- I spend too much time on website Skyscanner, so imagine my excitement when I found an airfare for £7.99 one way Edinburgh to Billund, Denmark. The following day there was a return fare available for just £13.00. There was a catch however. It wasn't a direct flight, but required a connection in Turin, Italy. This itinerary was booked in seconds. I wasn't too interested in seeing the home of Lego, but I did want to return to my spiritual homeland of Italy, and to find a genuine Italian pizza.

love Ryanair £9.98 each way from Stansted to Norway. Once there you need to win the lottery to survive
I live in Turin, you could have taken the bus that runs every 15 minutes straight to the city center 🙂 and yes usually in Italy the restaurant and pizzerias are open from 12 to 3 pm and from 7 pm till midnight 😅
How much does that bus cost?
I travelled often to Turin on business in the early 1990's. I felt your pain when it was so near but yet so far. You've inspired me to want to go back very soon to visit. I love your unpretentious vlogs Scott. RUclips is full of vloggers so far up their own backsides whinging about there only being 6 options to eat in the exec lounge or there only being two USB charging ports in their business class seat. Please keep it up.
Hey Scott. I'm an Aussie, and my dad was a Scot from Dundee. I married an Italian girl from Chieti, Abruzzi. We've been married for 56 years now.
Just before the Covid-19 outbreak we spent two weeks in Scotland and two weeks in Italy. Checking out our roots you could say. Well, we fell in
love with both countries. Both beautiful in their own unique ways. Unique scenery and unique people. But friendliness everywhere in both places.
We're happy to be home again in Queensland, Australia's north eastern state. But our lives have been enriched by our trip to Scotland and Italy.
I only found your channel a few weeks ago and im hooked! I like your easy going fun style! :)
It's nuts to think that it costs about £3 more to travel from Edinburgh - Denmark - Turn - Edinburgh than it does to travel Paisley - Edinburgh - Paisley :|
Scott you might consider getting a Priority Pass ( pass for airport lounges ) which would make the long layovers substantially more comfortable. Standard pass is £69 , and a fee for each lounge visit .
Amazing what you do for viewers. Great content!
Really liked the flight deck announcement before departure!
I've enjoyed your travel videos Denmark to Italy then Edinburgh. Seemed a waste of time as you didn't see anything apart from Airport's. I loved the idea of the cheap flights and I was really excited to see what the places where like to give me ideas of where to go for short breaks, however I'm going to follow you to see your next adventure 😊
Really loved this video so apologies for long comment! Low cost connection time? I always go 5 hours minimum. Sounds excessive, but I’ve had times when it’s just enough! On your trip - sleep deprivation is torture eh!? And I hate it when airports don’t give a walking option to exit. I had a similar problem at PMI recently but just walked along roadside anyway :) fantastic video once again Scott, was looking forward to that one and it didn’t disappoint!
Hey Steve, surely a collab video with you and Scott is in the pipeline?
@@pkjlr77 2nd this call for a collab, imagine a nice length (45 min?) video of Scott & Steve travelling on a train/bus/plane, and just having some great chat about their many expeditions over the years!
Agree on the longer transit times are better. I’d rather arrive early and get a drink and a meal at a cafe than have to run, wonder if my luggage makes it and have heart palpations over it all and then sit on the next flight sweaty.
Only found your channel a couple of weeks ago and absolutely love it mate. Keep the brilliant content coming please ❤
Hi Scott, I only stumbled across you a few nights ago and just love your videos!! So relaxed, and fun !! This episode was amazing (price-wise) and how fantastic going to Turin! I am a former Brit but now living in Canada, and it blows my mind seeing how low the fares are .. there’s nothing like that here of course, so I certainly miss that. All we have to do though is to get ourselves back over there to the UK and start taking advantage of those low flights. It’s been three years since we were back, so it’s time to get booking and packing, lol 😊
I'm not surprised you did this journey for £21, being a Scotsman . Looking forward to many more of these type of thrifty hops to strange places , joining the dots solely by cost criteria.
Enjoyed the trip, thanks for taking us along!
