    A TRUE LOW COST CHALLENGE! I can only fly EAST, forever east. Where do I end up?



    A TRUE LOW COST CHALLENGE! I can only fly EAST, forever east. Where do I end up?

    Five or six flights, two nights, three days by low cost carriers. Where will I end up? I set myself an ‘only east’ travel restriction. One night in a hotel, one night roughing it at an airport.

      Great video! I worked out the distance from Glasgow to your final stop was about 1950 miles (not counting all the connections) …roughly the driving distance from Los Angeles to Chicago 😬 I’d love to know the total cost of this adventure 👍

      Love such challenge videos.
      I predicted Turkey as the final destination.

      The what could have been was interesting. Athens even has a low cost flight to Singapore afaik. 🙂

      Id be concerned about any pilot that would "put their foot down" to get somewhere faster since that means they'd be applying full rudder deflection for the duration.

      What a great idea for a travel video. Loved it.

      I would love to see a continuation of this adventure. I think an option would have been to skip straight over Western Europe and perhaps go EZY or Ryanair to Germany or Austria and then see if you can get to Turkey or the Middle East. From there you have LCCs that should get you to India and on to Asia. My guess is you could get as far as Asia or Australia/NZ.

      Great video Scott 😊 I have memories of flying from London Gatwick to Glasgow and return, for a week in Scotland (where I ultimately reached the Shetland Islands) while I was in England (from New Zealand) seeing relatives in August/September 2018. I too flew on Easyjet, though if my memory serves me correctly I went from the north terminal at Gatwick

      Eight and a half hours. Scott could have had a pizza… in Napels.

      No, really, I looked it up just for fun. Because of course I did, I watch this channel, I love that sort of thing.
      The flight from Lyon left at 11:25 and was 1,5h. Let's assume arrival at FCO at 13:00, Departure 20:30, all Shengen, no borders.

      Leo Express Fiumicino Aeroporto (13:38) – Roma Termini (14:10)
      Frecciarossa Roma Termini (14:38) – Napoli Centrale (15:48)

      Beer, Pizza

      Frecciarossa Napoli Centrale (17:05) – Roma Termini (18:15)
      Roma Termini (18:35) – Fiumicino Aeroporto (19:07)

      Although I suppose that would not have helped with the tiredness. Or the budget.
