TRIP REPORT | The Shortest Runway!! | Skiathos to London Gatwick | TUI UK Boeing 737
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 сер 2024
- TUI Trip Report flying from Skiathos to London Gatwick onboard one of the TUI UK Boeing 737 equipped with Sky Interior on a cloudy and windy morning in Skiathos but lovely sunny in London.
Taking off from one of the shortest runways in Europe (just 1.600m) is an amazing experience. Of course, all the thrust available is used for this takeoff, so you can imagine how amazing the engine roar was on this flight!
After an epic takeoff from Skiathos, as known as "the European St. Marteen airport" because the runway is just 5 meters from the sea, we flew over North Macedonia, Kosovo, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Italy, Switzerland, France, and finally the UK, after crossing the English Channel.
It was a very comfortable flight, as the load factor was not more than 35-40% on this flight back to London Gatwick. The inflight menu, although not all the meals were available, was quite ok. However, I miss some pre-ordered meal services (like Jet2).
Have you ever flown with TUI? How was the experience? Did you book just the flights or the complete holiday package? Are you already planning a trip for 2022? Have you ever departed from an airport with a very short runway? (Dortmund could be a good example of a short runway as well).
Lots of things to talk about! Read you all in the comments section!

TUI really be changing their slogan every year
“Find your smile”
“Discover your smile”
“Live happy”
Next thing you know it’ll be something like
“Good god, we’re the best airline”
Nice! Skiathos :)
Glad that you've enjoyed it :)
Wowwww awesome 👌 bro keep it up
Thanks a lot! 😎✈
Me ha encantado el vídeo sobre todo el despegue del Aeropuerto de Skiathos ha sido increíble en esa pista tanto en el despegue como en el aterrizaje los pilotos deben apurar los motores me imagino y también esas vistas del mar y los sitios por donde pasas ; el avión me ha gustado también tanto el Skye interior como el tipo B-737 me parece mas vistoso que el A-320 me parecen los asientos muy cómodos no como los de Vueling que son duros y parecen de plástico. Un cordial saludo y buen fin de semana.
Muchas gracias, Rafa!
Si este te ha gustado, creo que el vídeo volando a Skiathos te va a gustar aún más. La aproximación es genial! :)
Que tengas una buena semana! :)
Thank you!!
Glad that you've enjoyed the video :)
Nice to see an approach into the UK bathed in sunshine, not often you see that😄. Skiathos Airport looks a bit like Reus Airport in Spain, although I've never been bussed to the plane at Reus. Looks like a nice flight. TUI UK just seem that bit more grown up and less brash and tacky compared to their rival Jet2. Each to their own though, as people seem to love Jet2. Nice video, I enjoyed it.
Actually, next Saturday's video will be Jet2! It will be from an airport we didn't visit for the last 2 years (Birmingham) to a completely new destination in the channel: Santorini! 😎✈
uff genial el vuelo los boeing son mis aviones favoritos me gusta mas su aerodinamica que las de los airbus esa aerolinea tui se ve tremenda gracias por compartir esos viajes saludos
Muchas gracias, Leonardo!
Un placer que te haya gustado este Trip Report! :))
Great video, so nice to see Gatwick sunny for once! I love TUI, they are the worlds biggest charter airline, and they are amazing. When will TUI be back on the channel?
You're recognized Lignano and Pordenone from above the clouds. That's where we spent our summer holidays.
Cool! Hope you got some nice memories back! :)
Another great video, looks like it was filmed in the summer though.
Thanks a lot, Paul!
Glad that you've enjoyed it!
You have the date of recording on the video description :)
Thanks I’m going on that airplane on march 24/25 :))
Wish you a nice trip!
Very, very well done again! The background at Skaithos airport is as dramatic as Kloten airport! I might have said it before, but those Greek islands make for amazing views! Thanks! By the way; did you spend any time at Skaithos, or was this just another stopover in your enless journeys? ;-)
Thanks a lot, Albertus ;)
It was a stopover in an enless journey haha
Soon I'll upload the flight to Skiathos with its amazing approach!