Brilliant, Enjoyed the video from start to finish. Thank You.
Do the Skyscanner “cheapest flight from” challenge. One flight everyday, one night in every place, for 7 days straight. See where you end up. Some RUclipsrs get deep into Asia. Game?
Noel Phillips ended up in Kathmandu after just 4 flights.
Is there actually a "Cheapest Flight From?"
I did Aarhus a couple weeks ago. £23 return from STN. Denmark is hideously expensive. Chicken nuggets and fries at Burger King £11.50. The bus from Aarhus airport to City Centre costs the same as the flight from London.
It's the same in Norway. But I love visiting the Nordic countries so I just take the prices on the chin.
@@michaelkobylko2969 I know. In 2016, I did Copenhagen, Malmo, Stockholm, Oslo, and Gothenburg all in one week. Could not afford to stay in any one place because of the prices of everything. I can say I have been to these places though. Check them off the list. I am looking at flights into Artic Scandinavia next month. Maybe even Svalbard. Thankfully, Denmark, Norway and Sweden aren’t playing the Covid Nonsense game and so they get my business. France, Germany, Italy and Spain, can suck on their gimp masks, not going to any of them while they are playing that game.
You went to Denmark and went to Burger King? You would have been better getting a bøfsandwich from Havnens Perle .
@@hislatestflame7861 I'm not adventurous. I stick to what I know.
Maybe something to do with it taking only slightly less to get between Aarhus and Aarhus airport than it takes to get between Edinburgh Airport and Glasgow city, and just go to a hotdog stand next time rather than an American chain.
Absolutely loving these Ryanair vids 👍
Great video.I love the way you can make what may appear humdrum so interesting!You just have that knack.Originally from Scotland myself I now live in Trieste.A genuine Italian pizza is a work of art!!
What's great about your vlog and others you have made is showing us just how frugal one can be when spending on a mini holiday. Thankyou!
Fantastic video..thanks Scott.
Great video.... Interesting and a calm, informative presentation style which I love.
I enjoy travel videos and yours are brilliant.
Keep 'em coming!
Cheers
Phil
Scott, you need to come back to Italy, maybe spend a month. A lot to see in Italy. You can try different foods and show us. 🥘🥘🦪🦪🥗🍕
Thank You so much for a most enjoyable video
Wow!! This was by far my favorite video
Mi piace molto i tuoi video Scott, your videos are always a really good watch and find them fascinating, and I am also in to Travel & Tourism so these are just ideal for me, keep up the great work and I look forward to many more.
Hey, been watching your channel for a while now and it's great, all your adventures and you really give great info on the best and not so ways to travel! We've made use of your recommendations already for booking coaches and certain seats. This video is great and just highlights there are mega bargains out there to be found, absolutely incredible. Life is all about adventures and travelling and you've got it down to an art, awesome to see the places on you adventures. I have to say, Glasgow / Edinburgh to London on public transport would be epic to experience 👌😅
Awesome movie!
Regards from the Netherlands.
Really enjoyed that, what a bargain. I can never find these kind of flight prices.
A few years ago I flew into Billund airport on the same flight as Andy Bell of Erasure, it was memorable because as we approached the runway to land we suddenly shot up into the sky again, turns out the plane that landed before ours had hit some birds as it landed so they had to delay our landing a few minutes while they cleaned up the mess.
Great video even if you missed out on Turin. Given how expensive things can be in Denmark I would not be surprised if the food and drink cost about the same as the rest of the trip. Great shot of Locarno. I can highly recommend staying there after taking the very scenic railway through the mountains from Italy.
Great video. Totally inspiring !
I had a flight change at Billund once - did the same as you, walked around the town for a short while then relaxed in the airport overnight
Thanks for another great video Scott
Love your videos Scott👍
Certainly not on my bucket list is legoland but I could be persuaded to go to Milan but not for the pizza but to watch the footie
Well done - you kept your cool despite having travel plans and pizza plans scuppered! That was a bargain price for all the mileage, and an interesting challenge. You need another trip to get that pizza though.
Nice journey we enjoyed.
£4 return to Berlin is my best one yet...it cost £30 to park at the airport.
