Manchester to Newquay, Cornwall with Easyjet and the A320Neo
Рет қаралды 12,016
2 жыл бұрынHello guys and I have a new series of videos for you here which I’m calling ‘Airlines and Branch Lines of Cornwall’.
I flew down on this gorgeous looking EasyJet A320Neo in beautiful weather and, whilst I did encounter one specific issue with the cabin, overall it was pretty good and the usual decent standard of service from EasyJet I’ve begun to expect over the years.
Later on in the series I’ll compare this flight with the return trip back to Manchester with Loganair and their levels of service both onboard and post-flight.
In-between flights, I’ll be taking a few trips on selected Cornish branch lines and I can tell you now, there’s some absolute gems down there - well worth a visit I hope you’ll agree.
Thanks for watching and enjoy the video!
Mark

Great video! I explored Cornwall for a week with my base being in Newquay near the station. I passed Loswithiel and with all places in Cornwall, it was beautiful!

Hello Mark. I’ve only just seen this video after its been out for a year. Very well done and interesting as usual. I’m just surprised as you are a stickler for detail that you said that part of RAF St. Mawgan was handed over to Cornwall CITY Council, of course its Cornwall COUNTY Council. I think Cornwall has just one city - Truro.

Hi Phil, well I try not to get too detailed these days as I always manage to get one or two things wrong 😂 Happy to be corrected though, thanks for letting me know 😊👍

Hi Blair, thanks for the kind words and yes, subs are doing well and it’s many thanks to you guys for supporting the channel and commenting - much appreciated. It’s taken me by surprise a bit I must admit as I was aiming for hopefully 1k by the end of the year so I guess I must be doing something right 🤷♂️😂. Anyway, plan for the rest of the trip is 2-3 branch lines and the flight back with Loganair on an ATR72. The branch line to St Ives in-particular is amazing and I did have beautiful weather for it. I’m really looking forward to putting that one out. All the best, Mark

Hi Mark, thanks for the video, ut was really helpful as I'll be flying home from Uni in Manchester in July, taking this exact flight with Easyjet so its helpful to see the whole experience! To answer your question about RAF St Mawgan, I myself have taken off and landed many times from the runway in a Grob Tutor, which us ironic as I previously stated as I've never flown commercial, only in military aircraft. The base is still heavily used for training by the RAF and is mainly used by the Air Cadet squadrons nowadays as the wings main headquarters. The air vase is situated to the left of the runway as you come down, whilst the airport is to the right. Hope this helps!
@LetsMakeaTrip 2 жыл бұрын
Hi Joseph, glad I could help - nice quick flight this, I waited twice as long for the bus at Newquay Airport! Seems like quite an interesting place RAF Mawgan and a lovely part of the world to be situated too. I’ll be back down there again at some point so I’ll be sure to get a good look on approach. Cheers 😊👍

no it should be cleaned to covid cleaning standards including fogging between every trip. no excuses as covid is still a major issue. I am surprised this regional flight was not on a saab 340 or ATR 72 or Q400 as is typical in Australia on regional flights.
@LetsMakeaTrip 2 жыл бұрын
EasyJet don’t have any turboprops unfortunately. They do a lot of these domestic routes with A319 & A320 like Birmingham to Glasgow to Belfast to Bristol etc - all around half hour flights. Watch this space though Nick because my return flight is on an ATR72 with Loganair. Cheers for the comment 😊👍

As I understand it, Nick, a lot of easyJet's UK flights are used as positioning ones for the aircraft before onward travel to Europe. Or, indeed, vice versa as was the case with this rather dirty bird

Hello Mark, I am flying Manchester to Newquay on June 5th. Is there a taxi rank outside the airport or do you have to dial a cab? Airport looks small and very chilled :-) The plane should have been cleaned; it looked in an unclean state. They wouldn't have gotten away with that during the COVID year in 2021 surely?

Hi Carol and many thanks for the comment. Yes shame about the state of the aircraft but overall I’ve had a decent time with EasyJet over the last couple of years so it wouldn’t put me off flying with them again. In fact I’d still choose them over Loganair on this route. This week’s video on my return with the latter will tell you why.

Hi Holl Ni, I tend to take mine as a form of id. EasyJet specify photographic id for domestic flights so I guess a driving licence or any other kind of official doc with your face on it would be ok. If in doubt, probably best to message them on social media. Cheers.

Excellent video Mark, very informative! You got very lucky with the weather there too with some stunning views! I'm personally not at all a fan of Easyjet, and even less so now they seem to have come off the "low cost" model slightly as well to become more of a leisure airline - I would have taken them over Ryanair but not sure if I'd do the same over Jet2 or TUI.
@LetsMakeaTrip 2 жыл бұрын
Cheers mate, appreciate the kind words! I do like Easyjet and would put them above Ryanair and Wizz Air though I recently flew with both and had no complaints at all. Not sure about Jet2 - I've yet to try them so I guess I should really. Next flight with EZY is to Marrakesh which is a good long flight that one so we'll see how it stacks up comfort-wise and what sort of state everything's in by the time we get there!!

@LetsMakeaTrip 2 жыл бұрын
Yes, I don’t know much about RAF use at civilian airfields tbh - obviously St Mawgan was very much an airfield and has retained much of its general appearance. Typhoons etc, are they from nearby RAF bases where they’re assigned civilian airports to protect?

@@LetsMakeaTrip yes m8.... crews and planes get swapped from time to time from main bases I believe while some do exercises around the mac loop area in Wales ect. It always makes me judder when I hear the TYPHOONS taking off as first thing you think of is....are the Russians trying us on again to see how quick it takes us. Mind you... the TYPHOONS have also been called out to lost aircraft which sometimes happens and they use visual and radio to guide the aircraft to its base.
