Read my review on this flight at Simple Flying: simpleflying.com/volotea-a-boeing-717-flight-on-spains-quirky-little-budget-airline/
Have you ever flown the 717? They’re a rare find now in Europe, although Delta in the USA have a whole ton of them!
Enjoy the rest of the weekend! 👍🏻👍🏻
Qantas link use them for regional flights here in Aus.
Been on a couple here in Aus on QantasLink... their cabins have been upgraded, and look much fresher than those Volotea use.
I have flown several internal flights in Australia in Boeing B717s. They are operated by Cobham Aviation on behalf of QantasLink. Very nice flights every time.
Have flown it several times with Delta, I believe delta will be replacing then with Airbus A220’s
Flown the 717 numerous times with Hawaiian Airlines. They’re used for their inter-Island service.
Excellent report Paul! Really enjoyed your take on an aircraft which isn’t seen too often now.
oh hello there. loving your videos!
Love your vids!
Oh HI! Love your vids DJ
Dj's Aviation Cheers DJ!
Very good report wasn’t it
I had to interrupt my viewing of your video to say well done for speaking out about 'haters'. As you say ... they're best ignored.
Indeed. A hater ultimately only wants to be heard.
I so agree with you!!.
I get bullied and it is good but simple advice
This channel is genuinely one of my favourite there's such a vintage TH-cam value to it
Agreed. Got pulled in not long ago and have been catching up ever since. Great videos to watch, very well put together and very informative. Best travel channel there is hands down.
I am flying Volotea from Naples to Cagliari. Would have preferred EasyJet but they leave very late at night. I screwed up. I bought an a la carte ticket as I am not used to their system and should have bought the "package." On the package I could have gotten extra legroom and a drink! A la Carte I paid more !!!! (I am a dummy) and am sitting in a regular seat with no drink. Beautiful airport! I can't understand why on earth people would insult you. You are a likable person. Your videos are great.
I’m sure you’re not a dummy, we all make those types of mistakes.
I've been watching since before you were in front of the camera and it's amazing how you presenting skills have improved.
Nicely said about haters and bully's , 100% agree!! 👍
Bullies
Never speed up the take offs!!!!! Many of us are here to just watch it! Still, Nice video!
For sure. Such a buzzkill. Who cares about the noodles. Takeoff on the other hand...
Most people skip the takeoff and don’t skip areas of the inflight service.
@@Paul_Lucas
I can assure you that for this Boeing 717's case, people aren't keen on skipping the take off. Your call Mr. Lucas.
You seem very confident for someone who doesn’t have the benefit of 200 videos with in depth analytics showing the areas people watch most and least. ☺️
@@Paul_Lucas So you have 200+ videos of 717s?
Very nice tripreport
I've seen a Volotea 717 land at Rennes Airport it's a amazing aircraft to see
Living near SFO, I see Delta 717s a lot, their a nice change to the constant 319s and 737
It’s a shame these aircraft are being phased out in favour of airbus. This is what makes spotting more enjoyable is seeing these old birds flying 😊
I try not to comment on youtube, but I just wanted to remind you to not let the haters get you down! Your videos are a good insight for tourists who are trying an airline for the first time and even those who might be afraid of flying, it's also an opportunity for you to introduce us to a world we otherwise wouldn't be exposed to, so thank you!
I've flown two orphaned aircraft in the past that were a blast to fly, one was the Dornier 328 and second was the B 717. The cockpit looks small from the outside, however it is far more comfortable than the B 737. The instrumentation and panels are clean and easy to understand and actually are exactly the same as the MD-11(minus one engine). It's extremely quiet up front, so much so you must actually read your instruments to ensure the engines are running, it's that quiet. The only complaint I had flying it was that the wing was old technology aerodynamics and it just kind of gave up around 32 or 33,000 feet, so you were always dodging storms instead of flying over them. Great report, Paul.....Keep up the good work. Cheers!
7:03
I believe that town you're asking for is Makarska, Croatia. 😊👍🏻
spot on. I almost embarrassed myself as I was about to claim it was Split. But it's not. Definetely Makarska. Well done.
Thank you for another great video. I think you're the only one (as far as I know) who flies the smaller airlines on a regular basis, and I love to see the results, good or bad.
Great trip report, as always! The town you passed looks like Makarska in Croatia.
It is Makarska - thanks!
