ZANTE! Travel Day! Fly With Us On A Tui Flight As We Return To Zante!

Right, it is approximately 4:00 a.m. and we are finally after two years returning to Zanti on a two flight this time. Not a jet one cuz just because I’m still a little bit drunk. We did have a few drinks last night and I’m a I’ve got a little bit of headache. Um but yeah, we’re going on a tour flight into Zanti airport. The start of another series. So yeah, let’s get inside, check in, see what the airport’s like at this time of day. At this time of year it is the third. No, it’s not 29th of August. It is busy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It is quite busy. There’s a lot of people about. Ridiculously busy. But it is the 29th of August. And for the next week, we’re going to be filming so many videos. Hopefully taking you through to about Christmas time. We’ll see what happens. But yeah, let’s get inside, checked in, and uh relax and try and cure this little hangover we got.

[Music] So, our ride to the airport. Poor Gaz has now been charged twice because Kate left her phone in his car like an idiot. She only realized cuz it disconnected from a watch. Anyway, it’s really busy. So, we’ll show you about Project police deployments occur unannounced at various locations across East I mean I must say it’s a bit of a coincidence the last time we were flying to Zanti we were here hung over about this time in the morning that was at the Maui less said about the Maui the better by the way but I’m not nearly as bad as last time. I am a little bit drunk. What? I am a little bit. Shut up. Chill up. Yeah. So I think you can really tell the price difference between 2, which is rammed, and then you got Jet 2, which is empty. To me, that says a lot about the price differences between the two companies right now. Um, so we just checked in. We have got what is it like half 4. Yeah. So we probably got about an hour and a half and we still need to get through security. This is like the latest we’ve ever left it really is it? But it was busy as well. We for a long time and with Tui you don’t get the um you don’t have to go and weigh the cases yourself and do all that yourself. You still get like personal service with them which I like. Right. So to say how busy it is, security was actually quite clear. We only waited 10 minutes. Really 10 15 minutes. Not bad at all. Uh but we are now in Kate’s favorite place which is obviously duty-free. So how much of things going was our usual tipple? We check them. Let’s have a look. Excuse me. Sorry. Uh last time down that’s gone down 90 per bottle of smoke. Uh room. Well, it’s all changed on it. Yeah, it’s all moved about. Uh it’s over here. And so is the room. The room has also gone down. Uh the room’s gone down. That was That was 1250, wasn’t it? 12.99. Okay. So, vodka and the rum has gone down by 90p. So, go on then. Just the one. Yeah. I’m only there for a week. What? Well, okay. Oh, no. Is it on mix and match? So, you get two vodka. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, prices have decreased, which is interesting. Thank you, mate. I will try and win £100 for my basket. So, yeah. Uh, it looks like alcohol prices have actually reduced, which I’m quite surprised with actually cuz it’s usually increased, isn’t it? So, 129 anyway. It would definitely It was at least £1250 last time. £1250. £1250. I thought you said £450. No, I didn’t say £450. No. So, let’s get these paid for and uh find some food cuz I’m actually starving. Right. So, we got about 2 hours of take off. Duty free. Completed it. Uh a bottle of rum, two bottles of vodka for about 35 quid. It’s now meal deal time as well. We’re at Boots. And you know what? This is the most stocked I’ve seen it for a very long time as well. I’m going to get a chicken and stuff in. Uh probably some cheese and onion and a Dr. Pepper. My usual. Let’s go. Honestly, never seen it this busy. Pub all the way around. Yeah. Yeah. Right. So, me deals got um we’ve now got according to our boarding passes 55 minutes until the boarding gate closes. So, I’m not even sure we’re going to have time to get food cuz it is really busy. We’ll have a walk through. I’ll speed up a little bit as well. Um, I mean, the Yard Brewery down here by Castle Rock, that’s the busiest I’ve ever seen it. That is I mean, I know it’s the middle of the summer holidays. I’m not complaining about it. I’m just saying it is really busy. It’s one of the busiest I’ve seen it for a very long time. I mean, there’s even people in JD. There’s never people in JD J. There’s never anyone in JD. That’s how busy it is. Uh, are we on the board? No. No. Not yet. No, we won’t be anyway. Yeah. And then as well really really busy. There’s this is honestly I can’t believe how busy JD is. Who’s going who’s going on holiday going? Oh yeah. I forgot to get some trainers or wear some. Doesn’t happen, does it? Uh I want to go and try pork and pickle. Last time they didn’t have bacon. I’m really hoping they are cuz I’m so hungry. Well, look at his lunch. Yeah, packed. Everywhere is just so busy. We might have to have the meal deals now. But yeah, everywhere. It doesn’t look that busy. The queue is not that bad. The restaurant is busy itself. What do you want to do? I bet Frank is well. busy busy. Yeah, Frankie Bennett is really busy as well. Right, we’re going to have a bit of a discussion and decide what we want to do and we’ll get back to you. Right, decision made. And for the first time in a very long time, no beers before the flight. Honestly, we’re so hungry. And uh food is taking priority today. So, we’re going to get a bacon cob hopefully from pork and pickle. Then we’ll skip the beers. I know, but needs must. So, bacon cos here. might be £745. You get five rushes a baker or any bigger. Yeah, £74. You get five rushes per bang though, which is good. Uh so yeah, so two bacon two. Yeah, two bacon, right? So that was uh in total £175. £225 for a little bit of tomato on one of them. That’s a big extortion, is it? His receipt anyway. So there you go. I mean, I say it’s extortionate. It’s also an airport, so you kind of expect the extortion. You don’t um I’ll get back to you when we dig into this. Right. Pork and pickle. It’s been a while because they didn’t even have bacon last time. I mean, what kind of pork and pickles that? Um it’s massive though. You do get a lot on it for the price. I will say that much. It is good though. It is really nice bacon. You’re disgusting. Oh, come on. You’re right. Who has the fat on the bacon? Who eats it? And who leaves it? I eat it. I think it’s the best bit. Kate thinks I’m a Trump, but come on. Comment down below who has the bacon fat, who leaves it. Right, we’re going to eat these and then hopefully because we don’t have long here, it should be time for morning. Right, so we’ve got about 20 minutes until our gate is full. 20 25 minutes. Let’s have a look upstairs. See how busy it is up there. I mean, imagine it’s just as packed as it is down here. We’ll take a look at Kaser Rock. Anyway, show you around. The bar’s not that busy, but there is not a spare table at all. I mean, it’s packed over there. That is busy. But yeah, the bar’s not the bar’s like a pretty quick wait to be fair. It’s not a long wait. So yeah, I mean obviously this is still classed as high season, so