These quirky flights are so much more entertaining than business class reviews. Nice one.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Agreed!
@@noelphilips try flying from London City to Humberside Airport. Quirky isn’t the word! I flew it via KLM and via Amsterdam!
haha I do agree however the business class reviews are still very enjoyable :)
@@lawrencenicholasabbott3152 quick Google search shows its 907 miles
Love how the passengers next to Noel took a picture of him as he was talking about his route.
That was a pilot ! 😂
Wander if the pilot taking the photo of Noel is a fan of the channel?
Noel Phillips fan on board!
Was just thinking that
what about that business traveller on the second leg wondering what that weird dude in front of him was doing
As a Brit in living in the US, it's nice to see they are still making the Caramel Wafer biscuits. I haven't had one of those for 18 years! So chewy and delicious.
I miss so many British snacks. Mmm. Twiglets.
It's something like the 2nd top selling biscuit bar in Britain. Still a huge brand
Hello Noel. My late hubby was an air traffic controller at Sumburgh before his transfer to Manchester airport. My brother was a air opps manager, also at sumburgh. I spent many flights up and down, mostly from Aberdeen airport. Lovely memories.
He may have help the choppers i used to take from aberdeen on my way to sullom voe gas plant.
I'm originally from Shetland. Love seeing these flights, grew up taking them every week for work to Edinburgh!
5:27 ...Noel is so super famous, the crew for the next leg grab a picture of him 🤣
I love Loganair. By far the best regional airline I've flown on. Their crews are universally lovely.
As an ATR 76 F/O I enjoyed this episode thoroughly, as for the loo i'be been flying ATR for almost 4 years now and never have i done no.2 on an ATR , too claustrophobic, always held it in for a proper toilet lol.
I flew into Newquay Airport several times in one day in the mid 1970's when it was still RAF St Mawgan.
On that occasion it was in a BOAC Boeing 707. The TV presenter Hughie Green used to arrange "Opportunity Flights" for Air Cadets, we'd get a ride in a BOAC or BEA training flight to either RAF St Mawgan or RAE Bedford.
Our ATC Squadron was based in Ealing (West London) and I lived in Chiswick and could get to Heathrow in about 35 to 45 minutes on my push bike. We had to report to BOAC engineering at about 5 am and then get briefed with the crew. We took off at about 7 am flew to Cornwall and then spent the day doing circuits and landings or go arounds at St Mawgan returning to Heathrow for about 7:30 pm, loads of hours in my ATC log book.
St Mawgan was interesting at that time as it was a main Nimrod base so there were Nimrods dispersed all around the airfield and a few Jetstreams.
In my tour at St Mawgan we used to put ATC cadets on Nimrods for air experience. One day the only possible flight was a boring 7 hour Tapestry fishery patrol over the North Sea, and I identified three cadets who happily went off on it. Towards the end of this flight the aircraft was diverted to an SAR task over the North Sea looking for a missing vessel. So they flew to PLE (practical limit of endurance) which was almost 10 hours, landing at Waddington where they overnighted. The next day they took off and did a further 9.5 hours on the same task (unsuccessfully), lannding back at St Mawgan having flown over 19 hours in two days!😂
Nice story !
342 Sqn ?
I was wondering why it is a 5 hour flight when you can get to the Mediterranean in 3 hours, but then I saw the map and that you have two stops on the way.
Also, I love it when propellers sync up with the frame rate, so satisfying.
I agree, it’s cool to see.
Also prop planes are slower than jet planes I think. For example, on a jet it's 1 hour 20 mins from London to Aberdeen of Inverness, whereas that Logainair prop plane took 1 h 20 mins from MAN to ABZ
@@activetraveladvocate they still use prop planes?????
@@saini1976 I suspect they're dying out however. Aircraft like the Embraer EMB-190 - small twinjets - are likely to take over the regional passenger market. Though props give better take-off performance hence the A400M freighter.
@@activetraveladvocate You're completely right. Prop planes are much slower than jets!