From?
@@davidwebb4904 East Midlands, 2016
@@jonjohnson2844 Best I have done was London to Montenegro, £5
Hilarious. Scott these videos are great to watch. Keep them coming.
Hi Scott, loving your videos. I have done a few"silly" flights for very little cost. Recently was Aberdeen to London via Dublin. Looked today and there was a Stansted to Aberdeen via Aarhus and Gdansk for £23 but like you would have to spend a night at Aarhus. I will keep looking.
I love Italy too, probably favourite country I’ve ever visited. The people are nice.
I really like all of your vlog thanks.
I really like your vlogs, scott. I wish we had a cheap no-frills airline here in eastern Canada.
Thanks !
I'm from Glasgow and love traveling too. Been watching a lot of your video content over the past week and really enjoying them..... going to feel sad when i'm all caught up! Thanks for all the good content. Me and my girlfriend do many similar journeys and our most recent was Edinburgh-Copenhagen-Malmo-Copenhagen-Ilulissat-Kangerlussuaq-Copenhagen-Edinburgh.
For low budget check-in and security we always give is three hours just in case the queues are long and troublesome (pre-warning to you if you ever fly out of Copenhagen!)
Wow you done all that at a penny a mile, it’s costing me 25 pence a mile to drive my car, madness, great vid.
You hit the jackpot with the seat going home!
No Lego on your shopping list then Scott 😂. Love the videos you make, keep them coming.
Great video Scott, really enjoyed watching it. Totally exhausting I would imagine well done though
Very interesting when traveling I always have a plan b but watching this I will need a plan c/d and e as well
Another cracking video!
Very entertaining!
Middle seat challenge ? Would be interested to know!! I have never connected low cost but guess I would give it 4 hours... Great vlog again
This is amazing for the price Well Done Bud.
Enjoyed the video I would not venture away if I was looking at the time for the flight I would stay close to are port
I was part of the dfds world record lego build a few years ago, all depots in europe contributed by everyone building a block out of lego pieces. All the blocks were used to build the biggest lego ferry. They brought it round all the depots after it was built on a trailer and displayed it at each for a week. If its not at the dfds headquarters in denmark anymore, it will be there at that legoland.
Nice video, good work!
Wow great, Scott.I never see offers like that, I must be doing something wrong 😂
amazing value for money! two great locations for £21 😲
Fantastic video buddy 👏
Done some camping just nearBillund then took the kids to Legoland nice trip
Love the video Scott, even though we didn't see much of Turin apart from the airport. That pizza will have to wait for another time 🍕 Connection time with low cost airline 🤔 Not sure I would even consider it tbh, certainly no less than 6 hours like you did for this video.
great video
Hello Scott. You chose my morning joe bench for your Netto breakkie. Hope you enjoyed it! 😀 I am really enjoying ur vids, so keep ‘em coming. Greetings from Denmark. (btw Billund is basicly a village that years ago expanded a lot when they built the airport and Legoland. Otherwise….naaaa nothing to see and quite boring. Nearby town of Vejle is much nicer.)
If I were transiting (which, as an Australian, I've only done twice domestically), I generally would allow a minimum of 2 hours (but that's if it's on the same ticket). I'd probably allow more if it was a Ryanair format of two separate tickets. In either case, as an aviation geek, the longer the better for me not just from a buffer point of view, but it also allows more time to plane spot.
Great achievement Scott. As for LCC flight connections I say it depends on the airport and time of year so m out never to aybe three hours or more. However I believe these LCCs will have to change the way their seats are marketed. A number of airline experts are saying that flying ought never to be sold so cheaply and as the current airport congestion has shown airlines need to pay airports higher fees to enable (airports) to provide better ground services.
Venaria is where one of the former Royal palaces of the house of Savoy is located. And, even though I don't live in Italy any longer, I can assure that Domino's pizza exists in Italy (but the average Italian wouldn't go there)
Skyscanner is my addiction
nice video brother love a cheap flight or 2
Awesome video buddy from Alan in Lowestoft
Ty for a awesome video buddy from Alan in Lowestoft
Tip: if you're able to, try and get access to a departure lounge if available (by legit means, of course.) I've snoozed for a few hours at night in one of these and was able to use an airport shower. It was Dubai however.
