In this video, I take an unusual and somewhat random route - Norwich to Exeter on Flybe. Flybe have an extensive domestic UK network and operate on a low cost basis. Why fly from Norwich to Exeter? Well, England is strange; try taking a car or train north to south. It's fast and there's good direct infrastructure. East to West? No chance...
Norwich Airport is interesting in that it charges each passenger £10 to depart from the airport - a "passenger development fee". So, while the fares are low from Norwich, mainly because of low airline fees, the airport still makes it back by charging you to pass through security.
This flight took place on a stormy day in Eastern England, so the raindrops on the window made for some challenging filming...
Enjoy the video.

Paul's Trip Reports I live in exeter
I agree .. Paul is such a hot man
The pause between alicante while he made his next excuse tho...
Nice report, and always good to see my home airport (Norwich) featured!
That’s my home airport too!
@@MrDrchen Needs to come back and do it again its always sunny here well most of the time
The boarding ramp looked longer than the bus ride. Love the videos mate.
Nice video as usual, always enjoy seeing the smaller regional Airports getting a plug
Awesome! I was born in Exeter and lived there for 14 years!
another good report Paul. I remember a few years back flying to Norwich on a Eastern Airways J41. Neat little airport !
Another excellent report Paul
Another great report Paul, and I should thank you for being one of the main influences that made me do my recent Birmingham-Guernsey video as a report including the lounge rather than just a flight video this time!
The 🐁
Awesome video paul! keep up the awesome videos!
Informative entertaining and well edited videos. Great that you cover flights of varying duration and cost.
Great video again Paul. Excellent report and I always enjoy your reports. Nice low flight and cruise at just 21,000 FT. You will enjoy your TLL-HEL hop, I flew it again yesterday, nice 15 minute flight, hitting just 10,000 FT for a about 1 minute.
Nice to see a domestic report here.
+When I Travel The World Cheers. Really looking forward to the TLL-HEL trip, anything with novelty value is good for me! Lol.
Very kind to cut out the guy who was disabled. Thank you.
You earned a sub and a like :D
Genuinely can’t quite believe there’s enough demand on this route to warrant regular service
There isn't and it's stopping in October.
Happy travels paul :-)
Well done Paul, great video nice to see a local flight.Shame about the weather.
Hey man just wanted to say - I love your videos! Hope to see way more coming soon! Excited about your North America trip! You should make a trip report to KDEN! Awesome airport! We have BA and I'm pretty sure seasonal service to gatwick and full to heathrow! Keep up the awesome vids!
I've used Norwich to Holland and then beyond loads, I live in Great Yarmouth so it's lovely to get on to home soil and know that you're going to be home in an hour. Not at fgging Gatwick. 🙂
This is most fascinating because I live so close to Norwich and everytime we pass the airport I always want to know what's it like in there and... Pretty much what I expected.
Great video I liked and subscribed
Amazing video ☺️😁
you managed the unfocused scene in a very professional artistically manner! :-) great job!
+Mike Herbst Thanks!
Really enjoy your filming, editing. and himor. First time I've seen Exeter since attending an American law school's summer program there in 1977.
+Francis Bagbey Thanks Francis. Exeter is a nice place, far enough away from London to feel like real England.
See this fly out all of NWI the time! Nice vid! :)
BTW that S7 ERJ-170 is their first ever one :)
Fun video as always. The rain on the windows didn't bother me. That's what I normally saw while on the the express train between school in Manchester (Cheshire actually) and my grand uncle's place in Birmingham in the late 1960s. I hope you do a new train video soon.
Another Great video Paul. Always great to watch your trip reports.
any chance you will be doing some train reports like you've done in the past?
+haggischaser1028 Yep, maybe a sleeper trip next weekend and if not, definitely the Empire Builder later this month.
good to see you're keeping to your high sugar diet...strenuous work all this flying around :)
My local airport! You'd have gone over where I went to school on the approach (the NDB and Middle Marker were in the corner of the Hockey field), if it had been an 08 landing I'd probably be pointing "there's my flat!"
He drove past my house in the opening seconds too :)))
Another top trip report Paul! I've always wondered what it is like to fly FlyBe. I know it'd be difficult as regards not filming people, but I always want to see what the cabin and the seats are like whenever possible. I guess if you loiter and be the last one off you might get a chance on occasion? Will have to send you through the dates of my US trip just in case we're at the same airport on the same day! Oh, and when we'll collabbed on Eurostar, then howsabout Barra?? On my bucket list for sure. All the best.
