(Video) Westray to Papa Westray flight

I tried to book this flight when I found I was free one Saturday afternoon in July, but they just laughed. Booking ahead is definitely recommended, well in July anyway!

They must have to get clearance for takeoff and landing at the same time.

what no secutry check

We took this flight last summer - it was a blast - I timed the actual flight at 90 seconds ! And we received a commemorative certificate.

Flying around the islands is a very friendly more relaxed experience than regular airline flights.

For example at Kirkwall, we checked in and then sat down with a coffee; after a few minutes wait someone from the desk came over and said "Hi Mike and Alison, we're ready to go if you are" This just doesn't happen in JFK or T5 Heathrow!

Wrapping up the flight briefing the pilot said " ... and if we have any problems we'll just come back to Kirkwall and have a cup of tea" - Brilliant!

Not much chance of your luggage ending up elsewhere either! In fact if needs be you could go back for it.

Great video. Almost makes you pine for earlier times

It reminded of my early flying days on single engine HT2 aircraft. It is beautiful & short video and I liked it immensely.

I think the pre-flight safety briefing is longer than the flight.

No time for for IFE or dinner then? Great video. Thanks for sharing.

hey...it's paved!

Dang it, I had just reclined my seat and then the captain asked me to return to the full upright position... :(

I wonder what the ticket price is for that flight..

Flying from La Paz to Santa Monica, we would stop for fuel (cheaper) at Mexicali, to to Calexico for customs. Left the gear down and it was about 20 mi. or less than 10 minutes.

How would you like to be the pilot that uses that route to build your hours. Cool video.

First time I've ever had the patience to watch a video covering an entire flight from takeoff to landing!
