    I flew this route in the 70’s BA operated a Viscount which had huge elegant windows, it took nearly a stately 2 hours, you were served a full meal, the meal trays were double the size then, and the bar came round twice, all free in those days. They also used the Trident, faster than today’s jets all British made too.

    Have to agree with the others - this is a great vid. Such a warm and cosy feel from the get-go, beginning with the 'home' feel of the Inverness lounge, airport and airfield. You also got the tone and mood just right. Good job and thanks.

    Very beautiful video of a short flight... tastefully done, as always... and of course the British chivalry... beautiful.

    Another great one Paul, really enjoyed it. You make a "boring" domestic flight quite entertaining.
    Such a shame to see the way BA is going, the one "enhancement" after the other unfortunately.
    Thanks again

    Hi Paul thanks for another great report (apart from the irritating music' but that is just a personal thing). Used to work at INV for BA back in 1983. Certainly changed a tad. If there was a lounge in those days it must have been in one of the toilets or sme such. Looking forward to the next one.

    Interesting fact regarding Inverness: there are no push back tugs at the airport so the aircraft have to taxi of stand under their own power.

  • @MrAndyse5
    @MrAndyse5 5 лет назад

    I remember when a tractor would drive the luggage from the plane and the conveyer belt was made of metal rollers, passengers would have to stand alongside and move the cases along themselves. That was at Dalcross (Inverness) airport.

    Love the aspire lounge. Your going to have to update you domestic flights with Club Europe, so we can see what you get. Great video as usual.

      Matthew Hector yea I agree there at stupid times some of them like the 22:55 flight.

  • @Mr7165

    I’m always wondering if you have to pay extra money for the food and drinks in the lounges or did you already “pay” for it with your BC ticket or your different membership cards.
    Would love to know that, because when I fly I fly only economy (Last flown in 2014)
    I love your Videos!!
    Sunny greetings from a German subscriber :)

    • @Paul_Lucas
      @Paul_Lucas  8 лет назад

      +Flying101 Sadly not. It's not a service that appeals to me - no proper lounge, no privacy in Business Class, tablet IFE, and a longer crossing don't compensate for the pre clearance in my view!

    Inverness seems to be a lovely small airport! Very interesting report. However it is very sad that you have to pay for you drinks on flights with BA. The pressure on legacy carrier is more and more recognizable I suppose. Thumbs up

  • @bushyconn
    @bushyconn 8 лет назад +1

    An expensive flight, according to Expedia!! Didn't realise that the flight path went from Inverness (in the east) over Warton (in the west ) and the back east again to London.

    • @Paul_Lucas
      @Paul_Lucas  8 лет назад +1

      +bushyconn Not that expensive - fares start from about £70 but obviously can't be found on every day. Yes all Scotland to London flights track over the west coast, turning slightly east at Liverpool towards Birmingham, then into London. (Both Glasgow and Inverness are actually further west than Liverpool would you believe!)

    Just flew Spirit airlines today. Never again, will I fly them. They charge $45 for a checked bag, and $100 at the airport for a checked bag... and the seats are hard as rocks. The tray tables are about 7 inches wide, not even..

    • @Liamshavingfun

      Never fly Spirit, it only takes one time.

    Even for Club Class, you have to pay is that true.

      They charge for a glass of water, nothings free. It will not do their already tarnished reputation any good.

      I travelled Club Europe to Prague in 2001, and the food was excellent and there was a choice of 2 mains, based around rocket salad.
