Tip at Gatwick South, immediately after security, follow the signs for special assistance. It takes you down a corridor to the left of security and comes out on the upper level of departures bypassing the duty free which is downstairs. This is an open corridor that anyone can walk down.

[@abinamikaze]

Same for North Terminal. Special assistance now has their own lounge for north terminal which is awesome, but there is a water refill and toilets right down that corridor for everyone to use as well.

[@CalamityJames.]

That's a great tip, will definitely give this a go on Wednesday. I hate the whole "exit (well, enter) through the gift shop" mentality, although at least it's not as bad as Stansted

[@raoulfisher1867]

Are there staff checking to see if you're eligible?

[@Happy_cookie]

@@raoulfisher1867 No, it's just a corridor. I think there is a set of lifts and one of the lounges down the same corridor. It's only marked as special assistance because it avoids the escalators down into duty free and because it brings you out right in front of the special assistance desk/area in departures.

[@DTRB56]

Ashford Airport, or rather London Ashford Airport as they like to call it! Is open and operating, has never closed. The airport in your video was formerly RAF Manston. Latterly Kent International Airport. Now closed to fixed wing aircraft. But still used by Polar Helicopters as their base. I know this because I am Kent based and learnt to fly at Manston.

[@Paul_Lucas]

Just had a look at that - that’s what they renamed Lydd? Never knew!

[@DTRB56]

Exactly, far to far from London to have London in the name. Though Ashford is only 37 mins on HS1 from St Pancras. So that’s the excuse I guess. Yes Paul, that’s what they renamed Lydd. Though local people still call it Lydd. I believe there is a scheduled flight to Le Touquet, maybe a trip for you to take? :)

Another wonderful video from an unrated channel. Found this channel a few months ago looking for Spirit airlines reviews and sub immediately. Have been a loyal watcher of your videos ever since.

[@adletkhanbirtanov100]

Thanks for the video! I took Level myself on 1cent flights twice and with normal tickets twice. I found the comfort (legroom is top priority for me) outstanding for a low cost carrier, they still stick to those seats you had which I usually dont see on LCC like Ryan, Easy or WIZZ. Only their newer A320 to take over the Vueling base in Amsterdam had the vueling which I didnt find so bad. Regarding service and reliability I was allways 100% satisfied... the design... well tbh I like it, though I understand it might make a boring impression (I like straight lines and right angles 🤣). And when it comes to food: I tried their new menu this weekend and their hot Lasagne as well as cold chicken sandwich was awesome. Price €10 "meal deal" with drink and snack. Staff were allways very helpful and outgoing as I would expect it from a "legacy" airline. My friends and family have similar opinion. However I am a Vienna based traveller Easyjet doesnt fly so much here so I rather have Lauda, Wizz and Eurowings to compare to. For me EW and Level are "semi low cost" as prices are mostly higher (€40-80) than Lauda and Wizz (€10-40) which I would describe as "ultra low cost"

[@gilesrdavies]

Haha, spooky video... Sense of de ja vous! Met you on the train to Gatwick, when you was going to get this flight, and we both ended up being on the same flight too, by some coincidence! You had a bit of a small fan club on this flight, getting recognised by several people at the boarding gate. Thank you for being so amenable and friendly, was great chatting. Totally agree with you, on your thoughts about Level or at least how they seemed back in June/July last year.

[@pocho737]

Thank you very much for the excellent trip report! For me as an Austrian (VIE based) I see the problem with Level, that even now, more than one year after start of operations, they fail to be recognized as an Austrian Airline, despite heavy marketing in Vienna. They run on an Austrian AOC ("real" Operator is Anisec, LEVEL is only the brand by IAG), cabin crew and pilots are mostly Austrian citizens, many of them coming from Flyniki. On their summer destinations, they also work together with Austrian tour operators, so for Package Holidays going e.g. to Greece, it might be that the travel agency offers you a package where the flights are by Austrian Airlines. Or they are by Eurowings. Or Laudamotion. Or LEVEL 😀 But still, the average Traveller doesn't have a clue at all about them. They do know Laudamotion of course because of Niki Lauda and the troubles after AB Group bankruptcy, Austrian Airlines is the well known flagship, Eurowings is also rather common knowledge or can be explained very easy ("it's part of Lufthansa Group"), but nothing like that with LEVEL. It feels like there is no identity at all.

[@christianschiemann45]

I once flew for 1p per leg and person from STN to Bremen with Ryanair. Early morning out, late eve back. At the time the booking fee was £4.80 so I paid return for two £4.84. Pretty awesome. We aligned our expectations with FR and it became our favourite airline across Europe. With over 150 flights between my wife and I on the Irish carrier, we became big fans. Keep up the good job.