obviously everywhere is literally it’s run literally everywhere. Um, we’re just going to wander around, try and find somewhere to sit really. There’s a few seats here we could probably sit at. Well, it’s all romped off though, so I don’t know. Don’t know. But yeah, honestly don’t know why we insist on drinking a day before travel day. Absolutely ridiculous. What knobheads we are, right? But yeah, no, it is what it is. Can’t wait to get there, though. Got a lot planned for the rest of the day as well. So, it really wasn’t a good idea, but it’s fine. We’ll be all right. Right. So, gate called and bang on time as well. So, all in well, we should be taking off on time. Now, tell me what Jack is from. Uh, we’ll see though. We’ll see what happens. Right. So, here we go. Literally the break of dawn and by 12:00 Greek time, who’s dawn? Who’s So, literally by 12:00, by 10:00 a.m. English time, 12:00 p.m. Greek time, we should be landing in Zantio. I honestly can’t wait. I’ve been waiting 2 years to go back. Obviously loved everywhere else we’ve been as well, but I don’t know. There something about Zant. Where is this plane? That is like, have we been deported? Looks like we’re getting deported. What is that? That’s not a chewy plane. What is it? Don’t think we’re allowed back. All right. Okay. Bye, guys. Yeah. Well, we’ll come back soon when we boarded and got sorted in our seats and stuff. Anyway, Right. So, it’s a plane that looks like you’re going to get deported, but inside actually looks like a two plane. It’s got all the right colors and stuff and the neon light around the seat. Sweet. So, it looks like a two plane on board, but it also looks like we’re getting kicked out of the country. Um, obviously window seat secured. There we go. So, yeah, there’s also not a lot of leg room here compared to I mean we are used to flying with J54. Not this time. I’ll let you know the price vlog. We’ll do the hotel review. I’ll let you know how much we’ll see available. If you are seated, I’m joking. I’m joking. I feel like it’s going to be a long flight because the leg room is so severely little and I’m an average height bloke. I’m like 6’2 and there’s literally just no wiggle room. Wiggle room. I like that. Yeah, it’s a good phrase. He’s got like the tiniest amount of leg space. I don’t even Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So much more than you. There’s still a lot more than one. Yeah. But suck it up though, don’t you? I mean, you got more on jet 2, but they also charge about mortgage worth more. It was about £400 more. It was. Yeah. So, so the same holiday barring the 45minut difference in takeoff time charging £400 more. I mean, you can’t you can’t put £400 on leg room cuz it wouldn’t be worth it. But there you go. So, I’m not complain. I’m not complaining. I’m just like giving the first impression of the actual plane that you know the deportation plane that we’re on and then you don’t even get I’m not that impressed. I need to start line dancing. You start line dancing over yeah oh yeah of course. Yeah yeah yeah. So Kate has won the inflight lottery. When I say that when when I say that I mean there’s me there Kate and then there’s nobody. How do you feel about that? You can like stretch out. Yeah, I can. Oh, I’m getting leg. You got a window? I’ve got a window seat, but I’ve got no leg room. I mean, you’re more than welcome to sit at the window if you want to film. I’m busy. Oh, she’s busy. About to leave already packing. Come with me. I’m not really asking. We’ll get away to a place where we don’t know [Music] about to see the world in action. What we can be life with no distractions. We’ll get away. This is what we waited for. [Music] Take my hand. We’ll make it somehow. We can’t miss out. I’m done living life with the lights. I’m done with my own doubt. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Not looking back. Eyes on the freeway. Bonnie and Clyde, a classic cliche. We’re on the run. This is what we waited for. Take my hand, we’ll make it somehow. Heat. Heat. Heat. [Music] [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Hey, [Applause] [Music] let’s go. [Music] Heat. [Music] Heat. [Applause] [Music] I saw your mama just the other day. She looked glad to see me again. Do you remember when I used to come over to your house every day? Still remember the smell of your car when you drove me down to that lake. Felt so good staying up all night. That will forever be our place. And I know it’s been a long time since we were together. There’s a special place in our heart that’s yours. Forever. If I could fly, fly right back to where I belong. Fly right back to my home sweet home. If I could, I take it all back. Take it all back and fly high up above the open sea into another destiny. I close my eyes and I’m back in your arms. Back in your arms I fly. [Music] Sometimes it feels like you just want to run. It’s easier than facing your own doubts. But they will get you no matter how far you go. I don’t see it every night. I tried so hard to forget what we had. But then something reminds me of you. Do you remember the necklace you gave me? I wear it every day. And I know it’s been a long time since we were together. But there’s a special place in my heart that’s yours forever. If I could fly, fly right back to where I belong. Fly right back to my home sweet home. If I could, I take it all back. Take it all back and fly. High up above the open sea into another destin. Close my eyes and I’m back in your arms. Back in your arms. I fly. I [Applause] if I could fly it back to where I belong. Back to my home sweet home. If I could, I take it all back. Take it all back and fly high up above the open sea into another destiny. Close my eyes and I’m back in your arms. Heat. Heat. Heat. [Applause] [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] And just like that, we are back in Zanti. But we got to get through obviously border control. We’re going to get the cases and we’ll take the transfer to the Macedonia hotel. The good news is it looks like it might be the only flight here. So, we shouldn’t be waiting too long to get through passport control and it’s just a case of how long the bags take really. Um, let’s have a look. Passport controls quite quick. Uh, it’s just a case of baggage now, is it? So, wait for the bags to come out. It might already be loaded. It look like they’re still loading off the plane one. Just going through passport control though. So, we are Which one are we? Ah, where we’re this one here. Shoot. Do you want to go to Do you want to go there? And I’ll wait for the boat. Yeah. Or what? Let’s sort this out. Let’s sort this out and we’ll get I’m sure this seems quite different to last time. I could be completely wrong, though. Uh, I’m sure we mentioned on our last sanity travel day video that it was actually really quick. Parts were quick. Uh, passport controls were quite quick. South. So, we got everything. Let’s get out, get to the Macedonia, wrap this baby up. So, we over there, babe. So, a bit of a surprise. Uh, we’re not on a transport. We’re in a shared taxi, which is different, but don’t mind. Straight there, is it? So, no messing about. It’s good. Follow the leader then. Okay. Heat. [Music] [Music] Hey. Hey. Hey. [Music] Right, we have made it. Hotel Macedonia Calamaki.

