The Shortest Scheduled Flight in the WORLD Leaves From Here and I'm Booked On It! BUT...

I travelled from Montrose all the way to one of the most northern of the Orkney Islands, Papa Westray, to fulfil a dream of mine - to fly the shortest scheduled flight anywhere in the world. The journey to get here involved a train, a ferry, an overnight stay, a couple of taxis and another flight, not to mention a few hours on an almost deserted island on a Sunday afternoon. But is it all in vain? Join me as I attempt, not for the first time, to fly this record breaking route with Loganair...

Hi, I’m Steve from Scotland. I plan, film and edit travel videos both at home and throughout the world, with all the work done myself. I try to go a bit beyond the normal tourist route, exploring less-visited places and would be honoured if you'd come along as well. But please don't expect an expert guide, if that's what you're after, this is probably not the channel for you. What you WILL find here though are my 100% honest impressions of what I see along the way, albeit as a layman. And I always believe the star of any video is not me, but the places I visit. I hope this comes across and you can feel like you are there with me. Please remember to subscribe, like, comment, share, all that stuff if you enjoy my videos (or even a thumbs down if you don't!). I make a conscious effort not to say this in the videos themselves, but it would be a massive help to the channel and open it up to bigger audiences around the world. Oh, and who's that with me in many of the adventures? Well that must be my glamorous sidekick Alicja (who features as often as she can). Thanks for watching and enjoy the video :)

FAQs:
WHERE ARE YOU FROM?
I was born in Glasgow but have lived in Carnoustie, Dalgety Bay, Stonehaven, Edinburgh, Montrose, and further afield (Salamanca, Spain & Devonport, New Zealand)
WHEN DO YOU UPLOAD?
Saturdays at 10am Scottish time. Occasionally a bonus midweek video will pop up.
WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU USE?
I film with a GoPro11 and my iPhone12. I edit on iMovie and use epidemicsound.com for music. I also use canva.com for thumbnails etc.
WHY DON'T YOU SPEND LONGER AT DESTINATIONS?
The usual suspects I'm afraid - time and money! Hotels especially these days make my eyes water like a true Scotsman.
WHERE'S ALICJA?
Alicja will feature as often as possible, but I'm afraid she has a proper job so it can take weeks for our schedules to match up.
DO YOU PAY FOR YOUR OWN TRAVEL?
Yes I do. I've only ever accepted a complementary ticket as compensation for a previous problem. All my opinions are frank and honest reflections of travel as I experience it.
WHY THE ADS?
It's my income, I can't do this for free.
CAN I CONTACT YOU?
I used to list my email address but felt bad not having the capacity to respond to everything so took it down (and I got a LOT of spam so missed many genuine messages along the way).
HOW CAN I SUPPORT THE CHANNEL?
Watching my videos is of course support enough, but if you'd like to support further, I'll pop links below for Paypal and Patreon. All kind donations are super-appreciated and will go 100% towards future filming trips.
DO YOU ACCEPT SPONSORSHIPS?
I don't like to upset the flow of my videos, so I don't even include mid-roll ads anymore (at significant loss of income to myself), so I prefer not to include sponsorships either. I'm open to a small slide at the start/end of each video, but I don't want to get into talking about products, it's something I don't like as a viewer myself (especially as a viewer who pays for KZbin Premium). So it's probably a polite no, although all of this goes out the window if you offer me something which can give me the chance to make a video for my audience that would otherwise be impossible.

Interested in how I got to Papa Westray? Be sure to check out the previous two videos on the channel, featuring Northlink Ferries and Loganair. Thanks for watching!

Best part of Saturday is your uploads

[@brian84xo]

Lv ur videos 😁❤

[@kudzumoose3861]

I agree, I wake up Saturday morning and look forward to your videos!

[@HeyMJ.]

Immensely enjoyed the Orkney series. I’ve been to Kirkwall, Stromness & places in-between. No worries AT ALL about the reroute from Papa Westray. Like you said, it’s a darn good reason to return. Happy trails & travels! 🥾

[@MrJckDoo]

Pity you were unable to do the flight, but the second pilots seat?? Lovely.