Wingin’ It! Paul Lucas Makarska was the ultimate destination of my first ever flight. The summer of 1984, from East Midlands to Split on a Yugotours Tupolev TU-134 as part of the package holiday to, what was then still, communist Yugoslavia. But they had a fledgling holiday industry. Yugoslavia was always a little less hardline than the other Warsaw Pact nations and was controlled less by the Soviet Union, so was happy to take the pound and the Deutschmark
@@Ulleskelf Yugoslavia wasn't a member of the Warsaw Pact and was neutral in the Cold War so they didn't follow orders from Moscow.
I see I'm just a bit too late, I love trying to identify towns and landmarks from the air. Well done, and if Paul hadn't confirmed it, I'd 2nd that and say yes I agree, that's Makarska!
@@UlleskelfI believe it's safe to say it wasn't controlled at all by Soviet Union, basically, Tito gave middle finger to Stalin and threatened to kill him if he catches another of his spies (after 4th or 5th of them). He said he will send one of his own assassins, and he won't need to send another :)
Just adding a note, two other airports that can be reached by water: Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (also by pedestrian underwater tunnel) and Ketchikan Int'l Airport in Ketchikan, Alaska (only by ferry).
There is a ferry that connects the airport in Kobe with Kansai.
Great video Paul,I didn’t realise you could get such cheap flights like that, I was thinking more €100 for something like that.
Also, the chat at the beginning about the bullies was excellent. Keep up the excellent work and I’m already looking forward to the next Video.
In Europe you can easily find flights around €10-€20 so yea
Not a plane or train buff. But I somehow love your videos. Very informative too!! Keep up the great work Paul.
Another great video mate, well done. I didn't realise the 717s were so rare as QF is forever flying them out of ADL.
Cheers Dennis. Yeah, make the most of the 717 while you can, a great aircraft which nearly everyone I know loves.
I don’t understand why you would get haters, Paul. Your videos having nothing wrong. Watching them is the highlight of my day!
I love your channel. And I am on a mission to watch every single episode. Thank you for doing what you do, and I really appreciate what you said about the haters. The internet needs more people like you, Paul. Cheers.
Paul, great PSA at the beginning about dealing with "haters." Excellent food for thought for your young viewers. The Priority Pass lounge looked very nice. I fly on Delta's 717s and like them, especially the extra legroom and snacks in their Comfort Plus section.
I am thrilled to have been on your skyrocket ride of success from early on! I don't believe you need to utter a word about haters, though, because they're merely acknowledging the obvious change in your success. Change can be unsettling and scary, especially if it seems like the celebrity is changing. My humble advice is to stay grounded, remember from whence you've come and the self-portrait you've painted. Paul's life can get better, but Paul must never look down his nose at anyone as it does so...! Keep up the great trip reports and let those takeoffs and landings roll at regular speed, pretty-please!
What with too much time on my hands and an insatiable appetite for geography and google maps, coupled with your less than perfect flight plan and lack of time elapsed as to when you saw your unidentified town, I am pleased to tell you that the town is Makarska, Croatia. Keep up your travels, very enjoyable reports.
The town is called Makarska. You nailed it with your statement about haters and bullies.
Have to thank you for the heads up on the Priority Pass. My wife is an art tutor on cruise liners and I told her about it a few months back. A quick switch of our business credit card and she got it free. Has used it in Dublin (twice), Belfast, Manchester (twice), Bridgetown and Dubai so far. Hoping Valletta airport has one as she flies back from there on Thursday. Thanks again.
As a travel agent, I enjoy your videos immensely. You are honest, very informative and thorough in your reporting. I look forward to your next video. Great job as usual!
I don't know your channel very long but I like it and the thing you said about haters is so true. But there is one thing I don’t understand: You are friendly, intelligent, you seem very passionate and you helping people with your intelligent content. And you presentation is very calm and sympathic in a very fast world. It’s such a postive thing. And there is just one ad in that video. So, how in the world can someone like you have haters???? I really don’t get it...
When you come to Australia, you'll be able to fly on Qantas' 717. Still plenty flying.
They look like a MD 80, was not really aware of them before this.
Same in the US with Delta
@@damian-795 They look like an MD80 because the Boeing 717 was actually the MD95. But then Boeing bought out Mcdonnell Douglas they re-named it.
Essentially the same aircraft. Both are evolutions of the DC-9.
7:03 is called Makarska, Croatia. Literally took me less than 1 minute to find using satellite imagery on google maps.
Damn, 4 days too late. Just found it in about 2 minutes
@@hateyousm The first time I've heard that expression.
