video! 👍🏻👍🏻
Love how you do trip reports on small airports and routes people don’t even know about! Keep it up pal! ✈️
Thanks for a well filmed and informative video. You do these reports so well.
Wonderful video...enjoyed it.Thank you for the great content you create.Keep up the good work 👍👍👏.
Great video Paul. So nice to see myself on one of your video's. Keep up the great work... 😀 🇮🇪
This would have been so much better than the 3 and a half hour drive to Letterkenny, Donegal I used to take with my family weekly as a child to visit my granny. Beautiful part of the world mostly untouched by time.
Beautiful video.Thanks.
Hey, Paul, thanks for your videos. I enjoy them very much.
Another great Vid Paul. Thank you for sharing. looking forward to more from your channel. Great to see 132 K subs. Well deserved.
Been Waiting For This!
Thank you so much for making this video.
I drove past the Donegal airport when visiting the Glenveagh National Park last year! Thanks for doing this review!
Very nice Paul. Thank you.
A fabulous fantastic report
Beautiful video Paul
Such beautiful views xx thanks for sharing x
The ATR-42 will always have a special place in my heart. My father flew for Command Airways in the northeast US which was the North American launch customer for the type. The first delivery (N140DD) was the second one built. It was used as a test craft before being delivered to Command in early 1986.
Yes, the approach into this airport is very beautiful.
Brilliant as ever young sir looking forward to seeing more videos
Another great video Paul. Tours, France... Car Parking - Free no matter how long you stay! No surprise that the car park is often nearly full.
The saint's name on our plane was St. Columba, which oddly enough is the old Gaelic name for my husband's family. Its sometimes also known as St. Columbine. My husband's family came from the old Irish tribe of the Malcoombe. So it was quite a coincidence.
Very good trip report Paul!
You were successful Paul, Donegal is on my list now! :) I'm very good about being a visitor, intentionally and in practice, here's hoping the wonderful people of the area will be glad to see me sometime.
What a good idea. The Bog Roll is jammed into the Grabrail because it would roll around on the floor and unroll. Problem occurs when the roll becomes too small to wedge in.
A great video, it has inspired me to go to Donegal and take that flight to Dublin, cheers Paul : )
What a lovely place to land/take off...
This video perfectly demonstrates one of the reasons I love your channel, Paul. You go to the out-of-the-way-never-heard-of airports and tell us all what's it like to fly from (and sometimes to) there.
And so now I've added yet another destination/departure point to my travel list....should I live that long. ;p
Great review Paul.
Love Ireland, such a lovely place
Gorgeous livery! Prettiest aircraft I've seen!
I have to say, you’re by far the best trip reporter out there
Having worked in tunnelling I have bumped into a few people from Donegal and they say it’s remote now I believe them, great work paul 👍
Wonderful video man!
Even on a wet day it looks beautiful in Donegal. Hope to add this to my bucket list of places to see.
Excellent video
Another excellent trip report Paul!! Informative, relaxing and well presented. I love these turboprop vids.
A suggestion for a future trip report is twinjet, especially the Friedrichshafen-Toulouse connection, 90 mins on the noisy beech1900d without toilet!!
Great video!!
Durham tees valley (EGNV/MME) terminal parking is free for 3hours
Nice Vid Paul
Keep it up Paul!
Thanks enjoyed the video
I was in Donegal in March, was a great surprise to see how friendly people are!
You're getting better and better!
Howdy, awesome trip report as always!😸😻😸
These lesser known routes are the ones i find most interesting. First and business class reviews are all a bit samey and out of the reach of most travellers, but this and the Welsh route you did recently are as interesting as any air travel reviews Ive seen.
Hiya. Thanks for that, Paul. I adore Donegal and you've just reminded me it might be time to visit friends again for a few jars of the black stuff. All the best to you.
Wonderful Compilation
Great video
Great video.
Another great video Paul!! Any other first/business class reviews planned?
Reykjavik domestic airport, parked our care there for free for the whole day whilst we did a day trip up to akureyri 😊, great report as always
The first Aer Lingus aircraft was a de havilland dragon named Islor eagle in English ,when it’s service life was over it was eventually hung in the terminal building were it languished for many years until two retired Aer Lingus captains set about making it airworthy again ,I just missed a flight on it by moments as it taxied out to the runway.
All other aircraft were named after saints and the airline is ranked among the safest worldwide
2:23 I want that clock!
Also, an ice-cream called Brunch?
Not a bad landing considering the weather.
This looks like a pleasant little flight!