[@davidbarnett9312]

Not sure if you're interested, but Lufthansa will begin flights from Frankfurt to Austin [Texas] Bergstrom May 3, 2019. The A330-300 will be used. BA has been flying into Austin Bergstrom for several years.

[@HMSDaring1]

Existence of Level makes the British Airways product even more infuriating. If IAG has so many low-cost carriers, why do they insist in BA becoming a confused legacy/budget carrier as well? It's not like BA flights are cheaper than low-cost anyway!

[@michaelf.h8507]

HMSDaring1: I do tend to agree with you. William Walsh is the CEO of IAG. He turned Aer Lingus into low cost airline when he worked there and has rather spoilt BA turning it from a Legacy to a low cost -at least in Europe. It seems he can't get enough of low cost offerings in his portfolio!

Just recently flew on a brand new A321 with Air Canada. Love the plane and I sat in one of the exit row seats, which was great, that amount of leg room was incredible. One thing I will mention about those seats though is that since the tray table is tucked inside the armrests, they are tighter than normal seats.

[@jameswilson6096]

Hi Paul! I can't wait for your "promised" review on Aurigny in the near future. I live in Guernsey and Aurigny is our own airline! We only have a population of 60,000 people, not bad going eh? I don't think you will believe how quick that flight is from Gatwick it says on the ticket it takes 45 minutes to an hour, but you will be here in less than 30 minutes! Finally, did you notice the Embraer's registration, G-NSEY? A nice little Easter egg. Take care mate and keep up the fantastic content I really enjoy your videos.

Paul, the cheapest ticket I remember was a $10.00 one way fare ( $20.00 USD RT ) on Southwest when they initiated service between Little Rock, Arkansas ( my hometown ) and their hub in Dallas, Texas.

[@themoviedealers]

Years ago when Southwest opened up their routes to the eastern half of the US, they had a promotion where if you bought one ticket you got another ticket to any destination free. I bought a round trip LAX to SFO for $59 and then got a free round trip ticket. I was heading back to the east coast so got a free ticket to Detroit (as far east as they flew at that time) and then took a bus the rest of the way. Had a nice weekend in San Francisco but that bus trip was pretty rough, about 12 hours.

[@johannes6721]

I took the Level long howl flight from Barcelona to Buenos Aires. The flight was actually a Iberia flight operates by Level. I can't complain because the aircraft was pretty new with enough leg room and on board entertainment. But there was one thing where I wasn't prepared for, there was literally no food included which I didn't know. Although, you could by sandwiches and snacks and you got free water.

[@amc3]

Great report as always Paul, few years back I took my Dad on a day trip to Duxford for his 60th birthday, as a retired aviation engineer he always wanted to visit here. I booked Ryanair Prestwick to Stansted months in advance at 1p per seat, but I guess you beat me as 1 cent is slightly less than 1p.

[@bomcabedal]

I did get a number of free flights in fact. For my 30th birthday, my brother (who does a bunch of flying for work) donated all his Lufthansa air miles to me. That allowed me to hop around Europe for a month or so for free. Lufthansa never subtracted those miles from my brother's account though, so that was a REALLY good deal.

Hiya. Back in the day, before my life changed, I used to fly Ryanair for 1p all the time, especially to Ireland and back.

European destinations were often offered in this way, too. Those were the days. All the best to you.

[@PAXperMortem]

VIE, unfortunately, has become a dumping ground for countless low-cost, short-haul airlines: LEVEL, Eurowings, Laudamotion, EasyJet, Wizz, to name but a few. What we need are more long-haul destinations and not 50 different flights to the same European destinations. We are a fairly sizeable city of 1.9 million people and yet we don't even have flights to Hong Kong, Singapore or Atlanta! There is NOT A SINGLE US carrier that operates flights to Vienna (couple of weeks ago Air Canada became the first North American one) and there are no direct flights to South America at all. Meanwhile, Switzerland, a country of about the same size, manages to provide exciting long-haul destinations from 2(!!) of their airports! What an embarrassment...

[@shabbirnaqvi1344]

I think it's because Austrian is pretty much the only intercontinental airline based out of Vienna, and since it's part of the Lufthansa group Lufthansa prefers major flight to north and south America, Africa, and Asia to be routed through them and swiss. My home airport of Washington-Dulles has an Austrian flight only because we're a United hub. A combination of demand and Lufthansa makes it difficult to operate major international flights to non-star alliance hubs.