While here in Australia you're lucky to get a one way fare Melbourne to Sydney (the busiest route in the country) for close to what you paid for the round trip
Love the attitude got the book i want you to get the pizza
Some Italian taxi content from the Turin airport could have been fun! That would have been the Everything in your title.
Great price Scott
Had a feeling the pizza would never happen...interesting trip though and a bit of humour from the Malta Air co-pilot 🇲🇹
Working class British parents in the 00's: Less LEGO, more Netto
Wow, that’s a bargain and a half…. I’m going to have to start watching SkyScanner too.. 😂
Any plans for Part 2 of the pizza quest? Quite want to try this myself now :))
Great video
used to travel this way some years ago... at mini-budget:) Hilarious!!!
Legend.👍
you're a madman homeless urban camper and we love it
I once took Ryanair to Bilund from Brussels South Charleroi, I went to that Neto supermarket and visited the place around Lego Theme Park, a few hours after I took the Ryanair flight to Gdansk. I like your videos. Carry on the good work!
Next time then take a bus(43 or 143) from Billund to Vejle (5 pund)..There you can buy a night in a hotel for around 50 pund. See Vejle is ok because i am from Vejle!
Amazing the value you can get if you’re prepared to research and happy to sleep in the Airport. Wonder what a Hostel cost in Billund? Great video mate 👍 Personally I would leave 3 hours minimum for connections.
Maybe a lot of it's Lego Land season, that's basically the main thing in the village, although you can take a 40 min bus to the beautiful city of Vejle
Top marks for your determination! Roughing it at an airport never fun... To borrow and alter a joke from tv show 'Friends': Danish pastries..... known as just pastries to people in Denmark 😁. I know Turin well from going to watch Juventus a couple of times before. Italy is a wonderful place, but also a very frustrating place with red tape, last minute closures etc. I am still haunted by the time a short notice train driver strike left me stranded in a village near Mont Blanc needing to get back to Milan that same day to catch a flight... Many buses followed to get back to Turin, then a bizarre train journey which was running, but they would not sell me a ticket to Milan due to the strike, although the train stopped at Milan! I had to buy a ticket to the destination of Venice, and just hop off at Milan! Italian bureaucracy is baffling.... The Lingotto ex-FIAT factory hotel and the new Juventus hotel are both on my list for a stay one day.
Brilliant st
I will always assiciate Billund with the last flight of AN-225 Mriya before it got destroyed in the war. RIP.
When I was a kid Billund would have been Lego heaven for me. Wouldn’t be so keen on it now...
Your lucky the planes ✈️ weren’t cancelled like EasyJet. I think the days of these low cost airlines are going to go after the chaos at airports
Get that Italian pizza 🍕 next time thanks enjoyed its crazy cheap flights ✈️ not a big air traveler myself
Scott, are you planning on (or have already done so and I missed it) traveling the Ghan or the Indian Pacific in Australia?. I guess neither fit with the rest of your trip criteria, but just wondered.
Try a longer flight longhaul. For a very cheap price if you can find one. :)
Your quest for a pizza reminds me of my first time in Scotland my mission was to buy a Scotch pie from a Scottish person i brought my pie but the person was Greek
They should call the country :Legoland.The Italian part of your journey was Kafkiaaans.
Not sure about Turin but I got a pretty awesome pizza at the airport in Napoli so I would have had high hopes for other Italian airports.
Brilliant, I had a similar experience some years ago.......Went to Milan on a business trip, on the evening of landing, thought it a good idea to go out get an Italian beer and pizza,. However, religious festival on, most places closed, saw a sign for a café bar, went in for pizza and beer, no pizza served but they had, Tennent's Lager, Tennent's Export, 70 shilling and Guinness. The following week ended up in Blackpool went to Italian "British" restaurant and managed to get pizza and pint of Peroni. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
There is an amazing italian scottish cafe in Hillhead.
