It's so damn refreshing to see a real video showing real cost-saving options and experiences for real folk - instead of all those channels proclaiming "look at narcissistic 'me me me' reviewing first/business class" shite.

Brilliant video! So much better than the channels that just carp about shortcomings in Business class. Keep going. The number of subscribers will grow!

If you're on a tight budget, it's best to leave arriving at Frankfurt Airport until later - the food prices there are exorbitant. The cheapest flights of national carriers from FFM to the UK are usually via KLM. If you travel out to Hahn, there's also a costly coach ticket to get you there, and Hahn is really run down these days. Sometimes it's easier to get a coach to Cologne airport and fly to Manchester, where you can catch an onward coach or train. If you're really adventurous, catch a coach/train up to Düsseldorf and fly from there. BTW: Many years ago, FFM airport had a cinema, so you could take in a movie to kill time.

Well, that was a long way round for a short cut! Well done for figuring it all out and lasting the course. (Subscriber)

Apart from saving a lot of money this journey certainly provides some adventure. The worst part for me would be the hours and hours sitting around waiting for next leg of the journey. Plus I'd happily pay extra to avoid Ryan-pirates-Air. Well done Scott for calling their bluff - twice! I presume there wasn't a cheaper flight to e.g. London and a train back to Scotland.

Yet another great video Scot you certainly put yourself through it again keep up the good work

I haven’t flown with Ryanair for 12 years. I don’t ever plan to again except as a last resort

I'm writing to the King to suggest he give you a gong! Your journeys seem to tackle the limits of human endurance! I would be dead or at the very least end up like a worn-out dish-rag. As a consolation to you, I enjoy your quirky videos. Many thanks.

Always nice to see a young man enjoying his work!!

As ever, you have my admiration pal, rotten journeys like that are usually cos you need to go somewhere for an important reason, not for KZfaq content! Your channel reinforces my view that if you can afford it, pay the extra money for a comfortable journey with adequate rest and the minimum of hanging around public transport hubs. In general they tend to be unpleasant places. I travel from Leeds to London a lot (Tottenham fan), I always book in advance (so much cheaper) so a 1st class ticket can be cheaper than an 'on the day' standard fare. Complimentary food and drink, first class lounge at Kings Cross... lovely!😁

I'm a subscriber. I would also say hello if I ever saw you on my travels!

Franfurt ish -Hahn Airport has recently been bought by Swift Conjoy who aim to deliver "concept upgrade and turnaround of distressed or under-performing assets across Europe." I think Scotts journey comes under this remit.

you got howth on a good day on the way into Dublin. If your stuck in Dublin for a long time again a local bus to the nearby town of Swords for food and drink. Its only 10 minutes away from the airport

Loved this video. Absolutely captures the experience of budget travel !

Hugely wry and entertaining as ever Scott

Next time you have so much time at DUB, there is a pub about 5mins walk from terminal 2 that serves excellent food and of course a great pint. It’s keelys, a gastro pub. Leave the terminal and walk to the right, towards the Radisson Blu hotel, pass the hotel and the pub is in front of you.

Great video Scott - I am definitely putting Malaga on Spanish cities to visit list.

His Scott I am new to the channel and it's brilliant I can't put my phone down beats emmerdale any night

Imagine enduring a journey like that and realising you've arrived in a dump like Glasgow.

Glad to say I watched this epic from the comfort of my bed 😉

Hahn airport! Growing up in the area that airport never made sense to me, other than putting a military airport to use. The general infrastructure in that area is so lacking that putting an airport in the middle of it was always going to struggle.

absolute trooper i thought my wifes recent 5.5hr stop over connection in boston was bad. this is on another level

The journey is the adventure ❤😂

Yep a long way home but well worth it for your subscribers and loved the lights of Glasgow. Look forward to your travels on here/

Love the videos First !

Glad you made it. Great video.

I have never been on a plane and I probably never will, but I like these informative video's a lot. Seeing this one I am more convinced that my way of travelling during daytimes (train, ferry and a connecting bus/tram/metro) is the best choice for me. Most times it is certainly not the cheapest way to get at my destination, I know that, but I like it.

Great video. Never flying on them

Nice one. Scott keep. Them. Coming 👍👍👍😊

Another interesting video! I stayed in the Dublin T1 Lounge a few weeks ago and I had a good visit (though I didn't have to pay) but that Burger King in DUB can be quite bad experience wise. Love to see you do an easyJet flight in the future, loved watching the German travels!

