SUN AIR: The Best Airline No One's Heard Of | Dornier 328 | London City to Billund | Trip Report

Today I'm reviewing a very unique British Airways flight. It's operated by a franchise called Sun Air of Scandinavia, and they're one of the few airlines in the world to operate the unique Dornier 328 Jet.
This airline is also unique in how great the service is with a full meal service on the short flight from London to Billund, Denmark. Though it comes at a huge price with one way tickets usually costing over £300. Luckily you can book with Avios so this flight cost me just £0.50!

It was a pleasure having you onboard 😀

[@saintuk70]

Do like the small jets.

[@yaronsteinbuch3956]

Amazing meal, especially on such a short flight. Really solid service.

[@brian402]

Gee that Dornier 328 is like a rocket in its take off roll, what a step fast climb., you got a pretty good spread of food there i see. ✈👍Awesome flight review there dude!, was nicely presented / very professional too.

[@freddiesflightreviews]

Thanks for watching! And the Dornier really is like a rocket, sounds like one too.

[@dylbanan140]

super experience! im impressed

[@yaronsteinbuch3956]

I obliterated the like button and subscribed like a maniac!

[@freddiesflightreviews]

Thanks! That is music to my ears

[@armychap007]

What a fantastic experience! The Dornier 328 looks interesting to fly on. It's a shame you ended up with a seatmate but I hope the excellent inflight service and friendly crew compensated for that. I can't believe that Billund airport has so much connectivity for a town of 7,000 people. I'm envious! Thanks for the teasers for your Lufthansa videos, I'll definitely watch and no doubt enjoy them in the coming weeks.

[@freddiesflightreviews]

Thanks for the support armychap007! I definitely recommend it just for the novelty and if you can wrack up a few Avios it can be quite affordable. It's always fun to find out such a small unheard of airline is so great. And just to build even more excitement, I have flights with SAS, Ethiopian, Etihad, Qatar and Icelandair in the pipeline. (spread out over the next 4 months or so)

[@kimbolarsen1081]

The reason why the second busiest airport is located whereb it is, is because it serves half the country by being pretty much in the middle of jutland. All "major cities" in Jutland are located by the east-coast thus far away from the large parts of the rest of Jutland. Billund is right in the centre. The. airport was founded as a private airstrip for the owner of Lego! Quickly SAS saw potiential in the location, and it grew fast into the second busiest airport in Denmark. @@freddiesflightreviews

[@freddiesflightreviews]

@@kimbolarsen1081 that’s good to know. I’ll admit that before this I didn’t really know much about Denmark besides Copenhagen. And various bits of Viking history.

[@geoffh2560]

Great video thanks! Is that plane related to the Bae 146, looks really similar to a novice??

[@freddiesflightreviews]

Thanks for watching! As far as I can tell they are completely separate aircraft. Though the Dornier 328 was built just over 10 years after the Bae 146 so perhaps they used it as inspiration?

[@AnNguyen-tp2vi]

Wow definitely never heard of this airline 😮

[@freddiesflightreviews]

Now you have!

[@careygrant8697]

Obliterated the like button? That's a new one to me! Also, I thought cockpit doors were supposed to be locked in flight??

[@freddiesflightreviews]

You could also eviscerate the like button, or annihilate it if you wish. And the flight attendant was giving the pilots some food, which is one of the few times I think that cockpit doors can be opened. It was locked the rest of the flight.

[@strawdio]

I have one question is this aircraft and route operated by BA cityflyer cabin crew or Sun Air cabin crew?

[@freddiesflightreviews]

Sun Air cabin crew, so they’re all based in Denmark

[@strawdio]

@@freddiesflightreviews Ahh right! Thank you,