  1. How brilliant this video came up on my feed….staying in Macedonia hotel myself a week Sunday for 9 nights. First ever visit to Zante. Looking forward to the next video, but got to wait a week??? Grrrr 😉

  2. Love a bit of EMA my local airport. You are right, I like Jet2 but feel they are starting to out price themselves, especially for us solo travellers.

    Macedonia is a second home to me. I priced up both companies. Even with seats and upgrading my luggage to 25kg, TUI came in just shy of £400 cheaper than Jet2. TUI gave me a massive £150 solo traveller discount compared to I think it was £30 with Jet2. No contest really. Countdown on to next May on. Looking forward to watching rest of the series 😃🇬🇷✈️😎

  3. Great travel day guys 😊we stayed in Kalamaki about 10 years ago ❤ TUI planes are so tight on space and we are Jet2 100% …….but £400 difference….no brainer 😮 We always go away at Xmas to Albir, and to fly Easyjet and book hotel direct was £350 cheaper than Jet2 …. Their popularity seems to be a price rise ☹️🤔

  4. Love watching your travel videos, we came from Tenerife last month it was amazing and even done some travel day videos, for lots of memories for our 8 year old son, we flew woth TUI they are so good and the staff are fantastic, so we've booked again for next year in June for our 10th wedding Anniversary. Hope you have a great time xx

  5. Anyone who is that intoxicated should be removed from the flight, people think they can drink and then just sleep it off on the flight with no regards to any safety whilst flying. If there was an emergency evacuation this woman would hinder other people and become a safety risk. Trouble is folk like this don't give a dam, flight crew should of spotted this and removed the person.
