Your post made me think of something. I am a therapist and I belong to the Canadian Counseling psychotherapy association because it's amazing. I was at my very first CCPA conference in New Brunswick a few years ago and everybody knew I was American. When I sat down at the table, somebody from Alberta said, "now we're going to be sitting here with people from Newfoundland. Don't call them newfies, whatever you do. They are newfoundlanders!" 😊
I have just returned from a P&O cruise on Aurora just over a week ago and our stop in St.Johns staying overnight visited one of the pubs and what a lovely friendly people you are❤
@pinkmagiclala I'm taking a trip up to Quebec as well as Newfoundland.. Any points of interest you can direct me to in Newfoundland? I want to see some cliffs. The landscape looks incredible. Also I scrolled one of your playlists and seen some keeping up appearances vids.. that's one of my all time favorite shows. Good taste.
Funny enough for a lot of people that live that far in eastern Canada if they want to see a concert, the flights are cheaper to London or Dublin than they were to Toronto or Montreal. Not sure if that’s still the same.
I just paid $750 for a first, one way flight on the east coast of the US …. It’s a demand issue. If you catch a flight they’ve just put on a route you’ll get great prices until it starts to fill up.
Canada is a bit famous among developed countries for having poor internal trade between its own internal subdivisions. It's easier to trade with the US or UK / IE / coastal EU in many cases than with the other provinces.
Scottish TH-camr Steve Marsh recently did several videos of this flight and visits to the Gander airport museum (of 9/11 fame) and St. John's. He found the people there to be super friendly, giving lots of help and free rides.
Years ago when I was 18 I flew to North America for the first time from Prestwick to Halifax, but the plane stopped at Gander - and I think that would have been even shorter. I fell in love with long distance travel that day. Thanks again for your consistently interesting and amusing work.
My first ever flight (in March 1983, when I was 12 years old) was Gatwick to Newark via Gander, where we stopped to refuel the plane. I think it's fair to say that there's not a lot going on in Gander!
Flew Newark to Dublin last year… flight time was 4.5 hours! We arrived almost 2 hours early cause of the tail wind… fastest Europe flight I have ever been on.
Key distinction: It's "St John's", not Saint John's. There's another city in Eastern Canada, Saint John (where I'm from) in New Brunswick that's often confused with St. John's. The difference is the New Brunswick city spells out the "Saint" word and the Newfoundland city has the apostrophe and 's' at the end of "John." Unfortunately these two cities are often confused so some people think I'm from Newfoundland when I'm not and people from Newfoundland are sometimes mistaken to be from New Brunswick!
@@dehavillandcanadatwinotter9621 It's quite literally called ''Saint John's'' for me on google maps lol. Not saying you aren't right, but if you are right that means Dutch google is wrong.
Love Sunday videos especially when they feature St John’s NL, my favorite city. Newfoundlanders are friendly, very welcoming and the island is beautiful. Enjoy what time you have there!
I'm living in St. John's and taking this flight in a couple of days so it was great to see this video and know what to expect! This route was in operation for 2016 and 2017 but was cancelled for 2018. I think it's now back on a 3-year seasonal schedule. A bit controversial for some as it was put back on after taxpayer dollars were given to the airport to entice operators and new flights but I'm glad it's here and going to take advantage. Hope your next flight video is somewhere up to Labrador!
Geography nerd here. There are actually shorter transatlantic flights, e.g. the 4 h 40 minutes from Copenhagen to Kangerlussuaq on Greenland (which, as am I sure you know, is in North America). So I think you know what you need to do! 😃
Noticed a couple of Transat planes at Gatwick. We've flown Manchester to Canada (Toronto) on Transat a couple of times - it's a real no-frills experience with really tight legroom. You wouldn't want a much longer trip! Glad you got more legroom.
Trans-Atlantic flights are generally quicker heading the other way, flying east with the winds. We did Halifax to Dublin on ASL some years ago, and it was 4 hours and some minutes going east. But the Return leg, west into the wind, was 5 hours and some minutes. These flight durations are conveniently short and very easy flights. Incredible to skip the horrible backtrack to Toronto or Montreal, just incredible.
I love how the low-cost airlines find niche point to point routes and drive traffic. Rather that Canadians in that part of Canada always going to Toronto, Montreal and NYC they might as well fly to London.
I used my Priority Pass at Edinburgh this summer. No issues. It is a trip to me that Greenland is part of Europe. It is basically north of where you are in Canada.