Nice video Paul! My cheapest flight was two years ago. Ryanair from Frankfurt Hahn to Eilat, Israel - a 4.5 hour flight for €4.99!

You made me smile with your Flight Simulator comment, been there done that ;)

I once got on Germanwings for 1p from Edinburgh to Cologne when they opened that route.

We also got the 1c flights and added another one for 25€ return. Theire logo looks like Word Art to me but overall I liked flying with them. For one return flight, we payed up for the front rows (row 2) seats and they provide you with more space than you need on those short haul flights. I also liked the USB sockets. That "Croque Monsieur" looked not too good, we on the other hand had the tapas and they actually tasted quite okay, some even really good. (Maybe the Ibera connection) Anyway, regarding the card machine, I do not wonder. We were lucky on our flights but I know those from the ÖBB. They like to break down from time to time. Interestingly, I found the crews to be one of the friendliest, especially for an LCC.

Old adage, you get what you pay for, applies....however a safe flight from point A to point B for a pence, Amazing! Carry on, Paul. Safe crosswind landings!

[@christhomasism]

Great vid as always

[@Szafran2004]

Beautiful landing

[@georgepetrin1334]

Very much like your videos Paul. One suggestion I have, you might want to add the words "You can" before "Help me out" as it sounds a little less aggressive. Keep the videos coming.

[@madwomandriver]

That was a great deal getting the flight for 1 cent, well done, how did you manage that? I had to agree about your sandwich, it really didn’t look very appetising, did it!? I fly EasyJet around once a year on their Bristol - Murcia (Spain) route. I’m always perfectly happy with them, and usually buy a bacon roll on board, which never disappoints! Keep making the videos Paul, I absolutely love watching them. I promise to become a patron on Patreon as soon as I can afford to - I’ve been out of work since last December following a heart attack, but hope to be back in work very soon!

If you’re going to Miami at some point, you should check out Brightline (soon to be Virgin Trains USA). Only has 3 stops: Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach but were given the go ahead to add tracks towards it’s station at Orlando International Airport. The earliest the station would be ready would be in 2021.

Booked three return seats with Ryanair from Derry to Glasgow Prestwick about 10 years ago 0.01 each. Total cost was 6p.

1p flight from Manchester to Dublin with Ryanair. A fair few years ago. Was amazing.

[@julzb7165]

Hi Paul, great video and brilliant value fare!

[@Taylor-wk9fi]

My cheapest flight was with Ryanair from Copenhagen to Charleroi. £2 :)

[@steventegart2249]

Hi Paul, love your trip reports, especially in the new format with voiceovers. Just a suggestion, but I think your videos would be greatly enhanced by little interludes of the places you visit, hotels you stay in etc etc. Even 60/90 seconds at the end of your reports would make them even more immersive for us!

[@antonallen8972]

Hey Paul! Great video! Might I suggest you try Air Astana for one of your reviews? They’re opening a new service to Tokyo from Astana (Nur-Sultan) in the second half of 2019, and they already have a direct flight to Heathrow. They operate aircraft ranging from A321 NEO (soon to be LR’s), 757’s and 767’s (brand new). Cheers, Anton

Cheapest flight i've ever been on was 1p with, you guessed it, Ryanair. DSA-DUB, 1p out, 1c return. I had a week off work so I booked up a weeks worth of flights. I ended up being on first name terms with the guys in passport control, surprised that I didn't get stopped and searched though!

[@janellek21]

I've never flown for one cent, but I do remember Mum and Dad buying us LPL-DUB on Ryanair for one pound when I was a kid.

[@mabs123ful]

Not familiar with Level, but budget airlines are fine as long as you don't expect too much, if Ryanair are prepared to fly me from Bournemouth to Girona for a tenner, I'll stand at the back if they want me to. Talking of Ryanair, I once flew from Bournemouth to Edinburgh, then later same day on to Skavsta, Sweden, stayed with some friends for midsummer. The return leg completed in one day was, Skavsta - Stanstead - Dublin - ( Pint of Guiness in the airport bar ) - and finally back to Bournemouth. I did all that just for the hell of it, and the total cost BOH back to BOH was £22. Those were the days. Apologies for rambling on a bit!

[@EinkOLED]

I use FR24 when observing my inbound flight. And on some occasions I've watched passengers queing up at the gate for a plane that hasn't even landed. So I use that opportunity to sit down and wait for when the boarding actually commences.

[@leflores91]

I’m impressed with their bag room. It looks far more organized than a bag room in JFK. I used to handle baggage services (taking claims for missing or damaged bags). Solely based on what I saw, it’s had to imagine a bag getting lost. 🤷‍♂️

Lucky you
