    Going on my first Jet2 flight in May 2022. But it is one of my first flights period. Only been on one 1hr Eastyjet flight to Jersey. The lack of certain things don’t matter to the likes of me. We wouldn’t notice. We’ve no prior experience. Great insight into a Jet2 flight. Nice to see the passengers applaud the pilot at the end. Shows great respect and appreciation.

      It's definitely a bit scary. I've been to Madeira twice: the first time I've both left and arrived when it was dark, and the second time when I landed it was the other way into the airport compared to normal and the plane was moving a bit with the gusts and you could only see the steep rocks and the sea until you were on the runway, definitely a bit scary

    We are off to Madeira later in the year. We have done the trip before and have used Jet 2 on many flights around Europe. Have always found Jet 2 to be good to fly with. I find the extra leg room seats worth the extra money but, as you say, have a good meal before you get on the flight. Glad you landed safely, always interesting landing at Funchal because of runway location and possible cross winds.

    3 hours 18 minutes wow, you can get around over there in no time! Food looked pretty meh but for that short of a flight, you could maybe get away with eating before and not on the plane. Also, my opinion on the clapping: I don't fly very often but that kind of a landing doesn't seem so abnormal to me to warrant clapping afterward..

I had to listen to it very carefully like 6 times in a row to understand !! 😅 It is still hard for me if it's muffled sound / voices ! And I've never heard of that destination !! Sorry !! 😞
    I hope you guys had lots of fun there !!
    Is this jet 2 very popular in Wales & the rest of the U.K. !? I don't think I've ever seen it here !!? In the U.S. ! But, I could be wrong as it's been such a long time since the last time I was at am airport !! Lol. Like 5 years ago almost !? 4 + years ago ! I flew to San Francisco. My favourite city in the U.S. !! All my life ! That & Carmel is so lovely !!! 😍
    Anyway. Lol. Is jet 2 a rival to easy jet & wiz air & Ryanair over there !!? Which one is the best from your perspectives & why ,could you tell me !? For my near future trip's tip to Wales & England !? I appreciate it, if you would !
    Please stay safe !! ✈🛩👍💜💜💜💜🥁🐉🎤💕💞

      Hi - He says "that's boarding complete and ladies and gentlemen, this flight will shortly depart for Funchal".
      Funchal is the capital city of the Portuguese Island of Madeira and it is a popular vacation destination for the British. Jet2 is a UK based holiday company that flies to most of the popular vacation spots around Europe. All the people on board were off on holiday for 1 or 2 weeks.

      I am just watching a video of Easy Jet turning Wizz Air's offer for merging !! Lol.
      I wonder which budget airlines there is the best !!? Over heard / read real bad reviews on Ryanair very very often !! Lol.I had watched some movies based on truth of an Irish company doing illegal act ( some bad toxic chemicals leaked thru in the cabins from the engines & caused passengers& pilots cancers !! ) & those hard landings of Ryanair scare me !!! Lol.
      Thank you so much for your reply !!

    • @flydriveexplore
      @flydriveexplore  3 роки тому +1

      At the airport before flying out you have to show the Madeira Safe QR code and your vaccination certificate (or PCR test if not vaccinated). Don't worry if the Madera Safe website says the documents aren't yet validated as they do this when you land at Madeira as you leave the airport.

    • @flydriveexplore
      @flydriveexplore  3 роки тому +1

      Not a PCR but a quick test at a pharmacy (up the nose) within 72 hours of your return, the Madeira Safe website will give you this free of charge once you arrive but you need to book early to make sure you get one near where you are staying. We booked on the first day. All this may change by the time you visit.