@@hateyousm Weird flex
Hey Paul, Just a point I thought you might find interesting. Tui (UK Tui) Have one flight a week on Tuesdays Between May and October Between London Southend (SEN) And Palma De Majorca (PMI) Which, due to not wanting to lose a 737-8K5, They Subcontract Out to Volotea. Last year the flights were:
PMI - SEN: Dep. 12:20 CET, Arr.13:20 BST
SEN - PMI: Dep. 14:30 BST, Arr. 17:30 CET
The plane then continues on its mainland Spain and Europe Network, Arriving into Palma from Barcelona at 11:45 CET, And Upon Arrival Back to PMI, Departed with the 19:05 to Nice.
Just a piece of Information I thought You might Like to Know!
Great video Paul. I do have a soft spot for the 717s and try to fly them whenever I can as I figure they'll be phased out in coming years. they're pretty quiet too, if you manage to sit up the front, but make quite a racket if you're sitting down the back!
Really enjoyable channel per whole. I don't comment often, but wanted to encourage you to keep going.
Nice trip report! I used to be a First Officer at Volotea so this video brings back some memories... Thank you
Don’t understand how some people can hate on your videos, they are great.
7.06: Makarska, Dalmatia (most of the flight goes along the coast of Dalmatia in Croatia). By the way, I flew a few times Volotea between Venise and Palermo and I found legroom quite generous.
Hello Paul! Great video as always! I'm a purser working for Volotea and I really recommend you to fly in our Aibus A319 fleet!!! You're going to be surprised on how new they look and also our new interior lights!!!
Paul, Boston also has water taxis, but they don't go completely to the terminal; you have to take a shuttle bus to access the terminals from the taxi dock. The opposite end of the trip is downtown Boston just across the water from the airport.
You’re right about haters but I’ve honestly never seen haters on your channel or frankly don’t know how that’d even work lmao, your videos don’t have much to hate on. Just good straightforward reviews on what we want to know about lol
My first flight in a first class cabin was on the Delta 717! Short 2 hour flight from Chicago to Atlanta, but amazing flight! Quiet up front and even a retrofitted cabin! Hope to see them flying for a long time:)
I flew a 717 in the mid-2000 on now defunct ATA (American Trans Air) which was based here in Indianapolis. I can't remember where I flew, probably Houston Hobby. I do remember the flight was great, and it had XM Satellite radio, which was a big deal here in the US at the time.
We miss ATA here in Indy, and I'll miss the 717 once it stops flying.
Another great video. Love. FYI, Logan Airport in Boston Massachusetts in the US has a water taxi from downtown. I've never taken it but someday I will if/when I'm not in a hurry. But you are right, I too haven't seen this type of transportation to/from an airport widely provided. Thumbs up from me. Keep up the great work.
congrats to 100k. love your reports so much, been here since around 15k. the quality is so professional now and i wish you all the best for the coming years :)
Also, hope youre enjoying the trip in scandinavia, looking forward to the reports! love the new gimbal and gopro. it looks so professional in 4k
You are such a pro! Your flight reviews are so consistently informative and well-made. I enjoy them so much that, when you post a new one, I save it for at least three days so that I can look forward to watching it. Let's see what kinda merch you're proposing! Thanks SO much!!!!
Another great value flight (with bonus Pot Noodle!) - I should imagine being stuck in the middle in the three seat configuration would be rather "cosy".
Steve Cooksley Nobody ever wants a middle seat 😊😊
A water taxi is an option to get to Logan Airport in Boston but it requires a bus ride from the airport taxi stop to your specific terminal. Thank you for another great video!!
When I travelled to Boston I took a water taxi to the city harbour side. Fantastic experience and views.
You can also sail from Macau to HKG Airport with immigration clearance done and baggage checked before boarding the boat. You end up directly from the ship to the security control going into the airside. Cool experience.
I see there's 7 thumbs down and wonder what they're even doing here watching yet another excellent trip report. I guess they must be those automatic 'haters' Paul so rightly dismissed. This one, like all the others, deserves thumbs up and ignore the haters.
How can anyone hate you or your channel!? Keep the great videos coming :)
A great video as always Paul, thank you!!
May I just say, your comment about the haters. You have it on the head with it. You are right, the haters just hate the fact that other people actually get on with their lives and make their dreams come true. You have shown how to do that!!
Doing what you do shows a lot of people including myself, if you want something, go for it!! It may not be flying around for me, but what you are doing is showing me I can actually go for my dream job. I haven't got there exactly where I want to yet but I will get there with determination and knowing I'll be happy!!
Thank you again Paul, a legend!
Speaking of water transport - Toronto City Airport (Billy Bishop) is located on the Toronto islands in front of the downtown core. In the past, you would take a ferry across the narrow passageway. They eventually built a underground tunnel though that you walk under to reach the airport.