Im 65 and have been eating Tunnocks Caramels ( and Teacakes) since a teenagers and i totally agree with you, they are the best. I also understand they are also the same size as when they first made them! …and ive lived in Canada all my life! Love your videos, very entertaining and full of info.
They have them at my local supermarket in Sydney, Australia. As well as other UK stuff like Jelly Tots, Twiglits, Bisto gravy etc.
I love when the propellers are so fast the cameras frame rate can’t keep up. Always find that so interesting
Even when they are so fast, if the propeller turns at a multiple of 60 per second, it will appear stationary on camera
@Maddog On Blitz No it is not an optical illusion. It's rolling shutter. The definition of an optical illusion is: something that decieves the eye by appearing other than it is.
You're BOTH wrong Maddog & Benendek. Everybody knows that props hardly ever actually have to turn when in British air due to the air being superior to that cheap nasty stuff the other side of the pond and to the hordes across the channel.
To assert anything else is just pure madness
@@hrishiv It actually bugs me bit - I'm surprised that modern digital cameras/devices don't readily allow increasing exposure time and hence motion-blur to prevent 'strobing' like this (then again, maybe they do and they're hidden in settings somewhere). Notice that near the end in low light the camera automatically increases exposure time and the blades are indeed just a blur. Cinematographers learn to do this to avoid strobing and also judder in smooth, constant motion shots (like pans) which can otherwise look like a fast slide-show.
@@EliteRock Most digital cameras do have settings that most people either do knot know about or do not use, sometimes they are hidden in the software by the manufacurer. Most people prefer a crisp clean picture over motion blur, and unknowingly sacrifice a lot for it.
When I lived in Shetland in the mid-1970s to mid-1980s I used to fly in and out of Sumburgh, sometimes to Aberdeen, sometimes to Edinburgh. Flights were operated by BA then - Viscounts and then ATPs; Loganair flew a route from EDI to Tingwall, a small airstrip further north in Shetland, with a Twin Otter. Loganair also flew the inter-islands routes within Shetland and provided the air ambulance service with Britten-Norman Islanders. No route in those days from Newquay, so it was most interesting to see the flight from your perspective, Noel.
First plane I ever flew in was a Vickers Viscount. LHR to Jersey. Late sixties, I guess.
I can't imagine many (if any) people make the trip in its entirety....
Beautiful Sunset at Aberdeen!!! Seemed like a great flight. The best seats are to be forward of the props, nice and quiet!!!
Nice 5 second feature of me loading the bags for the Aberdeen leg! Hope to see you in manchester soon! FYI tunnocks caramel bars are elite snackage 🤘😎✈️
Out of all the aviation TH-camrs Noel videos are simply the best.
Fun flight and fun video! My trip to the Shetland Islands took a lot longer and lasted just five hours. I sailed there aboard a tanker from New York in 1985. The ship unloaded the cargo, refueled and made the voyage back to the US (to Texas). I spent the few hours there at a pub. The round trip took a month. A five-hour flight on an ATR sounds more exciting, but I did enjoy spending a lot of time on the ship bridge and chilling with the crew.
Loganair crew always seems so homely and friendly compared to the big commercial airlines 😁
Mostly from the north of Scotland. Everyone’s like that up there. 😀
@@grahamlive very true!
@@no_soy_rubio Who asked you about loganair ?
@@gauravshakergayen3748 he was just agreeing
Loved this Noel. Just come back from my first ever trip to Scotland and stayed in Fort William, loved it. Flew Easyjet from BHX to GLA, sadly to say not a great experience of BHX with the security delays, all flights the day we went were delayed. EJ and Scott Rail great. Can't wait to return. More of these lovely quirky flights please 😊
scotrail are terrible now, so so expensive, I (as a student) am forced to take the bus since the train is too expensive
The mention of Sumburgh brought me back. Used to work in the oil industry. Quite often got a flight up to Aberdeen and then another to Sumburgh whereupon we'd get a chopper to the rigs. Could be these are the longest domestic flights if you count the helicopter leg.
