£17 for a one minute flight between two Scottish Islands
  • 2 years ago
A travel vlogger has documented his trip on the world's shortest - and technically most expensive - flight in one single video clocking in at one minute and 14 seconds.
The flight can carry up to nine passengers and operates twice a day with Loganair.
It gets people across the water in close to one minute, with the record being 53 seconds
Noel Philips, 41, shot the video flying between the islands of Papa Westray and Westray in the Scottish archipelago of Orkney - which is just 1.7 miles (2.7 kilometres).
But it doesn't come cheap and is dubbed one of the most expensive flights in the world due to its short distance and price tag of £17.
Drawing criticism from some for being unnecessary to fly such a short distance, the alternative is a 20-minute boat ride through choppy waters.
The route acts as a connecting flight to Kirkwall that helps locals to get to the more populous places in Orkney.