+Andrew Ditton Cheers Andrew. This was a rare occasion where I’d forgotten to bring my GoPro. I use a GoPro on a backpack strap to film walking on the aircraft etc, which gives you a view of the whole cabin. Barra is on my bucket list too! The logistics always annoyed me though. It seems criminal to go straight there and back without going elsewhere in the islands, and the car hire in Barra is expensive. When are you off to the US? Feel free to email if you like: paulstripreports@gmail.com
Nice video! Exeter's my local
My first embraer trip report
If your interested City of Derry airport has got a new route for the summer. It's operated by Thomson and first choice. The plane is an ASL airlines 737-3. It's once a week to Majorca. ✈️
Great video. Are you able to show more of the terminal building and infrastructure
Enjoyed this trip report! Have hardly seen reports on these type of sectors so glad we got an insight to what it's like. Approximately 1 hour flight time?
+Zuhair Farouk Thanks! It's only about 40 minutes, very short really.
Oh Paul! What on earth was that sound at the emd???!!!
Nice Video! Could you fly with aurigny some time?
You picked the right plane to go on (:
Exeter airport is like a couple of fields behind my house 😂
I’ve seen shorter bus ride to the plane. In fact it was so short it was legit quicker to walk. Basically the plane was parked right in front of the gate but they insisted on a bus so a bus pulls up we get on and it does a 3 point turn so it can pull forward to the aircraft.
Nice one Paul.
Better a short dry bus ride than a wet walk on the apron like we get. I see Norwich have cottoned on the the "Airport Development Fee" scam. They did that at Blackpool (£10 a pop)a while back but they still went bust. I wrote and asked for all mine back as it obviously had not been spent but they never replied. LoL.
Nice touch using the flight mag for background notes.
More please.
+Olive Thrush Not sure it's a scam as such, basically the airport will get your money one way or another. Either they charge airline fees per passenger which they pass on to you, or they charge you directly (and the airline gets to advertise lower headline fares as a result). Not sure how successful it is though in terms of raising money, it only applies to departures as well. Hmm!
I know there are some KLMs at Norwich Airport but i haven't seen any yet.
*Edit:* I might see one tomorrow!
Nice video.
Ah! BE4304! The flight I took from Norwich to Exeter on G-FBEG!
Nice to see a Short Internal Trip report for a change! First I've seen since Subbed, 3 months ago.. Was it GWR back to Paddington after Paul?
+Kevin Duval SWT back home!
Kevin Duval is
enjoyable video. Are some of these regional airports old raf airfields such as Biggin Hill?
+Paul Whitear Thanks Paul. Most of them are. Norwich was RAF Horsham St Faith and Exeter was RAF Exeter for example.
Great video. Unfortunately this excellent route is no longer available.
Just did a return Exeter Norwich Exeter. Embraer 195. Overall excellent. I'll never drive this journey ever again. Two things of note: The pilot didn't land well in Norwich and there was a nasty delay on the return at Exeter before we could disembark apparently because we were not an intercontinental flight which take priority which spoilt the otherwise excellent timekeeping.
@3:12 Not quite the shortest bus ride ever - FLR takes the biscuit, where the union representing airside bus drivers has a tight hold on all movements between the terminal and the planes :)
Great video, you featured my local Airport Derry LDY a few months back when Flybmi launched the Stansted STN route. What video camera do you use for recording? The quality is excellent.
+derryviewer Thanks! It's just an iPhone 7 plus, but I'm going to upgrade to a proper camera in the autumn. 👍🏻
My home airport! We could have met up :)
its funny are attitude to these domestic routes ive herd people say whats the point but ive flown shorter legs to amsterdam
Paul, that music towards the end was weird!!!)))
amazing video from my local NWI . what sort of camera do you use, as I have d7100 and wonder if get suspicious looks as don't want to put luggage in case damage
+EGSH Spotter & Aviation & More Videography It's just an iPhone 7 plus! :-)
Paul's Trip Reports amazing quality for iPhone, keep up great work
Was the flight busy??
liked the idea of a damp rather than steps to board the aircraft. how long in advance of departure are passengers expected to arrive at the airport for domestic flights?
+H Masoum7 I think 45 minutes at Norwich.