I used to work for Scotia, I built the flight operations system while based in Stavanger with Helikoper Service
Hey Noel, when the ATR landed at Manchester, it's indeed an irony that the stopover was just in an airport just near your home of Mansfield, and if I were you, I'd be thinking that "I wish that I was home instead of being here for a stopover!" Anyway, I wouldn't mind being on an ATR for a 5 hour domestic flight, and at least that it'd be better for me rather than cruising on a ship or taking a road trip which would both otherwise take one day.
It definitely made a nice difference knowing within 24 hours I'd be home! The hardest part on this trip was the day before saying goodbye to Rachel who had come to Manchester with me. Thankfully it was just a quick trip before my next adventure that you'll see next week :)
@@noelphilips You don't have such a tough life mate.
Be happy , love , like, forgive and don't drink too much beer.
Love you're channel and you're cheeky smile and great soh.
Noel you live in Mansfield? ,y sis in law and niece live there… my sis in laws name is Judith Dewsnup she lives w her partner nick (forgetting his last name right now) I’ve only visited once from sc
@@SimplyCheryl you realise not everyone in the UK knows each other?
@@adameaton2648 yes I know that but ny sis in law and her husband are very prominent people especially when it comes to spotting
Wow, who in the world flies from Cornwall to the Shetland Islands?! and OMG #2....all that way on a ATR-72...no thank you...you are brave Noel!
shetlanders who live in cornwall
This flight is basically several different shorter flights joined into one. Most passengers only go part of the way, either leaving or joining, or both, at an intermediate stop.
Shetland has a large oil terminal at Sullum Voe plus a fair bit of shipping going on. I would not be surprised if some passengers were travelling for work in those areas.
People on the Shetland Islands may be saying as well: What the heck shall I do in Cornwall?
@@hannofranz7973 - Get warm?
Nice touch of tartan on the headrests and the Loganair crew enjoying having you on their flight, Noel! Great video, great conceit to do this 'long haul' within the UK.
Glad you enjoyed it
It's nice to see that even after so many years and so much growth in subscriber growth you still haven't lost touch to what makes your channel great, quirky flights like this or the challenges made such an interesting variety that's really more entertaining than seeing luxurious long haul seats over and over again.
Also the camera's shutter speed match the rotation of the propeller blades didn't it on that take off? Thought you went to Narnia or something with it magically taking off with no propeller rotation lol
I did smile at the star struck flight crew in the seats across from you Noel!! She took a photo of you filming,
Bless! Probably a fan, I likely would do the same but I’d also pop over & say hello too! X
Could bin look at this weirdo, looked like it was she was laughing through her mask not saying Noel is a weirdo just usually how people look at people filming themselves
Hey Noel, I fly from Newquay at least once a week as I’m doing my PPL here before moving on to Bristol ground school for ATPL exams it’s a lovely place to fly in and out of and to then fly around Cornwall, it’s amazing!!
Sounds like a lovely place to do your hours building, good luck with your ATPL’s!
Flew into Newquay recently with work. On approach we asked if there might be any pasties available for the crew. Landed and dispatcher was there with three of the finest. A nice treat for the last leg back to Faro on what had been a long day. Epic views on the approach too!!!!
Done the Glasgow to Stornoway last tuesday with Loganair, great 40 mins flight, and lovely cup of tea or coffee or water with a snack included on their Embraer 145 Jets, really smooth and beats the 10 hours drive and ferry to the lovely Isle of Lewis, fanastic sights out of the window.
What was the price? I'm in Glasgow, and have wanted to go to Stornoway for some time.
It’s defo not a great flight, that wee plane seems like it’s gonna fall out the sky with the tiniest bit of turbulence 😂
Great video, thanks. £5 meal voucher for a two-hour delay's not bad. Last time we picked up a delay it was 4 hours at Zurich waiting for a Swiss A220 flight to London City having had to return to the airport after taking off due to cabin pressure problems (ended up at LHR - long story). The only food they would let us have was a very mediocre cheese sandwich and a small bottle of water (and a very surly cafe waiter) - not impressed by Swiss.
