Flying Dundee to Belfast City onboard a Loganair ATR 42. Includes a peek inside the flight deck!

Рет қаралды 81,920

Жыл бұрын

Welcome to a day of firsts for me and the channel - FIRST departure from Dundee Airport, FIRST flight to Belfast City (George Best) Airport and FIRST time on an ATR 42. What an exciting day :)
This is all part of my long journey to Rathlin Island, a place stuck in my mind since I saw it from Scotland, down at the Mull of Kintyre. This adventure is already on the channel and well worth checking out if you haven't seen it already. And following this one, there will be a video on how I got how to Scotland again, look out for that too!
Flight Details:
DND BHD 23Aug 13:15 14:25
Total price inc tax and seat selection (seat 2D) £58.51
This was not a sponsored video and I paid the full fare. I did however email Loganair before travelling to request filming permission and flight deck visit (based on my last regional flight with Eastern Airways where it all went wrong) :)
Hi, I’m Steve, a travel reviewer from Scotland. Join me on my adventures as I discover my own country, often visiting places for the first time, so hopefully it's as much of an eye-opener for you as it is for me! Don't expect expert opinion, just a very honest journey of discovery. Sometimes featuring my intrepid sidekick Alicja, sometimes featuring adventures beyond the borders of Scotland. Enjoy!

When you get off the train for George Best airport from Bangor, you cross the line and down the other side is a standing area with a phone handset. This is for calling a wee man in a people traveller who will come and get you from this location to take you safely across the airport grounds to the entrance. It could only happen in Ireland 😂😂

You can walk from the Roey in Broome Western Australia to the Airport, check in and then phone the pub to see if they'll pick you up and take you back to the pub when the flight to Perth is inevitably delayed by a few hours.

I spent my undergraduate years moving between Belfast and Dundee but always via Stranraer and then the train north or the plane to Glasgow/Prestwick. Flying directly to Dundee in 40 minutes seems a very civilised way to make that long journey. I'm sure that wee plane could be filled many times over at the start and end of university terms, although student luggage might be a challenge. (Glad you got a coffee. BA sometimes can't serve me one on an A319 between BHD and LHR before we're over Birmingham.)
