Ever since Ryanair had that attitude of openly treating customers badly. I haven’t used them once. I’d rather pay a bit extra to use another airline than Ryanair. I’ve never had a problem with Jet2 and sometimes British Airways were a great price.
Ryanair and Stansted...what a combo! I flew a weekly commute with Ryanair a few years ago and found it pretty exhausting because they'd never leave you alone for more than 5 minutes. Whenever you were just about to nod off, they'd pester you again with sales of food, drinks, perfumes, lottery tickets... first the loudspeaker announcement, then another visit by cabin personnel. Cheap and punctual (which was why I used them) but fun free which is toxic if you repeat it weekly... And Stansted...well...the user ratings say it all, don't they?
In1947, I was 17 and living in Ralston and travelled with the youth club on an outing from Glasgow ( Renfrew) to Edinburgh and return the same day in a BEA DC 3. This was my first ever flight. Little did I realise that 20 years later, I would be flying a BEA Viscount on an almost identical route from Glasgow to Edinburgh and onwards to Aberdeen.
A man after my own heart - forget the direct flight, find me a connecting flight with a long connection any day. Don't understand the 'no filming' stuff though, seems to be more prevalent these days but makes absolutely no sense at all! Great video as always Scott, and really handy to see the reality of Covid checks. I can't wait to go international again, but was waiting till all the faff was over!
Hi Steve. I was speaking to someone at Glasgow Airport recently about filming, and there is no hard and fast rule on photography or videos. As long as I don't film staff, passengers or airport infrastructure which could be seen as security-sensitive, staff are expected to turn a blind eye - as long as it's for non-commercial reasons. That's a grey area when it comes to monetised RUclips videos! Having a black camcorder on the end of a selfie stick obviously attracts some attention, and so I'm just asking for trouble. A mobile phone is more discreet, but my phone quality is not up to scratch. In regards to flights I recently found a fare of £25 Glasgow to London Stansted, but in involved a 36 hour journey flying Glasgow-Krakow-Oslo-Zagreb-Stansted.... for 25 quid! Krakow required an 8 hour overnight layover at the airport, and the connection at Oslo was just 1.5 hours (too risky between low cost airlines) and there's still that wee problem called Covid and arrival/departure health requirements. I think it's still too early for these crazy adventures, but in 2022 who knows. 👍
@Planes, Trains, Everything Scott That was the original Dublin airport teminal was the most important pre-war Irish building in the International Style. Designed by a team of architects within the Office of Public Works led by Desmond FitzGerald, the design was more or less complete by 1937 and the building completed by 1940.
I’m a teenager and I was split up split up from my parents my mum was on her own in the middle seat on the way back I was put on the emergency exit row and was told I had to move because only over 16s could open the door there. They must have a very good computer system
Pity, your wandering around, if you had of headed down to the end of the road and onto the Swords Road literally at end of walkaway to the terminal there is a pub called Keelys they do really good grub!
All flights into Stansted from the Common Travel Area (ROI, Isle of Man etc) will use bus transfers. This is because you enter a part of the terminal where you go through customs but not immigration.
Interesting journey and I will be doing what you did this June, but on flybe 2.0 via Belfast City Airport to London Heathrow. It costs me only £45 in total from Glasgow to London. Great video again and I enjoy watching. You have a new subscriber
I think I may have mentioned before - if you want to call Stanstead "London" then you may as well call Berwick "Edinburgh". Stanstead is well half way to Cambridge. Anyone thinking of flight bargains, first needs to factor in the travelling costs from such an outlying area in the countryside, into the capitol.
Only recently come across your channel and watching quite a few of them to entertain me. And I thought I was a whinging b*****d...lol. You crack me up but in a great way, so keep up the superb work and look forward to more whinging on your travels.
I think Stansted should have a way to get there on cantacless. Gatwick does and that's further outta London. Oh well Have you been though Gatwick or Heathrow before?
Yes, and no-doubt you haven't included the costs of getting to an airport that's at least just as near to Cambridge, as it is to London (I know the area), AND then there's your end in Scotland which you'll know all about, as well. I reckon that if you were to leave Euston, your train would already be well into the Midlands, probably Manchester, by the time your plane takes off.!!! If you find Euston expensive, go from King's Cross and get a local cheap ticket from Edinburgh directly to your home station in the Glasgow area.
Should have taken the opportunity to have a couple of hours in Dublin. That's what long layovers are for. In fact, my favourite use of connecting flights is trans Atlantic flights from the US and working in an overnight and a day in a random US city for free.
If you buy a through fare with a connecting flight, you are often allowed a maximum of 24 hours at the connecting point before it changes from a 'connection' to a 'stopover'. European airlines are great for that, and I've managed to squeeze many mini city breaks over the years. 👍
Interesting to see how you got through. Security has had staffing shortages recently and their delays are getting better as they recruit more staff. Unfortunately community tab doesn’t work with iPads only desktop.
I drove from my house in Cambridgeshire to Stanstead in Essex in an hour today. And back again in 50 minutes. It's got next to bugger all to do with London. Wanna go to London, fly in to Gatwick or Heathrow.
Never been on a Ryanair flight in over 15 years, since they left us stranded in Hamburg when they cancelled our return to Glasgow flight, due to (fog) but others landed and took off, took a day and a half to get home, as Ryanair only issued us with a slip of paper telling us, to basically make your own way home, disgraceful, so a day and a half later, after a flight to Bristol and a hotel and another flight the next day to Glasgow, and £600 down, ruined a great weekend, finally got refunded about £26 as ryanair deducted fees and taxes from the flight price, so never been back and i never will fly on them again.
Ryanair has an enviable safety and punctuality record. Others are a distant second. Quoting one flight 15 years ago as evidence of abandonedment is a pathetic piece of "evidence". Ryanair is so successful that its being copied by other airlines. Is it the fact it's Irish?
I flew Ryanair the first week they were in business back in the 80's. They had no planes of their own but chartered aircraft from Romania complete with pilots. They were a tight assed outfit from the get go. I remember their inflight snack was a cup of tea or coffee with a small packet of biscuits, or a soft drink without the bikkies. They ditched the Romanians after they missed the runway at Cork airport, landing on the grass instead.
@@baseballfan99 I flew Aer Lingus from Faro 9 days ago. They took off 45 minutes late, one toilet was out of service; 160 passengers, and no food. Never happened on any Ryanair flights I was on, 50+ flights.
Quick question that I have often wondered. If you are flying from one UK airport to Heathrow, or one of the other airports around London, do you need a passport. The reason I ask is, I do not have a passport and thought on some occasion I might fly to London instead of going by some other mode of transport. Great channel by the way.
I was booking a flight from Belfast Int to London Heathrow. 14.5 hours??? I can 3.6 hour ferry and drive there quicker. Easywet ( because they will always dampen your day) BFS to Glasgow to LHR what was all that about. Decided to stay at home.
you'd be embarrassed to put that plate of food in front of your dog.perhaps a trip into Dublin city centre would have been a better idea to soak up the time. Would have cost about thirteen euro for a return ticket. Lots of places to eat some real food there!!
I guess the cabin crew have been instructed to look out for people who have changed seats after take off. They might not catch everyone, but they'll get enough. I guess, knowing Ryanair's business practice, they'll offer you the chance to pay an upgrade fee, otherwise they'll make you return to your allocated seat!
@@davidspear9790 It also depends on how many people are in the plane. I flew to Belfast during the 2021 summer when the UK still enforced 10 days of isolation to anyone coming from their stupid list of "yellow nations" and there were like five other people with me on the plane. It was basically free for all, I've never switched my seat just because I accepted to sit next to the emergency door so I was already comfortable enough.
I despair with airport police and security. Do they really think that someone openly carrying around a camera like that is a security risk? If they stopped to think about it, they would realise that any would-be terrorist or other criminal would be using a tiny camera worn on their clothing or bags, that is so small that they'd never notice it. It used to be said it was a sign of getting older when police looked younger; now I think it's a sign of getting older when police are getting less and less competent.
Also how many genuine tourists take a quick photo with their phones while in the airport. It amazes me that those paranoid security people think that phones are ok but a camcorder isn’t.
that is why it is the world's worst airline in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love what the owner of Ryanair says "if you don't like flying with us, fly with someone else" You get what you pay for.
Ever since Ryanair had that attitude of openly treating customers badly. I haven’t used them once. I’d rather pay a bit extra to use another airline than Ryanair. I’ve never had a problem with Jet2 and sometimes British Airways were a great price.