Logan Air, wow. When I was in the RAF at RAF Machrihanish in 1983 the Logan Air (locally known as Logey Bear) used to arrive at 1530hrs every day from Glasgow. I remember having to go out in the 'Rover' and take the chains off from the taxiway which crossed the local road. Used to stay there and stop the traffic until it went past. I remember it being a tiny aircraft and once I got to sit in the right hand seat as there was no room in the back on one trip back to Glasgow. Memories.
See 5:37 for travelling flight crew getting a fan pic haha. The only thing you could have done added to that great adventure would have been a flight with Skybus from St Mary’s on the Isles of Scilly to Lands End Airport as your first leg. That would certainly been the furthest south to the furthest north.
That was funny.
He's got fans!!
Isn't Jersey further south?
@@racelox It’s a Crown Dependency, and not a part of the UK
@@hoof2001 I'm flying there and it's classed as a domestic flight by easyJet, hence me not needing a passport.
13:30 very nice cockpit visit
I do like the ATR’s. As you say they are quiet for a turboprop.
Another enjoyable trip report Noel. I love the individual designs of the Loganair headrests.
Many thanks!
Coffee, waffles, and another great Noel Phillips video on this Sunday morning. Love the ATR72. Travel safe Noel!
Noel does tend to waffle on about his wafers!
Back in the ‘60s I spent a fortnight’s holiday in a caravan site adjacent to RAF St Mawgan, now Newquay Airport.
We were shaken awake several times a night by Shackletons taking off and landing.
Snap but in the 70's, 80's and 90's! Back when the nimrods were based there, Airshow every year and the Tornados practiced their bump and runs!!
Still go down there annually. Love watching the aircraft come in and out over Mawgan Porth!
Can't go wrong with Tunnock's. I even like the gold and red wrapper. And the teacakes remind me of christmas tea as we always had them after our trifle. (you can eat a surprising number before feeling nauseous).
How many.....?
@@habu179 6
@@kevvywevvywoo Ha ha.....
The last time I flew from Newquay it was still operated by the RAF. Was a lovely relaxed vibe to it then :-)
I love the noise a turboprop makes when it takes off. And yes, a Tunnocks caramel log is delicious 😋
I was thinking that Tunnocks Teacakes should be offered instead as an option to the Caramel. Both yummy!
Nope, should've been scones, jam and clotted cream. A nod to the departure Duchy!
@@71JediKnight #jamfirst
TT was exactly what I was thinking! 😂
Tunnocks Teacakes are indeed awesome but I think they would be a bit impractical on an aircraft, not to mention far more messy!
I remember when the HKG flight was the longest domestic flight!
5:31 Lol @ the airline staff taking a photo of you! That made me laugh.
Noel, thanks for pointing out how quiet this aircraft actually is! Already the -500s aren't that bad, but the efficiency of the noise and vibration cancelling system on the -600 Series baffles me every time I sit on one of these birds. Farther back in the cabin, away from the props, it is even more quiet, beating even many jet in my opinion. In fact I'd say this is probably the most comfortable shorthaul/regional aircraft out there.
Haha you obviously haven't been on an A220 yet! It's a dream!
@@elliott7268 Eeeh, well 4 segments to date on the 220 is not that much, but those include the very, very very first one ever possible, LX836 ZRH-CDG on 17JUL2016. Beat that😎
But Willy waving aside, you're totally right, that's a really great aircraft, definitively the best in its class by a big margin! Only thing I have to complain about, is that it has middle seats on one side of the aisle🤷♂️🙈
Loved this Noel and would really like to try this route for sure. This was one of your best this year to date in my opinion 😉
Thank you for your kind words.
Trivia: to my knowledge, the longest domestic flight ever was a Quantas 747 charter flight from Perth, AU to Perth, AU, and was roughly 17 hours, as the plane flew down to Antarctica for an eclipse that occurred in 2003.
Qantas^•
I think that yes, there was such a flight from Perth AU to Perth AU, but it was not a regular scheduled flight - eclipses occurring in the same place on earth on average every 375. I presume this fascinating flight - Newquay to Sumburgh is a regular scheduled flight: the correct measure for judging like with like.