I love your channel, you put a lot of effort in To making the videos. Life hack #1 get the £3 meal deal from Tesco before you go. #2 never fly Air India Express. My mate Nick did. Never again!
I heard this plane (Type of plane) will be discontinued in March 2020 and it will only be the propellor plane
Looked at the distance on google maps, they link to flight prices from £771!
+Neil Phelps Flybe don't load their fares into Google Flights ;-) this cost about £25.
Anyone else question why we have so many airports in the UK? Just seems to be an awful lot in a relatively small country.
A couple of reasons.
Firstly, we're an island, and for many people flying is cheaper, quicker and more convenient than using the Euro Tunnel or ferries to connect to neighbouring nations.
Secondly, the UK population is about 65 million, which is similar to France, but in about half the area. So our population density keeps demands buoyant.
Thirdly, it has been the policy of successive governments (since Thatcher) to privatise almost anything owned by the state. So London has a half dozen privately owned and operated airports that are in competition with one another. Many other countries think differently, and airports remain in state or public ownership, with resources poured into one single airport per major city.
Fourthly, our infrastructure is not as good as some other nations, and what we do have is generally radial from London outwards. France, Germany, etc have high speed rail lines, including inter-regional, that have all but eliminated the need for domestic flights. Norwich is so badly served by road and rail that the airport can sustain multiple daily flights to Manchester, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, etc.
Finally, our London airports are congested, so many passengers connect through overseas hubs. KLM serve no less than 15 UK airports from AMS multiple times a day. Emirates have dozens of daily flights, including many A380, to 6 UK airports.
@@jameslovestokyo you've also missed out because they're cheap to build. Most airports are converted RAF bases.
Lets take this to Doncaster Sheffield airport, that was an old bomber airfield. There are many RAF bases due to the battle of Britain with such high demand.
What's with the Airport Development Fee? Shouldn't that be included in the total ticket price? I had no idea where Norwich or Exeter were,so I stopped the video where you are looking at the FlyBe domestic map and discovered you were flying from the east coast to the roughly southwest coast of England,glad to see the weather improved somewhat at your destination,doesn't look like you ever got above the clouds for blue sky and sun
Sorry,just read your trip description,I understand your fee was for security at the airport
So when traveling from one part of England to another the plane doesn’t go its normal height?
Because it is not a long journey, there is no point in climbing all the way to 37000 feet. It’s a huge fuel burn.
Great video. The airport reminds me of a hospital. Oh whats the airport developement fee all about? - (edit) just read your BIO
+Tony Ebikeme Jr It's basically a passenger fee. Most airports just add it into the airline fee leading to a higher headline fare, I think.
can you do long haul flight reports please?
+Aboudi Anani There are some coming this summer!
Can you do a trip report on SAS i Think Its pretty good
Gamerboys2005 There are a few already on my channel.
Did you like Exeter airport
i think my bus ride at corfu was shorter
Great video, Is it made with imovie?
+max welsh Yep. :-)
Nah the shortest bus ride ever is in Katowice airport, the plane is in front of the gate but we still needed to catch a bus on a number of occasions
How old is that bus at 3:02 I'm sure all buses must be low floor that was the agreement at the end of 2016.
MrGriser It's not on a revenue route so it doesn't have to comply with those regulations. It's also custom built (note the entry door is on the right hand side!).
Can you do reviews on Air Canada or other Canadian airlines please?
+Aboudi Anani I hope to do Air Canada at some point next year.
There is Canada flights coming soon
Now flybe have all got ride of their 195s and 175s and no longer fly to Manchester as Loganair have cut the flight meaning if you want to get to manchester from Norwich it’s like a 6 hour train journey.
Can beat you with the short bus ride, in Sarajevo they bus you a total of 30ft, you used to be able to walk but after the airport bought some busses you no longer are able to do that. By time everyone gets to the bus you could have walked across and boarded.
I've not seen a boarding ramp like what you used in the UK before, just in the USA and Australia,.
+Philip Dobinson Funny, I've never seen one in this country until this trip. Both Norwich and Exeter had them. I think it's a low cost way of boarding mobility impaired passengers!
What was the load like? surprised it wasn't a q400
See the comments above - it's a E195 purely because FlyBe use it to rotate crew and the a/c back to EXT between sunshine flights.
RIP Flybe
Why did u put money in that machine for at the start ?
That's Norwich Airport's £10 development fee.
rip flybe
Any chance of doing Qantas one day?