[@PlanesTrainsEverything]

For me I think sitting by the pilot would be definitely worth the price. Flying the shortest scheduled air route would come a close second. A great video as always.

[@Ian-Steele]

At least Steve didn’t get arrested by the German police! 😂

[@djmark143]

What could possibly go wrong eh? 🤣😁

[@steve-marsh]

Scott you'll never live that one down :D Aye, I'm with you on that, I'd still love the flight for the channel one day, but it's an awfy long way to go for another fail!

[@thealbagalavanter9986]

​@@Ian-Steelefrom what I saw Scott wasn't actually arrested he was just taken away from some mad woman

[@josephfredbill]

A funny thing happened to us on Westray. We had booked to stay in the Pierowall Hotel and were arriving on bicycles on the ferry. If you drive there from the ferry its very quick - its not a long distance by bicycle but of course its slower than by car, maybe half an hour (cant quite remember). Anyway, we cycled down there from the ferry and when we got there they were very surprised to see us. “But we booked”, we said, to which the landlord’s response was “well, we knew you were coming and when you didnt arrive off the ferry we presumed you would arrive on Friday”. The point is, thats how time works on Orkney. If it takes a couple of days who cares - time is very relaxed there - as you found out when the flight didnt go to Westray, nobody bats an eyelid, you will arrive some time. Maybe that’s how you should think of visiting Westray .. maybe it will take a few attempts to get there :-)

[@steve-marsh]

Great story and a wise approach to island life!

[@michaelsaayman2802]

Steve it wasn't a fail and there is always another time. Thanks for a interesting video especially the Bothy museum. Thanks Steve

[@steve-marsh]

That wee place was a great surprise!

[@BethTheWanderer]

It’s never a fail when you get to see such beautiful Scottish scenery! 😊

[@steve-marsh]

Well said Beth!

[@Holagringo67]

Runway selection is determined by the direction of the wind, especially in small planes. Headwinds are preferred when landing. The shorter taxi route was just a bonus.

[@steve-marsh]

Cheers for that :)

[@roroger2402]

That was a shame you didn't get there.. but one day for sure Steve.

[@K1W1fly]

The issue will be due to "density altitude" if its a hot day. The warmer air is thinner, and therefore its the same as operating at a higher altitude. The engines have less power and the wing develops less lift, so the aircraft doesnt perform as well. If Westray is a short airstrip and the aircraft is heavy (fuel, pax and freight weight) it may not meet the legal safety margins for a commercial operation. In winter when the temps are colder, the air is denser, so this is less likely to happen then.

[@K1W1fly]

@@hanscattini468 Probably a number of factors including weight. If the atmospheric pressure was low, that would have a similar effect as well. Best results always come on cold, crisp high pressure days...

[@steve-marsh]

Thanks for shedding some light on it for me!

[@fionainnes-smith2706]

I love learning something new every day!

[@barvdw]

Especially if there aren't any scheduled passengers from or to Westray...

[@K1W1fly]

@@hanscattini468 Steve was wearing shorts, so for Orkney it would have been warmer than usual!

[@LauraGargiulo]

Oh it hasn't been a fail video, instead it's been such an amazing trip!!! I loved it❤

[@steve-marsh]

Thanks Laura! You are right :)

[@andrewdolinskiatcarpathian]

The best “fail” video possible. Gorgeous in all respects. One day you will return to experience the shortest flight, and hopefully you will take us along for the ride. 👍😎

[@heathertruskinger6214]

Hi Steve. I love the fact that the local school has a little basic exercise book... (well that's what we call them in Australia 😂)...; in a Ziploc bag, and in a tin to protect it, for visitors to sign ❤. And the "wee hoose" at the Bothie museum, full of so many interesting items. I noticed, of all things in it , the bottle of Swan Ink ! Way, way back in primary school, in Victoria, Australia, it was the compulsory ink for our fountain pens ! And I got into trouble, because my mum got me a different brand !! Now...back to the flight. What a lovely pilot you had, to take on the role of your guide as well, including the small detour to show you and all of us the sights, on the return leg ! Looking forward to when you succeed 😊

[@steve-marsh]

Love this comment, thank you :)

[@MrGeoffreoso]

I think you need to update your accommodation web site Steve. The first place you visited didn’t even have a roof 🤣Bril travel log as always. Thank you.