It survived by avoiding Kiwi route-mappers!
@@trevorsmith7753 don't forget it was white out conditions and flying low to sight see - low even by their own sightseeing standards. and the above flight was 2003.
@@trevorsmith7753 probably for the best. It’s those sudden mountains that tend to ruin flights.
I love the ATR series of aircraft, such wonderful little planes that do such vital work!
I flew with Loganair from Glasgow to Southampton about a month ago. They were very good. All my previous experience on that route was from a few years ago with "FlyMaybe" and I was expecting a nightmare (It was so bad I was travelling for work weekly and I decided to just get a train home at the end of each week. Got home hours before my colleagues despite having to leave only half an hour earlier for the train!). I was pleasantly surprised!
Well Noel you certainly have a fan club. Great that aircrew can be interested in taking your pic.
Like seeing these unusual domestic routes, gives me ideas!
Love the ATR. I’d enjoy that flight for sure!
This popped up randomly on my TH-cam and I am glad it did! Great video of a quirky UK Domestic Flight, and one I would like to have a go at myself when I get the time. A very entertaining and informative video, I have subscribed and hit the bell!
Five layers of wafer, four layers of caramel covered in milk chocolate and on a milk run up north, sounds pretty good to me. You actually ended up having 15 layers of wafer and 12 layers of caramel
The ATR72-600 does feel quiet, comparable to a jet engine plane. 1 thing for sure, I did not like when it encounter turbulence 😅
The landing and takeoff are great bits can't FF them!
Noel is killing it love the variety
Then we can discuss definitions:
Is it a single flight, just because there is a single flight number for å 3-leg trip?
Should you count flight time as total travel time, or should you exclude time parked during disembarking and boarding for other passengers, and refueling?
If it's just stopover for refueling, I tend more towards calling it single flight, but I think this is more to be considered as 3 flights.
The single flight number, and skipping disembarking and boarding again; I think that's more about convenience and doing things faster.
Now I'm considering whether my bus journey into town is in fact 9 bus trips because the bus stops to let passengers on and off nine times :)
@@stevemichael8458 I see you point, but I still think it is stretching the truth to call a multi lig plane trip a single flight, just because you get a single flight number on your itinerary, and don't leave the plane.
If you ask the pilot, I guess they would say it is three flights, because they make individual plans for them, different load from passengers and luggage, new fuel calculations.
@@thorbjrnhellehaven5766 I would personally define it as a single flight of 3:05 hours, as that's the time you are flying i.e 'flight'. I consider flights with stopovers or drop-offs as a single flight if I don't get off the plane, just like I would on a bus or train etc.
@@dannymad26 from a passenger perspectove, multi flight aviation routes are very much like a single flight.
With a multi flight route; A-B-C-D; you have each flight A-B, B-C, C-D; as well as multi flight routes A-C, A-D and B-D.
It sure is more relaxing to do multi fligt rotes, than it would be to disembark and board multiple times (been there done that. I had to disembark and walk back and forth maybe 1000 m, just to board the same plane at the same gate, but from the international departure terminal, while we disemparked to the domestic arrival) .
This is just a discussion on definition of terminology. I have no strong opinions about either. My initial comment was merely to poit out that there are arguments against your definition, not necessarily trying to win the argument.
In the airline industry, the definition of a "flight" is a single aircraft traversing a route with any number of stops, each of which is "short", just long enough to drop off and pick up passengers. The journey between any take-off and the landing which follows is a "sector" or "leg". Noel's trip was a single flight of 3 legs. Flight numbers are irrelevant because they are arbitrary, especially when codeshares are involved.
The term "flight" applies only to aircraft. Passengers do not make flights, they follow "itineraries"; an itinerary is very similar to a flight but the stops do not have to be short, and you can change plane at any of the stops. An itinerary usually ends when the passenger leaves the airport, but some airlines incorrectly define an itinerary as everything that is on a single booking.