Great video Noel, don't let the haters get you down. They're simply jealous of your success, they don't have to watch or subscribe if they don't like what you do, there's plenty of online options but every Sunday evening I'll watch your videos. As a frequent traveller myself I hope to come across you somewhere in the World.
I have just returned from a P&O cruise on the Aurora and our 1st port of call was St.Johns after 4 days from Southampton. The entry into St Johns by ship is very narrow and visited on a tourSignal hill which was in mist and onto Cape Spear where the mist cleared.
As a Newfoundlander, an avgeek and a fan of your videos I was so happy to see this come up in my feed. I hope you enjoyed your visit and you come back again!
I gave you the challenge to see if you can do a round the world flight using only 5 hour sectors at a time. You're getting there.Please keep doing these little hops.
Great video, Noel. I only live about 5 miles from Gatwick and always get a bit excited when someone videos it! Hope you enjoyed your time in Newfoundland - that’s a place I’d love to visit!
Yup! I just checked in Google Earth, and it's not even close: 2,328 miles St. John-London 3,110 miles St. John-Vancouver 3110 gets you from St J to Talinn, Estonia, or not quite to Warsaw and Rome!
I personally think Air Greenlands Copenhagen route is the shortest transatlantic flight at just 4:30. It on the North American continent but geopolitically part of Europe
I am so disappointed people would write in online negative points about your videos. Don't bother with them there just jealous. Your videos are fantastic and thank you for all your hard work along the way. Please keep them coming, you are greatly appreciated. I work for a US Airline and I absolutely love your videos. By the way your videos are better than Josh Cahill's videos LOL
There will soon be a NEW shortest trans Atlantic flight that you might want to try out. Next summer, WestJet is adding a new St. John's to Dublin route which probably will end up being about a 3.5 hour flight
Isn't Newfoundland just great. I was born there. A long time ago. I've also live in England and Hawaii twice. Lots of Islands. I'm in Texas now. It's mostly warm and sunny. I hope you had a nice flight. Thanks for sharing.
Cool video! I did a UK/Ireland vacation this past summer flying YHZ-LGW and DUB-YHZ on WestJet. A bit longer than this flight but still if you blink you’ll miss that you’ve crossed the pond. A nice perk of living on the East Coast! Hopefully on a future trip you’ll have the opportunity to spend some time in Newfoundland. It’s beautiful and the people are among the friendliest in the world. I feel like it’s the closest you can come to visiting Ireland without leaving North America.
Noel, as an aviation aficionado you cannot go to St. John’s Newfoundland without paying homage to the Alcock and Brown memorial downtown. One of the high points of any layover there.
I had an excellent experience flying premium economy with westjet. The staff were absolutely lovely and incredibly helpful, especially when I had a nosebleed on landing. I can’t remember the gentleman’s name but he was absolutely incredible for the whole flight
10:24 I’m here for the aviation but two of my favorite videos are your 5 State road trip around New England, and trek across Iceland👍 old videos are great for rewatching. I also find that Noel driving is cars actually entertaining as well so I’d watch “Drive with Noel Philips” even if it’s on your way to the airport 😅 especially on a scenic route or in a interesting vehicle 🚙🚓🚒🚞🚠 I wanted to see more of your Porsche in the previous video 🚦🏎️🛞
I love this video, Noel! The Maritime provinces are some of my favorite places in North America. I went to a conference a few years ago in New Brunswick and the people were so friendly I didn't want to leave. I love how your videos are just as accessible, whether you're traveling in places many of us will never go to, or it's a place that's completely within our reach. I think you give a lot of people the confidence they need to travel, and that's an amazing thing because this world is so big and beautiful it deserves to be seen! Also, as somebody else said, thank you for being so transparent about mental health. I am a counseling professor and I think it's so wonderful that you normalize mental health and empowering people to make sure their therapist is right for them.
For those who do not have little zipper bags from flying business class, because we fly coach, ziplock baggies work. They are cheap and clear and perfect for little bits and bobs - like Q-tips, nail clippers, cords for your electronics, etc.
Hope you enjoyed St. John’s. The airport is small but we have some great people here in Newfoundland. It’s not easy to get lost or not find your gate here. 😊
Very nice what you've done and how the Lord has blessed you. May you continue to be blessed Noel all the way through. I hope to meet you one day. Maybe, when I'm in Houston in December. Take care.
There's a transatlantic flight from Basel (Switzerland) to Montreal with the Airbus321LR operated by Air Transat, flight time 8h. I was picking up my mom from the airport in Basel and was so surprised that there was a transatlantic flight from there. Normally you would only find flights within Europe. So that could be a video idea but maybe it's just interesting to me.
