I Flew on a Lynx Air... A320?

For the last couple of weeks, you may have noticed this blue and green Airbus A320 operating out of Calgary International Airport. This plane belongs to a relatively new American charter airline, Global Crossing Airlines, also called GlobalX.
Due to more 737 MAX delivery delays, much like last year, Lynx Air has wet leased this single Airbus A320 for the summer, exclusively for some of their US flights out of Calgary.
This presented a rare opportunity to fly this American charter carrier on a scheduled flight - and I took it!

Oh yeah Jet Lag is brilliant, sad the current season is almost over, already cant wait for the next, it really is interesting all these random flights you find keep this random but exciting journeys coming, especially stuff like that multi stop ones

[@P0WREM]

yeah

[@astro_josh]

Nice jet-lag shoutout!! I think you should be the next special guest 😄

[@marcusdamberger]

12:43 Tom Scott video on phone, nice to see you like some of the same channels I do. I'm guessing no surprise for other plane spotters and aviation lovers. 😉 Thanks for this unique trip report. I suspect your right this will eventually be a footnote in the history of both Lynx and Global X and won't likely happen again.

[@cdsmrailaviation1099]

Tom Scott rep on the second flight! Such a wholesome guy!

12:43 "I am in an Alex Praglowski Aviation video... sort of"

[@maxd2005]

Globalx just started a airline called Red Way, in the USA. They operate as Nebraska as their base

[@jcbaily5559]

I don't understand why they would serve only water when they could charge for other beverages? I don't think I would want to fly with them!

[@AQWorldsRay]

12:13 - WOW! Glorious shot!! Best one in this video imo 🤩

[@nolanono2532]

See if you can book Toronto to Manchester! Air Canada is currently leasing a 767 from Omni International. I've serviced the aircraft a few times and the interior is...unique!

[@MattCook206]

great find and video! thanks for taking us along

[@HenrikRBX]

I love your videos! I love aviation and this is the perfect channel!

[@thetravelchannel9062]

Good video as always hope fully we can some more exotic airlines in the future

[@sync3034]

great shot of the city center!

[@PLANEMANIA747]

This livery is really cool!! Engine view 😍

[@sebsaviationyyc]

Nice video, I really hope they extend the time they're flying these to YYC later into September, as I am headed out to BC and haven't got the chance to spot one yet!

[@donnayhz3568]

Another great video Alex! I am the type who would book a flight just for the fun of it, the experience as well! Your videos always bring me joy!

[@helloitsbrian]

Had to check -- I knew one of the VA A320s I had been on back in 2019 was now with GlobalX. But I was on 627. Almost! Thanks for the video, Alex!

[@goodtimes474]

wow amazing view of downtown los Angeles on the arrival

[@Aman.Chauhan01]

Great vid

[@steventravels4035]

1:25 yea, since I’m a US Citizen living in the states, the exchange rate is the primary reason why I visit Canada so often

[@ILoveQazaqstan]

Yo I just recently flew into and out of Calgary via WestJet from IAH (Houston). First flight for my night in Calgary, I flew economy, we had refreshment service 2 TIMES on a 4 hour flight. The return flight, I was in Premium, and we had a great meal (the plates were plastic or cardboard-like though)

[@gcorriveau6864]

180 seats or 179? ;-) Maybay one is kept open for an extra Flight Attendant position? ...

[@venomoushamster2270]

The A320 just sounds so powerful!

[@artemsingkh2286]

I am also into the aviation myself

[@shareair3748]

Great vid!

[@shareair3748]

lynx air a320 looks weird lol

[@lonistewart3405]

Oh, that buzz!

[@SkyHighGuys]

Most intriguing.

[@michaelbruchas6663]

Thanks!

[@RDAviator]

thats nice

[@apa182]

JETLAGGGGG THE GAME!!!!!! Best show on youtube!!!

[@SAMIAMFNX]

yay new vid

[@TawanMomo]

Jet Lag needs to invite you to one of their future series soon

[@EmersonHaensel]

Same thing with Jetlines & Flair. They currently fly their A320s from Toronto to Halifax and also to Quebec City

[@donnayhz3568]

I’m booked for a flight from Halifax to Toronto mid August, I’m really hoping that route is still serviced by the A320. I’ve never flown on an airbus plane before.

[@TheRealJazz359]

I didn’t even know Global X existed!

[@Sammysaviation]

The new carrier RedWay, based out of Lincoln, Nebraska, also charters GlobalX Airbus A320-200s.

[@richardp1522]

Alex hi from Stampede your GlobalX (Lynx) LAX short turn around was a great mini adventure will most likely only appeal to lovers of aviation. Any reason to hit an airport and fly somewhere is good enough. Prior to retirement I used to fly at least once usually twice a week for business ya I miss it most think I'm totally nuts. Sometimes I'll just go to YYC and wander around for a few hours then stop off at the viewing area to get my fix. Round that out with your channel and enthusiasm, thanks.

[@andreworiez8920]

Hi Stampede (assuming Calgary Stampede) from Frontier Days.... One cow town to another, Go Stampeders from Cheyenne, Wyoming.