Living here in Australia a five hour flight to Perth from the east coast in my case from Brisbane .is not unusual sometimes it's a bit faster . I did not think it would take that long to get from one end of the UK to the other .
I live in England & I thought max 2 hours by plane to get anywhere in the UK.
This does surprise me.
@@carouselcakes6237 it should be 2 hours max. It's all the messing about the flight does. Understandable though because there can't be much demand for a Cornwall - Shetlands route.
Yeah, it's because it stops several times along the way. I imagine a direct flight between Cornwall and Shetland (which is never going to happen) would take maybe three hours max.
Thanks Noel
, your flight reviews are always enjoyable
Glad you like them!
Hi Noel I have loved the tunnocks caramel bar since i was a kid in the 70's (i am 60 now) about a month or two i use to get a packet of tunnocks i went shopping, even my kids (when they was young use to say "Dad dont forget your tunnocks" he he
Caramel wafer, Caramel logs and Tunnocks tea cakes. All great 🏴
If you're going to keep it domestic/British/UK, please do a Gibraltar run and go fight with the monkeys there, and maybe a Falkland Island run with penguins! That would be epic.

i love ATRs….in Malaysia, we had them to replaced the old Fokker F50…..n our MAS Wings/Fireflys (both under Malaysia Airlines) has Business Class seats (8 seats, but for 4 passengers only. each passenger have 2 seats for themselves) n its located right at the back near the entrance door (basically the last 2 rows)…
Love Tunnoks especially their tea cakes. Glorious!
Obviously your flight on Loganair was a far pleasanter experience than that of fellow vlogger Steve Marsh with Eastern Airways between Aberdeen and Wick.
No such word as ‘pleasanter.’ ‘More pleasant’ would be more correct. BTW, I am a Chief Inspector in the Grammar Police! 👮🏻♂️😉
You forgot to mention that you were on the UK's longest domestic flight Noel.
The ATR 72 toilet looks a lot smaller than on the Dash 8!
I see that the sink does not work and that there are sanitising wipes in there instead. I believe that has to do with the winterisation of the aircraft, so removing the running water to the sink reduces the risk of freezing the water lines. At least this is what Dash 8 operators do in Canada in winter and I think the procedure is similar for the ATR.
I love the crew's accents when you first board, and there are obviously some sort of crew over your shoulder (and photographing you) while on way to Manchester!
I prefer it when you end the video in the accommodation you're staying at. Longer the video the better
Should've taken the ferry back from Shetland, would've been a good review!
Another excellent video Noel. Almost a complete cabin to yourself and drip fed Tunnocks wafers for the whole flight, you live like a king sir!
Thanks for sharing, I didn't know we could have such a long domestic flight withing the UK
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi noel, I use to work in aberdeen airport u couldn't get a better flight loganair crews are one of the best that I've worked with in the 4 years I worked at aberdeen airport
Totally agree! They're a wonderful group of people.
Logan air - a very useful airline. Very much enjoyed flying with them last year.
Great video as usual, but you should show a bit of the places that you visit! Another few minutes showing the airport surroundings and the hotel room and the video would have been even better
Always a good day when Noel uploads
Thanks again for what you do! Stay safe, we are thinking of everyone in Europe right now. All of us sending our best from the antipodes.
So it takes 12 hours to Bangkok from Heathrow... almost 7000 miles... how does it take 5 hours for 900 miles!? 🤔😮 headwinds and a slower aircraft Noel... 🤔 thank you for the content as always matey! 🙏🙂 ohhh refuelling and 3 legs... got you now!
Just curious as to the cause of the delay and if the pilots made it out of the Shetlands on time, or if you ended up meeting them in the hotel bar! Really enjoying your videos.
Wonderful video. Loved hearing the lovely Scottish accents. 💖✈✈
I love the ATR 72-600. I flew on one with Air Serbia from BEG to OTP and it was quiet, clean, and fairly comfortable.
But, the big unanswered question:
Did the plane get back out of the airport again that night?