WestJet used operate a B737-700 on the YYT - DUB route. That service was suspended because of 'Covid', and when it returned, it was rerouted as a B737-MAX service between YHZ and DUB. From recollection [ I did fly this route ], the YYT - DUB sector [ tailwind-assisted ] was under 4hrs in duration.
Yes, I flew same plane, from Dublin to Toronto, its a tiny plane, hop across the Atlantic from this region is short, couple of hours, but good portion of last couple of hours of flight is flying over NL, Quebec, bit of Onatrio, to finally reach Toronto, Canada is so big. I love it, and i love the westjet dreamliner (used it couple of times flying back to dublin from calgary)
I was always curious about the Westjet short flights to St. Johns. A few years ago while in Dublin, I noticed a Westjet 737-700 in one of the gates and was surprised to see a -700 being used for Trans-Atlantic flight. Thanks for sharing.
I remember connecting via deer lake coming back from the UK one winter when I was 14. Smallest boarder crossing I’ve seen since lol. I would love to go back and visit.
16:10 That customs corridor with moveable black out screens has me in stitches. Looks like a garment fitting room at Hudson's Bay store. International flights are an afterthought I suppose.
Thank you for doing this- I've thought of flying back to Canada in May from the Chelsea Flower Show with this stop , then onto Halifax to catch up with some old friends I haven't seen in several years. Take the Train to Montreal as well- beats going over the pole- Here's a quirky flight idea- For us out of Penticton to fly on Westjet to Vancouver we fly twice over the Rocky mountains ! I'm doing the trip shortly for $100 CDN on sale. Cheers Gerry
In 2008 i took a flight from Gatwick to Halifax, Nova Scotia. at that point the shortest transatlantic flight. with 'Canadian Affair' a low cost carrier using thomas cook and condor planes when required. the flight was 4hrs30m...and a lovely british couple in my row drove me in to central halifax to save me the hassle of taking the bus.
Shorter than Brisbane to Perth. A flight I used to do weekly which I'm glad I no longer do. I do miss the free Qantas frequent flyer points I got though
This is current shortest route. Westjet used to fly Dublin to St John’s which would’ve been 30-45 mins shorter. I think this might be equivalent in distance to the canaries from Dublin so most narrow bodies can fly it.
You should try to fly to Gander in Newfoundland. It's where the air traffic control for the western havl of the transatlantic route is located! Cool old school airport with 1950s vibes

Take the Train to Montreal as well- beats going over the pole- Here's a quirky flight idea- For us out of Penticton to fly on Westjet to Vancouver we fly twice over the Rocky mountains ! I'm doing the trip shortly for $100 CDN on sale. Cheers Gerry
Always nice to have you back in Canada
Last night i booked my holiday with Tui from Birmingham to Cancun! Im so so excited. Ill be flying on Tuis Boeing 787
In 2008 i took a flight from Gatwick to Halifax, Nova Scotia. at that point the shortest transatlantic flight. with 'Canadian Affair' a low cost carrier using thomas cook and condor planes when required. the flight was 4hrs30m...and a lovely british couple in my row drove me in to central halifax to save me the hassle of taking the bus.
Hey noel Phillips I'm coming to Houston texas today and I'm going to Seattle
As someone who lives in St.John’s I hope you had a great time here!!
Superdry definitely needs to sponsor your channel, Noel.
As always, super video 👊
Gander next? Hope you enjoyed Newfoundland and Labrador! 😃
Literally watching this 1 minute after release, great!

Shorter than Brisbane to Perth. A flight I used to do weekly which I'm glad I no longer do. I do miss the free Qantas frequent flyer points I got though
This is current shortest route. Westjet used to fly Dublin to St John’s which would’ve been 30-45 mins shorter.
I think this might be equivalent in distance to the canaries from Dublin so most narrow bodies can fly it.
You should try to fly to Gander in Newfoundland. It's where the air traffic control for the western havl of the transatlantic route is located! Cool old school airport with 1950s vibes
This was awesome trip. Under 5 hours transatlantic flight from London. Incredible journey. Definitely can’t be beat. Much love Noel ❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it!

A few years ago I took WestJet from St.John's to Dublin. Was about 4 hours. It looks like they don't run that one anymore. Too bad.
Welcome to Canada. I prefer Air Canada, but West Jet is 2nd. Although Porter Airlines is picking up the competition!