+Patrick Donnolley I hope so. Australia is a logistical nightmare for me (I'm limited mostly by time!). But I know I get a lot of views from Oz so I am really keen to get down there one day!
Great Movie, love them but you need to talk into the camera more. Your a good talker and you present well. Talk more Paul.
Is the security really that busy at Norwich that it’s worth while paying for fast track?
The routes being scrapped at the end of October. A pity but It's no wonder. I've never been on it with an even remotely full plane.
All routes using the E195 are being cut regardless anyway. Shame they couldn't replace the Exeter run with a Q400 though
What a strange route. Was the flight full and what's the attraction for Flybe flying this route ?
+bkkseagull About 50-60% full, going east to west in England is a pain over land. I think the route loses money and is just a way of cycling an E95 between its Norwich base and Exeter base. It's definitely got niche appeal for an enthusiast though!
Regional & City Airports Ltd. own both Norwich and Exeter Airports. FlyBe and R&C came to an agreement a couple of years ago to provide seasonal service from both EXT and NWI to AGP and ALC with EXT based crew and a/c. The plane flies EXT-AGP-NWI-EXT (crew change) EXT-NWI-AGP-EXT one day and then ALC the next. The routes to Málaga and Alicante now operate all year round, albeit less often in the winter. As it's purely scheduled for a neat AM/PM crew change, seats on the NWI/EXT sector are often available for less than £20 each way.
James B Thanks James, that's a really comprehensive explanation!
James B Now I know!!!! Cheers.
It's not 737MAX but it's 737NG ;)
Paul - love wingin’ it but the fact the guy was disabled was not necessary to highlight...nor even that it even happened if you’ve edited it out ☺️
How long was the flight?
+Jon Brown About 40 mins.
That's fast.
Why were you heading to Exeter?
fly be's geography x_x
Whats that 737 at 10:56?
+Aero air Channel Express, a cargo operator.
Thanks :)
Don't think it was Paul. looks to be West Atlantic to me.
West Atlantic Based out of Coventry
Lol literally more than 1/3 of the people who live in Norwich watched this video
And I'm one of them.
I assume this was before loganair started flying under their own name
Yeah now they've pretty much taken over Norwich now, with routes to JER, MAN, EDi and now ABZ.
Doesnt look like a bad airport but i wouldnt go from it to go on holiday (even though its close to me), it just looks dead
You can’t focus manual?
+capwkidd Not on an iPhone you can’t, no.
Paul's Trip Reports www.google.com/amp/s/www.imore.com/best-manual-camera-apps-iphone%3Famp
norwich airport sounds a bit like ryanair
Don’t know what was the point of that bus ride
Alfred White to keep them out of the rain as much as possible
Arrivals for Exeter is such a crap experience. You really feel like you are walking through somebody's office or a bloody portacabin
Sorry but that isn't an 737 max
The APU exhaust outlet on the max has been reduced and has new engines chevrons and slight increase in size, that's the most noticeable feature on the MAX. On the clip it is clearly just a 737 BBJ. Look out for norwegian 737's max, they've had 2 delivered already.
Definitely. We've never had a 737 MAX at Norwich yet.
trausti priv at Oslo Airport Norway there lands like 3 of Them a day but two of Them Are probably the same
trausti priv 3:38 You can see the winglet
mark hickey yeah those are split scimitar winglets
That it no 737Max.. That is 737 scimitar
Wish he didn’t sit at the back all the time you get better engine sounds at the front of the plane
No mention of the rip off 'airport development fee' that you have to pay then? They've been charging that for years, but the airport is still a dump.
If you watch the video you can see me pay the fee at the machine.
I know. I was expecting some vocal criticism high lighting it.
It seems like a rip off to me. They've been charging it for years and haven't done much with it.
It wasn't a criticism of your video, just something I think people need to know if they're considering flying from Norwich. Why they can't include it in the ticket price is beyond me.
@@l3v1ckUK NWI literally say on their website what it's for - www.norwichairport.co.uk/airport-development-fee/. I don't understand why people make so much of a fuss about it. It's literally £10, not fifty.
Did you enjoy he portacabin arrivals area? Hahahaha. Just so crap truth be known
You can see why Flybe lost so much money, running silly niche routes like this out of airports nobody else flies from, especially fuel hungry and expensive lease E195s which should have been on European sunshine routes making proper money.