Was thinking the same myself :-)
Well if it was the 14th April, no it didnt and there were passengers in Sumburgh, Aberdeen and Manchester all sitting waiting for hours for a flight that got later and later and was eventually cancelled. The danger of running one single aircraft over 3 joined routes late in the day and why the longest domestic flight aint great if youve got somewhere to be.
@@robg3545 Big airlines like BA have spare aircraft at most airports so that an aircraft running late doesn't necessarily trash the schedule. Small airlines can't afford to have expensive planes sitting around idle, so if you travel with them there is a greater risk that your itinerary gets blown apart.
Noel you’ve given me inspiration to trundle around our country in turbo props . What a brilliant idea my local airport’s SOU so a nice selection of operators to choose from .😀
Need the dosh to fly from Southampton
Loved the views! And the tartan theme interior was really cool. Glad you got a stretch before the last leg!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Tunnocks Caramel Wafer made my Loganair flight to Sumburgh too - 2 weeks after yours. As you said - surprisingly quiet aeroplane considering. Love you travel guides.
In summer, Easy Jet fly non-stop Newquay to Inverness. This by my reckoning would be the longest non-stop in the UK .
That looked like a great flight Noel. Not been to the Shetland isles, would be good to go.
I would highly recommend the Islands, to anyone. There is a good public transport network, but I'd recommend a car to make the most out of the islands. Northlink ferries operate a very good service from Aberdeen every day.
Just been on the Loganair service from Southampton to Glasgow (ERJ 145) and onwards to Islay on the S340. Bagged 4 Carmel Wafers buddy....bar the scenery it was the win of the day!!!
It's funny how flying is so enjoyable to you and you have absolutely zero fear. I'am still anxious when flying.
He should try the Brisbane to Mount Isa flight via Birdsville service on Rex Airlines. A nine hour flight on a SAAB 340! The direct flight is about 2.5 hours on a B737.
I’d love to see that
People in Brisbane commuting to Pilbara Iron Ore mines. 5 hours to Perth then 3 hours in another jet to the mine then an hour on a bus. Every 2 weeks there and back.
Five hours on a turboprop. Have you lost your mind? I hope you have good noise cancelling headphones.
I did like the frame rate/prop sync on takeoff though.
I have delivered to the Tunnocks factory in Glasgow lots of times the drivers always and I mean always get a large present of biscuits given to them it's a very very well-run company with the emphasis on the employees. Once employment is found with Tunnocks it's for life few if any leave there are not many businesses like that anymore. Great vid Noel.
Noel I couldn't agree more! Best bit about Loganair. My partner works for them and I work at Newcastle Airport so I always get my fill off the staff 😂
Next you should do the longest domestic flight in the US: Boston to Honolulu!
That’s the longest domestic flight anywhere in the world
Unless one counts dicey overseas territories routes like Noel mentioned in the vid, in which case it becomes Paris to St Denis, Reunion
@@willcormier9598 Paris to Papeete, French Polynesia would be longer but there is always a stopover in LAX.

Tunnocks caramel wafers are one those things that are vastly underrated by those who live in the UK.
I have a cousin who has just moved back to Scotland after living in Bangkok for many years with his daughter who was actually born in Thailand and had never been to the UK and Tunnocks Caramel Wafers are her favourite food since arriving in Scotland.
I also used to drive a van during the night on a route that took me past the Tunnocks factory in Uddingston, South Lanarkshire (just outside Glasgow).
Hi, Noel. My first time on your channel and Iwill certainly enjoy binge-watching all your previous vids and those to come.
Love seeing these small quirky airports
Thanks for this video. I was wondering how Logan Air would find enough passengers who want to fly from Newquay to Sumburgh. Then you said it was in 3 legs; right, now it all makes sense.
Flights were full when we flew to Shetland from Manchester in 2019!
There are huge economies possible by operating a schedule using multi-leg flights - the aircraft spends a lot more time flying, and so do the crew.
i need to go from Brighton to Liverpool next week, rather than spend £150 round trip in petrol, Im flying via dublin FR £12.99 each leg!
Great video as always. Thank you Noel.👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Glad you enjoyed it!
Tunnocks are always the little treat on any trip :D