[@supericeman1]

I also flew in and out of gate 209A on Allegiant Air, FSD-LAX-FSD and was lucky to fly on the insomniac jet back home

[@Hoovie9596]

Yeah I live in Calgary. I was wondering what airline this Global X was

[@user-ce7ri3yn9c]

This Global X carrier is one strange beast. They also contract with EU outfits with US registered aircraft. How all these low cost carriers can manage it is a real mystery, but then AC is so expensive and service so lousy there is plenty of appeal. As always your videos are excellent, keep it up.

[@P0WREM]

Rest in Peace Lynx Air

[@thomask9895]

Tui Airlines Netherlands also leased some of Global X’s A320 aircraft for the summer period.

[@Obesi-D]

I hear so much bad stuff about lynx. Some good info is nice to hear.

[@stanleovart]

I am same kind of avgeek like you, Alex. Doing many flights just for a flight - because of rare plane type, or direction or airline. Sometimes indeed crazy flights😂😂😂. And also filming that, doing videos for my KZbin channel. You are inspiring me a lot! Thank you! And welcome on my channel too! :)) 🎉

[@JojoBarrientos]

4:45 top right aircraft... IS THAT WHAT I THINK IT IS (either a C-130/CF130 or similar)

[@RealSaulGoodman78]

Hi Alex

[@Big_blue]

Hey Alex quick question for plane spotting on your website for plane spotting spot 2 for 17L arrivals and departures there is a sign when you get to that spot and it says No Tress-passing I’m just wondering if you can still plane spot in that spot?

[@republic_8116]

Nice

[@aimbotefly222]

amazing video as always, those engines views, on what camera do u record???

[@aimbotefly222]

i saw in a video that u used a gopro, i was curious what model u use

[@Patrickair4444]

Hey, make a trip you put on on Air France and Delta Air Lines

[@alexichayer3329]

JET LAG IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!

[@jonathanchester5916]

My daughter suggests you stop at a dollar store for snacks and save a bundle. Over the course of a year those 10 buck here 10 buck there will add up to a free flight 😄😄

[@AlexPraglowskiAviation]

Wise words, I was running a little behind that day unfortunately haha

[@marcwenger9424]

Wooooo Jet Lag!

[@jessemillington5988]

Very cool, I am not sure how they can't tell you are a plane nerd... I will get you a shirt that says, " I like having just Plane fun".

[@weaksauceaviation3506]

Cool

[@Michael_Livingstone]

I’ve seen these planes at the airpot and wondered what’s up with them. Here’s my answer.

[@thomassharp2719]

Will this airline fly to SMF in the future ?

[@OwlRTA]

tfw you mention the show "Jet Lag": *points at video a la DiCaprio meme*

[@bonknessmonster]

Theres one globalx a320 in a tui livery.

[@VisualApproach]

Some dedication to the cause spending that long on a fairly generic A320! 😅

[@you_want_some_gamer8553]

I’m surprised, flair airlines hasn’t paid their bill for there 4 737 at CYLS Barrie lake Simcoe regional airport. C-FLKI C-FLKD C-FLRS C-FFLA

10:59 - "Not the softest, but do get the job done." I think I've seen McDonald's chairs that are cushier than those...

[@andreforcier97]

Did they do bilingual announcements? How was Canadian customs & immigration on arriving back? They give you any strange looks?

[@AlexPraglowskiAviation]

No bilingual announcements but I don't think that's a requirement for foreign carriers (though maybe there's some technicality I don't know about). No issues coming back either lol

[@herthadynasty4160]

oh gosh reaal uncomfortable scary noise??? is it "normal"😮

[@Major_Minecraft_Gaming]

Hi

from the outside nice from the inside oh pls no

[@goldydas8886]

Is Lynx is legit, we should go or not?

[@Clark-Wang]

My uncle's family was supposed to be on the flight a few days ago. Flight got delayed by 3 days. And the replacement flight got delayed by an additional 2 hours. Don't fly Lynx guys.

[@kenbarthSimAV8tor]

How do you afford to fly so much? Appreciate your posts eh! Stay well!

[@AlexPraglowskiAviation]

The ad revenue from these videos!

You watching his videos certainly helps to fund his addition! 😂

[@davidedutremblay5050]

Is it me or are your videos getting more boring …?

[@wildbill6676]

Good video Alex. Lynx air by this time next year will be gone. They are not making money and people are not flying them to support the routes. The present ceo is leaving soon and the parent company is just trying to make it through the summer season. AVOID if you can but before you go to the airport go to Dollarama and load up on low cost snacks. (Except liquids) This type of lowcost flying is rapidly dieing and must come to an end. People are opting for more ontime minimal cabin service instead of low fare then gouge you air service. Lynx is to much bare bones service. Some Wifi eh ?

[@patrickpick3091]

Beats WroughtJet

[@bulandkhan1089]

Alberta faces reduced mountain snowpack and below-average precipitation, leading to record-low river levels and threatening southern Alberta's agricultural sector. The government has authorized its Drought Command Team to negotiate with major water licence holders, aiming for significant reductions in water use. Irrigation, is a major water user in the province with Alberta having the largest irrigated area in Canada. Yet, the province of Alberta, like rest of Canada, is importing immigrants in massive numbers. Overpopulation due to unrestricted & non-stop mass immigration will create the same environmental and social problems so common all over the 3RD World. #MassImmigration NEEDS to be halted COMPLETELY.