That was entertaining. I don't know why you gripe on about Ryanair seating policy! They offer a middle seat for free. You opt for a free seat that will be a middle seat. Their booking system obviously is programmed not to put passengers who pay for seats next to freeloaders! Sounds a win-win to me... The marketing is excellent. Persuade people to pay for a better seat. Your solution exploits the flaw in the system, saves money and you get a window seat anyway. Of course not everyone wants a window seat. Some just don't like to see how high up they are. Also the widow seat usually has limited leg room due to the curvature of the aircraft body. And a window seat means disturbing two other passengers when you want to go to the loo.

I love watching your travels you should have a sub title The Frugal Scott You remind me of my beloved Papa ( grandfather) who was born in Blantyre in 1906 and emigrated to New Zealand aged 18 months He was a hard working plain speaking man who would often call me Lassie

I’m in Ceuta at the moment so haven’t had a chance to watch yet, but I imagine it will only strengthen my desire never to fly Ryanair again :)

Brilliant well done: The pleasures of air travel.

It's bonkers you had to go to that effort to get home, but you saved a heck of a lot of money. Great channel btw - been a subscriber for some time now.

Highly enjoyable but painful !- my company tried to save money once by sending me from Manchester to Gatwick to wait all day for a flight to the Channel Islands- I lost the will to live after four hours walking around the building site that was the terminal !

What a marathon! Knackered just watching the video.

Love your videos. Mid 80's lived in Frankfurt, used to take tram , mainline train and bus to my workplace. Everything ran bang on time

I am right now on a 30 hour Odesa to London journey. First leg is a 16 hour Ukraine Railways Odesa to Przemysl, Poland, then in the morning, Polrail to Rzsezow, then Ryanair to Stansted, NatEx to Stratford and Elizabeth Line home. I am currently just a few miles from Moldova. Probably could see it if it wasn't dark. Odesa is further from London, than New Zealand, by quite a margin. I pity anyone riding this train stock on the TransSiberian...

Great video about the reality of air travel. I felt exhausted just watching it all, and I thought Cornwall to Aberdeen was a long trip 😂

Brilliant Vid. You have some stamina alright. Well done.

Just found this channel and I love it!

awesome vlog as always scott really enjoy them.

The long layovers are the killers! Easily 10 hours at Istanbul.

cracking adventure.

I don't know how you can drink so much coffee? It plays havoc on my bowls. 😂

My best journey was from Dublin to Sajevo Via Istanbul, Belgrade,Sajevo Sajevo , Belgrade, Milan, Eindhoven, Manchester. Dublin. In 3 days 188 euro return. I'm still knackered 🤗

I've watched quite a few of your videos now so I guess I should subscribe... That is a crazy journey you did there. I don't think I could make it, I would not be able to stand on my legs when I arrived.

I’ve just subscribed so hello to everyone

Love your videos, entertaining and interesting. Thank you.

I sympathize with the Frankfurt Hahn stuff. Have had to deal with that joke of an airport several times. I've now resolved that I'll only use it on the departure or return alone of a trip, and treat myself to regular Frankfurt for the other leg.

Good One sir.... you kept yourself cheerful in spite of the difficulties..

Brilliant video once again, always look forward to your uploads!

Awesome video from Alan in Lowestoft buddy

Hello SCOTT always look forward to your adventures 💟

Blimey, 78m away. That’s like having a secondary airport for Birmingham in Manchester or Bristol near enough

You’ll be surprised at numbers of homeless at uk airports. I slept best part of 6 months at Heathrow (pre covid) I called it hotel Nero in terminal 2 and also terminal 5 allowed it

Would you not have been better taking Eurowings, Cologne to Edinburgh at around £25 and under 2 hours or Ryanair, Dusseldorf to Glasgow via Dublin around £35 and under 6 hours ? With your € 9 rail ticket it would also save you money ! And yes I am a subscriber and enjoy your stuff !

Thanks Scott. Whats next brother?

Nice one Scott Love your videos 👍👍👍

I was exhausted just watching this! 29 hours is harsh to say the least. Well done 😵

Great video scott I don’t know how you kept awake but well Done 👏👍

What a mad video! You are amazing putting all these efforts into your videos!