Enjoy the week! :)
Greeting from Indonesia 🙌
Cheers! :)
Lovely video! It’s a shame you just missed out on getting on a 757!
Thanks a lot!
Yeah, it would have been amazing.. =/
I always been on TUI ever since I was born, and it's cool anyways, I like your videos, I rate your vids 737373737373737382737372/10
I will be flying with Tui next year to Lanzarote on the A321 ( never knew they had an airbus )
Wish you an amazing trip! :)
I have to admit my tuppence went, when I took off from there. Another runway is Mykonos flying off the hillside takes your breath away
Both are small and narrow runways. Intersting ones :)
Have a nice week!
Man, you've missed some of the best years, pre-covid, of Skiathos planespotting and people getting jet-blasted..With TUI's 757s screaming, TCX A321s and Volotea's 717s from all over Italy it was a hoot..!! You should have come earlier...Did you do any spotting? Wed and Fri are Brit days and Sat is Scandic day with lots of SAS 737s..You also get Finnair, Transavia, Smartwings,LOT, Tarom,Air Serbia,Enter Air, Austrian,BA, Ryanair, Edelweiss,Neos, Cyprus, TUS..
Planes will come back to Skiathos, don't worry for that. (Of course not the Volotea B717... but others )
I was there just for a cople of hours.
Lucas i heared that maybe turkish airlines will order airbus a380 and Boeing 777x
a380 hahahahaha
Pordenone....mi ciudad jajajaja...que gracioso verla en video como este..tan pequeña que es.
Jaja Me alegra que te haya gustado el vídeo! 😎
if i knew i would wave at you from Koper :D
Haha So next time, you know.. ;P
How full was the flight? Usually a 737-800 has to refuel at Thessaloniki back to the UK etc as it can’t get off the runway to go direct.
Around 40 people maximum I would say.
@@OnBoardHD Ah ok makes sense why they could do it direct!!
That is a very short runway (5,340 feet) but not as short as Key West, FL (5,076 feet)- EYW regularly sees flights to New York and Boston, some 1200miles/1930km and 1370miles/2200km away, respectively. I’m sure there must be capacity lids on some of these departing flights.
That must be an interesting airport to visit! :)
@@OnBoardHD It's a beautiful area, to be honest. A bit like Florida, a bit like a Caribbean island (which I guess it is, technically.) As much as I like flying, the drive back to Miami from Key West is great! Lots of bridges connecting small islands all the way back to the mainland! I would like to visit Skiathos in the near future...thank you for inspiring me!
Felicitaciones Lucas, gran video. Hey Lucas vi el vídeo tanto de ida a Skiathos como el de la vuelta y en ambos ponías que la pista es muy corta. Pregunto ¿Hay una sugerencia por parte de la compañía, fabricante del avión, el largo de la pista tanto para aterrizar como para despegar? y ¿Qué tanto se puede transgredir esa norma de la compañía?. Un abrazo desde Santiago de chile, América del Sur
Muchas gracias.
El fabricante del avión, para certificarlo, tiene que hacer cientos de pruebas, entre los cuales se calculan esas distancias. Luego, se le aplican factores de seguridad y sacan la distancia mínima en función del peso, condiciones meteorológicas, elevación del aeropuerto... La aerolínea puede aplicar más factores de seguridad, es decir, hacer la distancia mínima más larga, pero NUNCA hacerla más corta de lo que Boeing dice.
"¿Qué tanto se puede transgredir esa norma...?" Nada. 0 metros.
Saludos! :)
@@OnBoardHD mil gracias
eeeeeee I went on that exact plane!!!!! to Greece
Haha cool!
I hope you got some nice memories from your trip! :)
@@OnBoardHD it was amazing! 😃
Wow Estuviste en skiathos! Yo fui alli en el mfs2020 xD
Jaja genial :D
Am only I noticed how sick are the timings between safety video ending and takeoff?