Hey Paul, quick question/suggestion - would you mind telling us what you get up to in these places? I know you've said in a Q&A before that you usually just fly in and make connections so often do not actually do a lot of exploring of the countries you land in - but if you are doing any exploring, it would be nice to know what you get up to! The reason I ask is that I'd quite like to get into some of these flights but I'd also like to know if there are any easy to access landmarks/tourist spots near the airports so I can see a little of the country as well. Appreciate you are a flight blog channel rather than a tourism channel but thought it was worth asking :) safe flying!
Paul such a great day when I get a Paul’s trip report video! Thanks for the great content and personally still believe your channel is the most unique and fun to watch.
I'm taking a Volotea flight from Venice to Kos next Thursday, this video really helped me putting down my anxieties
Thanks
I'm glad you mentioned that I was feeling some strange way about my TH-cam channel because I'm a small creator even though I'm a mountain biker the fact of the matter is I want to reach people for positive and sometimes I get a little discouraged but I still keep going I'm actually almost to 200 episodes and hearing you say that was very encouraging most definitely Paul safe travels and I enjoy the trip report as always
Hi Paul, Stateside Bosnian here..
Please do yourself a favor and visit Bosnia and more specifically Mostar, Blagaj and Neum..you'll enjoy your stay. I'm a huge fan of your channel so please keep the videos coming.
Cheers from the USA
Oh! Fascinating that they used to belong to Midwest Airlines! That certainly takes me back to my childhood. I probably flew on one of these. I still miss the warm chocolate chip cookies!
I think your remark about haters was spot on. I also think that there also jealousy thrown in simply because you are doing what they can't or won't.
As for me?
Well I am also jealous but in the best way and I know I can never do what you do, so watching you is the next best thing! 😎
I dont understand why anyone would hate on you. I love your vids!
Used to fly on these all the time with Airtran (when they were brand new) in the USA before they were folded into Southwest. I liked them. Was nice not having a middle seat on the left, especially when traveling with my kids. Was in Venice last summer...was picked up by private boat at the train station to our Airbnb.
HA has their cabins pretty up to date. They've installed thinner seats to accommodate a few extra seats into the aircraft. The cabin is always clean and the new HA livery looks amazing on the 717!! Hands down HA has the best livery for the aircraft IMO....
Europe is so lucky to have so many cheap and reliable flight options. Cheapest flights in the US on our few low cost airlines is at least double what you paid!
Not the only airport in the world with a ferry service. Toronto's Billy Bishop airport (YTZ) offers a ferry from downtown Toronto to Toronto Island (where the airport is located). This is in addition, to the newly built underground tunnel which serves a similar purpose!
Another great video Paul. Keep up the good work. Best airline reviews by far!!!
Paul, good comment about "haters" (1:22)! You are spot on.
+Wingin' It! Paul Lucas Hong Kong also offers ferry services directly from the airport but you can also get to other cities via a high speed ferry directly from that airport, amongst them being Macau, Guangzhou and Dongguan. It's an amazing service that I've done many times.
I flew on a Delta 717 and I was so happy because they won't be around Forever. I had a wing view I could not be happier.
It's unbelievable that you have haters on an innocuous trip review channel! You're right to ignore them, great content as ever Paul - keep it up!
I've flown the QantasLink 717 in Australia. I've always admired them and don't mind flying them at all!
Agree about the haters. You're in a position where it doesn't matter anyway, you clearly are achieving so much more with your life than they are so just keep thriving and doing what makes you happy 👍
Top video 👍. To anyone thinking of going to Venice, I highly recommend taking a speedy water taxi from the Airport ( if you can afford it, it ain't cheap). It's a really comfortable and stylish way to travel and affords you much better views of the journey than what the Vaporetto/Alilaguana does.
Just a note, Volotea was founded by the founders of Vueling and even though it's now a participation of multiple investors, the company is registered as Spanish (you can see the planes have "EC" license and the on board labels are in English and Spanish)
I loved the light fixtures in the WC! Would like to get a pair of 'em. I've never seen those on a 717 (formerly MD 80 and DC 9, I believe) before. I flew the now defunct but wonderful PSA (Pacific Southwest Airlines) in California for years which used the stretch (longer) version of this aircraft exclusively, and as was mentioned in this video, if you sit in or towards the front, it's virtually silent, a bit like being in a super-powered glider. Nice to see Paul flying something other than business or first class for a change, too. :)
Haters!!! Who would have a reason to hate you??? Your videos are great, you have a very nice voice (for your voice overs) and great camera presence. What's to hate? Well, I like your videos a lot so I consider myself a "liker" if there is such a word!