Happy sitting in the middle seat on Ryanair flights given the low prices I paid when I flew them 3 times last year. Keep up the good work!

You look quite happy to be on the move again.

Beyond the call of duty on this video , airport food AND Ryanair , I admire your dedication !
the terminal 1 building you filmed was actually opened in 1940
Pity, your wandering around, if you had of headed down to the end of the road and onto the Swords Road literally at end of walkaway to the terminal there is a pub called Keelys they do really good grub!
8 hours...I thought you were flying via Budapest.
Pity about the Guinness pie. Kealys Pub and Restaurant 10 minutes walk from the terminal in Dublin Airport. Good grub. Maybe next time.
Thanks

4:13 I’m more amazed that Ryanair need to tell people how to add hot water to coffee granules. “Revolutionary”.
You had time to go into city for lunch.

true but a coach into london is 1h and costs £7

Great watch 👍
Hi scott, do you have a patreon? Ive watched all your videos and want more!!!
Ayyyy i saw that flight i was on holiday in Brodick
Good video but minor comment. The shadow phenomenon is called a ‘Brocken Spectre’ (meteorological). Other terms are used though.
It's an airline, a business, and it's rapacious.

30 euros their 30 back 20 euros for a meal, ye great logic there

I dont see the point in this🤷♂️🤷♂️
Can they stop you from moving from your allocated seat? How would the staff/cabin crew know or care?