Amazing video. 👍🏻
It’s a really beautiful part of the world. More people should try it 😁
Donegal is absolutely beautiful, I'm from Dublin but have gone surfing in Bundoran and also to the Rory Gallagher Music Festival in Ballyshannon. I've never flown up though and would be terrified of a prop engine plan lol
Great video as always
Great vlog as always. Looks like the west coast of Norway. Very nice.
Paul,
That part of the "Emerald Isles" must be exceptionally beautiful on sunny days...
Cheers,
Rik Spector
The island of Arronmore, about 15 miles from Donegal Airport, is advertising in the United States and Australia trying to recruit new residents. It is advertising unspoiled beaches, spectacular scenery and high speed internet.
I have taken several flights on Stobart and find them an excellent regional airline. The crew has always been amazing. I have heard some complain about the on-time record, but give me a break - the weather is a major factor flying in the region. The trip from Dublin to the Isle of Man is amazing.
Had to fly into Donegal a few years ago for work. Incredible cross winds when landing most of the time. I agree about the views though.
Lancaster, PA (airport about 90 minutes from Baltimore, MD) has Free parking. That airport only has four or five commercial flights a day (two to Baltimore and two to Pittsburgh, PA). For being the busiest Metro DC airport, Baltimore-Washington International airport offers off site parking at $4 USD a day. That is simialr to what Donegal Airport offers. It is a Southwest focus city, so it is a Low cost hub for the region.
Hi Paul, great video as per usual! Would be super if you could do a video on the new MAN-TLV route with EL AL. No one else has done it yet and would make for a really interesting experience!
Nice to see you in Ireland paul
That sound of the turboprops
Been waiting for this video since you put it on Instagram
Granada airport (GRX) is also a joy to use with great scenery and less likely to have fog/cloud on the ground.
Like the look of this aiport. Small, personal and functional.
I believe Lourdes Airport in the south of France has free parking. My husbands aunt keeps her car there when they fly back to Standsted Airport.
Great trip report! I haven’t flown on a turbo prop yet, but hopefully that will change soon. I hope you will fly Flybe (op. By stobart air as well) once from London Southend to Groningen. Groningen is a little city in the north of the Netherlands and is definitly worth visiting. Groningen airport is a little airport with just a few charters but has daily flights to London and Copenhagen (AIS Airlines Bae 32 (one way €99)). Hopefully in the future you will try it once😁
I think you'd be interested in some of the US Essential Air Service (EAS) routes. Particularly in the state of Alaska. The vast majority of the towns and cities in the arctic and western sections of the state have no road, rail, or water connections at all. Everything must come in via air.
Thanks for the history lesson about the decapitation of the head - wasn't quite expecting that - LOL
Stunning! ☘️
stunning part of the world and the golf wow
I love Donegal.....I used to live in Donegal Town and even daringly skinny dipped in the Atlantic at Glencolumbkille beach in December ha ha
You should make a video of Donegal new airport in Sligo!
I used to always took the Eirann bus to Dublin....and always got very car sick at the stretch around Enniskillen, just around the lake .....all those turns and ups and downs ha ha......
Very modern looking, wasn't expecting that from an ATR on the inside.
As always, Paul!!!!
My mum is from Donegal and it really is beautiful, she is on the coast glencolumbkille And spent all my childhood holidays there 👍
I think parking @ YYT St. John's International (Canada) is cheaper than Donegal. ATR's of any description are rare in Canada but flying to St. Pierre (France) from Newfoundland they use the ATR 42 which looks like a school bus with wings. They also fly ATR 42's out of Edmonton to the Arctic. The background you provided to the Donegal experience was very well done. Cheers.
Hi Paul. I live on the Isles of Scilly, and parking at At Mary's airport is free. Flights to the mainland are operated by Skybus on Twin Otters to Lands End or Newquay, also summer flights go to Exeter. They are probably the dearest cost per mile in the world!
I'd love to see you do a trip report to the Scillies.
Hi Paul - being Irish in Manchester U.K. myself, I’m delighted to see that you got to visit and enjoy County Donegal, a beautiful part of Ireland, that along with Northern Ireland, has a strong connection with Scotland and especially the Scottish Isles - flying into Carrickfin is a much better alternative than going by coach from Dublin via Ballyshannon into Donegal Town, (a horrible 5 hours ordeal that is not recommended from my own personal experience) or from Letterkenny to Dublin - the other way to reach Donegal is to get the train from Dublin Connolly to Sligo and get a Bus Éireann/Transport for Ireland coach to Donegal Town 🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪❤️❤️❤️❤️
thanks for the local plug for our airport paul although sorry to say i've never used it
Valencia Castellón has free parking, and My last flight was €5 euros to STN. 👍🏻
I love listening to engines warm up when on a plane
Paul, after seeing one of your Instagram Q&A’s, are your from Ireland / have Irish connections? Another great video 👍
