As the coach was pulling away to head for the mystery destination, the driver proudly announced that the mystery destination was... Bournemouth.

Amazing city.

Did this challenge 20 years ago in the summer of 2004. My starting point was Newcastle, flight 1 to Copenhagen, flight 2 to Berlin, flight 3 to Nice and flight 4 took me to Paris. Including the flight home from Paris to Newcastle the total cost came in at less than £100 averaging £15-£19 per flight. I do definitely recommend you go back to Albania, what a beautiful country yet not really touristy yet (well it wasn't when I was there in 2017). Another great video, keep them coming.

Luton is a tourist gem that they try to keep under wraps, because they don't want it being ruined by becoming too popular.

They're still around but less and less of them, which is a shame. I still hope I might get to pilot one at some point but my chances are getting thinner. They are fascinating machines, with a (soviet copy of) Dakota engine and just massive amounts of lift. Fun fact - in case of an engine failure it was an acceptable emergency procedure to just pull up and let the airplane gently fall into the ground... apparently with the way it's wings and whatnot it would more or less act as its own parachute and land firmly but safely.

I’ve driven through a couple of times on road trips, it’s actually a really beautiful place with lots to do and see. I tell this to my friends and they think I’m joking. I also may or may not have been caught having a little too much fun in a rear wheel drive, and may or may not have paid £50 to get out of the situation.

Always a treat to see a new upload, Scott. Doubly so when I get in early!

If a printout is required, Ryanair must also provide it free of charge. This is exactly the case when it says in the online check-in process that you have to contact the airport staff directly, for example because of your nationality and entry requirements. Even if there is no service counter for Ryanair, there is at least one check-in counter where luggage is dropped off.

The biplane at Tirana was an An2 Colt (NATO reporting name). They are still in use, over 18000 built

Hi Scott🙋. I had an 5:50 gate close at Bucharest Airport. To see Bucharest North station in the dark, waked up my memories. Many thanks for doing another exhausting trip. I you one time end up in Cologne I would be delighted to invent you at least for a coffee. Greetings from Germany Marco

That was awesome Scott, one of the best videos you've done. A classic, and you gave us one of your classic lines too: "Just like in Italy, that means you have chosen that location to die" 😅

I just found this by accident and am watching from Castlemaine In Australia. I wish that we had fares as cheap as this 😂. This is fascinating to watch (especially from someone who is so far away from Europe that it takes a day to get there). I sometimes wish that Australia was a bit closer but then we wouldn’t have our beautiful weather. It would be so lovely though to be able to pop over to Paris for a weekend (I’ve been to Adelaide for a night spontaneously with some friends, cost a small fortune).

Absolutely brilliant Scott. Loved this. Back in the day my best friend and I used to turn up at our local travel agent, sit down and ask what was available leaving from Manchester next week. We didn’t really care where we were headed it was just an easy way to get a holiday sorted. Now it’s so easy to do all of this ourselves from the comfort of our own iPhone. Sorely tempted to give this a go sometime.

Out of all of the KZread channel travel videos that I watch, you are the most organised, naturally witty, and able to link and give reasons for all of your travels. One of a kind. Keep it up, Scott!

So, what site you used to book those flights? That biplane is Antonov AN-2, probably.