[@steve-marsh]

Haha that was luxury compared to my regular haunts!

[@thomaslruppert]

I really enjoyed this video because the remote and sparseness of the small villages and locations, I'm amazed to see the unique places that people live - and Steve if it weren't for you putting the effort to make it possible, I'd never get the chance to see these very unique and wonderful places people live. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO!

[@sandiandgregh]

Between Scott @planestrainseverything almost being arrested in Germany and your almost-but-not-quite flight it's been quite the week for a couple of our favourite Scottish youtubers. Not a bad thing to have to return to Orkney, really. Interesting that winter is the best time to have a greater chance at catching that flight. I have to say I loved the little guestbook in the ziplock bag in the tin, and the fact that the museum is open, unattended, with its exhibits set out, labeled, to be enjoyed independently and unsecured. That trust (that seems to be rewarded) restores faith in humanity in some ways, doesn't it.

[@steve-marsh]

Well said! :) Aye, Scott and me have had an interesting week alright! And we meet up tomorrow for a wee challenge ;)

[@john07973]

You'll get that certificate sometime, another fine video. Neat little museum. Good to see the Islander again and encouraging that Britten Norman are ramping up UK production.

[@steve-marsh]

I've got the frame ready, it still lies empty...

This sound of that plane is so soothing!🙋🏻‍♂️ Thanx for another great video!🍀

[@hunterfulghum7170]

Just means you have to go back, and that's not a bad thing. This part of Scotland is so beautiful and appealing - tho' i don't imagine I am tough enough to be able to handle the winters. Thanks Steve. And as always, AWESOME!

[@maryreid4273]

Some people definitely struggle with the dark winters, though tbh they don't bother me (lived here nearly 20 years) - the wind can take a bit of getting used to though, some days it's like constantly being slapped on the face whenever you leave the house....or at least that's how it feels!

[@steve-marsh]

True, but with the summers we get now, I think winter would be a blessing :D

[@marshallviliesis]

You deal with disappointment like a champ and make the best of it. One of the best mindsets for travel and adventure.

[@steve-marsh]

Cheers! Nothing certain in travel eh!

[@bostonrailfan2427]

you made that look easy but sitting next to the pilot is a full body clencher for me, i wouldn’t be able to move the entire flight for fear of touching anything!

[@steve-marsh]

Haha I was a bit like that too!

[@lawrencedavidson6195]

Steve, I love the care you take with your filming and editing. The end result is worth all your hard work.

Sorry you didn't get to fly the shortest scheduled flight but it still looked like a great trip. I loved the bothy museum and the island looked so peaceful and pretty. Bonus to fly up front both ways!

[@steve-marsh]

Aye exactly! I still was onto a winner with the trip :)

[@sueg2470]

Gutted for you but at least there will now need to be another visit. What an experience, your videos make me want to visit some of the islands and do some exploring. Love your content, now going through your back catalogue and have even got my 82 year old dad watching 😊

Great footage Steve, if a disappointing premonition, I admire the pilots that fly these light aircraft, that was the best take off although my heart was racing like crazy, thanks for another enjoyable flight ✈️ I agree front seat on a bus just does’t cut it! 😊

[@steve-marsh]

Haha yes the bus felt a little underwhelming :D

[@walterfillingham]

Ok, I know you were disappointed, but let’s be honest, wasn’t that the best flight ever both going there and back, what an absolute honour to be sitting right there to enjoy the spectacular views. Though I’d be terrified about touching anything! Lol I don’t have a car now, but still want to head up to explore Orkney mainland and will use the Stagecoach buses when up there

[@steve-marsh]

You're right mate, it was still a pleasure! Would love a wee trip around on public transport too, but I think outside the mainland it'd be pretty limited eh!

[@travelvideos]

2:37 I saw a similar door lock mechanism in old countryside houses in Latvia. Industrial heritage is also interesting. I wonder if it was made by some famous company and exported around the world. Those museums used to make me homesick, especially The Black Country Living Museum in Dudley

We did however make it over to the Out Skerries to watch a film in the tiny Schoolhouse cinema which I'm led to believe has now sadly closed. All the best, James