It's a full power take off ?
That's one thing I hate is leaving these beautiful Greek Islands
Amazing video as always🙂
Thanks ;)
Never stop doing the thing at the start where you show clips of the flight! It gives me nice vibes.
haha glad that you enjoy them so much :)
Great video !!
Thanks :)
Flight to Bulgaria please🛫
Hopefully soon! :))
¿Cuanto de largo medía la pista?
Lo pone en el vídeo.
Probably since load was light flight was able to fly JSI LGW Nonstop.
JSI being such a difficult airport,Only Captains are permitted to Land and Take Off the planes
Has being named the Princess Juilianna airport of the Mediteranien.
There are many Greek islands airport that are cpt only takeoff/landing.
Skiathos is just one more of that category :)
@@OnBoardHD if I remember JMK is another one
I missed the premier :(
Well, you have it available now forever :P
You always make my day better
cuando un vuelo desde vitoria??
A ver, a ver... por ahora no tengo nada planificado por allí.
you know your geography.
En las pantallas ponía que el viaje duraba 1 hora escasa, debe ser un error
No es un error. Hay 2 horas de diferencia entre Reino Unido y Grecia. El vuelo dura tres horas, pero llegas sólo una hora más tarde por el cambio horario.
Pls another ryanair video (prosím o nove ryanair video)
It will come soon ;)
Puedes hacer el 13 de amsrterdam a barcelona
Creo que no entiendo muy bien lo que quieres decir...
Un video de amsterdam a barcelona el 13 de noviembre
Me temo que va a ser que no... ✈
Nunca he hecho esa ruta.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Plz try international airlines
They will come :)
Excelente reporte de viaje, muy interesante el recorrido y como de costumbre el contenido espectacular.
Un saludo especial desde el municipio de Facatativá región metropolitana de Bogotá en Colombia.
Muchas gracias, Manuel!
Que tengas una buena semana! :)
Beautiful flight and beautiful report as usual.
Skiathos Is also called "European Sint Maarten" because of the very low short final and because of the backtrack before take off.
Thanks a lot, Alessandro!
The plane was pretty empty. I already noticed that when you were boarding as the second person.
I like the look of those small Greek airport terminals. Although I prefer the Mega terminals, because I hate the long sitting and waiting for boarding, and always like to walk to see more planes and stuff.
Yep, there were just around 40 passengers in this flight.
In some weeks I will upload the flight to Skiathos with its amazing approach :)
Holaaaa! , eh estado un poco alejado de las redes por culpa de los examenes , y ahora que se tranquilizo un poco , me sale un video tuyo con tui y 737 perfecto. Me tengo que pasar por el canal para ver todos los videos nuevos , saludos :)
Genial! Pues bienvenido de nuevo!
Mañana estreno a la hora de siempre :)
En mi opinion te faltó un video de spotting en Skiathos que es mítico jaja
2 horas de escala no dan para ello.
Hello my friend again🇺🇾♥️♥️
Hope you've enjoyed the video :)
Can you fly to Corfu?
Corfu will come very soon to the channel :)
I hate the runway in Corfu airport 😂 it's literally surrounded by water on 3 sides
How long I wait for this trip report....
Yeah! See you tomorrow at the Premiere! :)
Are you planning to visit Poland?
There are lots of videos to/from Poland on the channel already...
@@OnBoardHD ok I will watch thank you :D
Can you fly to Malaga again soon?
Let's see when that will happen... for now there are many other flights :)
Planeando venir a Mallorca? 👀 jaja
Pronto habrá más Mallorca, sí :)
@@OnBoardHD 👌👌
you are not afraid to fly over such a short runway?
Not at all. Why I should?
for me it would be scary because I didn’t fly with planes so often and the trail was short. Good luck 😉
I love TUI livery, but im so sad that they deleted yellow color.
Yeah, the Yellow one was nice as well :)