Wow, what a looonngg trip. The things you do for us. 💙💙

Hello~ I will subscribe. I remember using Dublin Airport lounge for the sole purpose of shower... I remember the lounge was pretty minimal.. I was traveling from Burlington VT, USA to JFK, to FRA to DUB, to MAD. Strange itinerary but it was cheaper to take the LH to DUB, then Air Lingus to from DUB to MAD on a separate ticket than to take LH from JFK to MAD. Actually, I was on my way to Japan but the reason for stopping in Madrid was to see someone that I had met in Sydney, Australia six or seven years before and had lost in touch but miraculously found on LinkedIn or something. From Madrid, I flew Qatar Airways via Doha to Tokyo. I had 7.5 hours in Doha and I was supposed to be on the "Transit Passenger" bus but I decided to get out and got on the "Arrival Passenger" bus and got out of the airport. I had a good time in town, had dinner, sat in a coffee shop, visited art gallery, souvenir shops, strolled along the water, etc.

Thanks for sharing, saves me the trip, 😉

That was real madness....

As long as the lady wasn't dusting the cakes at 5.45

Great video(s), Scott. I once got a flight(s) from Vancouver to Glasgow for around £300, with what I thought were stops in Calgary and Nova Scotia. After buying the ticket I noticed it was layovers, it took me three/four days to get to Glasgow in all. I would not recommend 24 hours - midnight to midnight- in Calgary Airport, it's nice enough but not for 24 hours. Least I got to wander around Nova Scotia.

Once had to travel from Aberdeen to Esbjerg via Glasgow Heathrow Gatwick Frankfurt Billund... Took nearly 24hrs when the direct flight is under an hour.

Alot of traveling for you,

nice one,,,,,,, brian d.

Very enjoyable video, cheers. Now a subscriber

Great vid as always

Cracking video

Superb

Great video again👍🏻

Hi , how are you ? Very useful video and really enjoy .

Scott, this is above and beyond the call of duty. I do think you need to some nice train/bus/boat timetable challenges to relax :) Keep up the good work PS. I'm a subscriber

better you than me !!

Hi Scott really good video hopefully your subscribers will grow which they will. How was your Burger King kindest regards Paul in Kent

This video reminds me of the IT Crowd episode when they went on holiday.

Great video. Well done to anyone brave enough to have two Ryanair flights in one day!

great video scott. Enjoyed it as always.

The bus to Hahn used to call at the HBf and then Frankfurt main airport before heading off to Hahn does it not do that now? Hahn might be a long way from Frankfurt but at least is srtill in the same country which is good for Ryanair.

🍁You are more adventurous than me Scott! That was brutal i could not have done it. I would have paid more money and gone from A to B. 🤦‍♀️🤣🤣

I grew up near Frankfurt, but I`ve never been to Hahn. Applied for a job there, years ago, but got rejected. Maybe not so bad after all ;) Like following your trips!

Fair play to you. I would rather stick pins in my eyes than do a journey like this.

Great video love your energy

Plan a week ahead and you could have got a flight from Dusseldorf to Newcastle for as little as 60 Euros, Metro into Newcastle Central station and straight up the East Coast Mainline to Scotland.

Very entertaining. Thanks.

Interesting. I used to fly Ryanair from Glasgow (Ayr Prestwich airport) to Hahn directly. Didn't know the connection doesn't exist anymore.

Love your videos, keep it up, you are tireless, how do you manage .

Your videos are quite amazing and informative. I am from India and will be moving to Belfast soon. Then I have plans of touring Europe. Your videos will be handy. I am a subscriber btw.

Kealy's pub is 10-15 mins walk from where you did the video in Dublin Airport. Lovely pub full of locals and airport staff, very nice staff there and way cheaper than the airport. Standard Dublin Bus ticket to city centre is €2.60 each way.

What an exhausting trip. I don’t trip I’d do that.

Maybe I misunderstood/misheard but during the day you can get a return to Dublin airport from the city centre for much less than €25! The hassle is an 1hr + sometimes there and back on the local buses.

Love the videos and as a KZfaq channel in the early days I know what you mean about subscribing view percentage. It’s no better 95% of my views are unsubscribed. Anyhow I have subscribed because I love travel. And if you love pizza give me a try All the best Mat

The "difficult way" from Frankfurt to Glasgow is called the "Luftwaffe".

Great adventure, what would be the train (ie comparison pricewise) Frankfurt - Glasgow, it might be more relaxing. Hope you had a beer when you arrived home. Cheers.