Venice, my home airport!! Thank you for showing the lounge, a place I don't have the possibility to explore. The terminal looks unusually calm and empty, probably due to day and time. Thanks for sharing!
I watched this at 2 AM. No regrets ur videos are amazing!
Damn I miss air travel! You have set me off wanting to visit the Mediterranean again. Its been 7 years since we travelled abroad. Young family, work, finances etc. But next year it should be a goer. many thanks for posting this video I really enjoyed it!
Is that Ron swanson?
Loved your advice on how to deal with haters, wise words indeed.
Another awesome video! I travelled on a Delta 717 a couple of years ago, from LAS to LAX. I filmed the take off, it's on my channel. Loved the retro feel!
The flights i had with them were fun. I didnt eat any food... didnt know if there was any. But its good. It has its charm. The 717 is loud. But really fast and exiting.
*_This video deserves every bit of attention. Supercool way of presentation_*
I am really addicted to watching your travel reports. I really appreciate the fact that you are not focused purely on air travel only but you show the variety of transport means. Do you plan to show more with regards to the infrastructure in Eastern Europe maybe? Perhaps Night City Train service from Budapest to Warsaw? I wonder how would like that kind of service. Many thanks.
Wonderful initial comments..good on you. Always be positive as you are. Look forward to seeing you one day in an airport lounge.
Hi Paul! Just a quick comment to say a big thank you for your videos, love them, always great to watch! Cheers!
Airlines aside great advice on dealing with haters and bullies, thank you for adding that. :)
The new LGA in NYC will have ferry terminal providing direct access from Manhattan to the airport via the East River! Still a few years away, but I'm really looking forward to it!
There are many people and TH-camrs who I can understand why they have haters but I just can't quite see why anyone would really hate on your channel just like that. Your videos are hardly controversial or opinion splitting.
that's human nature some people would be jealous if you got a few more grains of sugar in your coffee than them.
Excellent advice to the younger viewers on haters Paul, don't even waste your time going down to their level. basically the majority are very insecure, jealous under achievers, don't give them the satisfaction of engaging with them.
Anyway, back to yet another super video, I really was surprised to see that the 717 was still operating in parts of Europe I imagined they'd be long gone.
Great video, Paul, particularly your comments regarding haters.........they are just not worth the time or effort. Good on you and please keep up the excellent work!!!!!
if I remember correctly both Boston Logan and Hong Kong airport have ferry terminals as well :)
Great video...I used to fly out of Venice regularly in the late 90s, nice to see the airport has done a major renovation. Keep up the great travel videos.
Paul, The town is Makarska in Croatia.
best explanation on handling haters i ever heard
The 717 is just an MD machine anways (originally what was to be the MD-95, but then Boeing bought McDonnell-Douglas).
... and was the ONLY plane Boeing kept building after buying MD (they decided not to keep building their other plane at the time, the MD11) since they didn't had anything in that small of a size (and still won't have until Embraer's product enters the sales lineup).
I recently fly a 717 on Hawaiian. I was so happy as I grew up flying a DC-9.
As you said, Qantas operate a number of 717 aeroplanes and I've frequently enjoyed flying in them. They're comfortable, agile and relatively silent, the pilots seem to like flying them and I gather, the planes are very reliable. I'm sure Qantas would seek out any available 717s that come up for sale.
I really enjoy your travel videos Paul. Straight forward, informative and interesting. Keep up the good work.
Absolutely love your videos! I don't get to travel as much as I want, so your videos let me vicariously travel on many different airlines!
I've flown on a Delta 717 a few years ago, not sure if they're around much anymore.
I see 717’s almost daily as they overfly my place on their approach into Sydney , they are Qantas link of course . Hamilton Island Airport has a boat quay too . It is used by the Hayman Island resort boats to shuttle its guests between the resort and the airport . Great video as usual Paul .
Oh, I like the phone booths in the lounge! What a great idea to give privacy to cell phone conversations! Haha - smiled at the plug-in instead of an actual phone. A gorgeous, colorful lounge. In fact, the entire airport looks like a work of art, really.
Oh, gosh - Midwest Airlines! I'd quite forgotten about them. I have certainly flown them in the past. (Domestic USA).
Haters for a trip report channel? I guess no one escapes. And, yes, ignoring is the only sane response. Stepping into their web never, ever works. And, oh, the identification of the town you asked for at 7:03 - it's Makarska, Croatia! Wow - I spent an hour trolling for it along the Adriatic coastline on Google Earth. Always fascinating and easy to get distracted. :D
