Wouldn't have thought of that one. My shortest flight was from Prestwick to Belfast City with Ryanair when they were doing their 1p offer. 10 mins in the air took off into the wind and landed the same way so no circling to the runway. Back also for 1p so a day in Belfast for 2p.Did the same to Dubiln also for 2p
Great insight Steve thanks, prior to the pandemic, i had been flying in & out of Glasgow Airport for about 12years with my work but never knew about the reserve nearby, I will definitely visit there when things resume instead of being stuck hanging out in the departure lounge for hours.
Wow, wish PEI to the UK was that quick! You had great weather for your "wee" trip. Loved seeing both Edinburgh and Glasgow from the air. And what a great little nature reserve. That was beautiful! Here's to lots more air travel for you Steve! I know how much you enjoy it!
Always like how a machine that looks so graceful in the air always sounds like it is about to fall to pieces when taxing and taking off, nice flight thank you.
I was on a KLM flight as a child once in 1997 from Amsterdam that dropped passengers off in Glasgow then carried on to Edinburgh. 22 minutes was quite long for that flight. I flew from Edinburgh to Belfast City a few weeks ago with Aer Lingus and it only took 29 minutes.
i never knew that flight existed, you learn something new every day. And the nature reserve !!!….at glasgow airport ???!!! (….who says YT isnt educational). thanks for the vid.
Next to the nature reserve there is actually a nursery, primarily for airport staff or people who work at inchinnan business park on the other side of the runway. My daughter went there, and they took the kids for walks down at the moss all the time.
Ahoy Pirates! Thanks for taking us on board! OMG, I miss aviation so much! Classy and cool footage, as always! Hats off to this Captain and crew! Alicja is too cute, please tell her that! :D Capt. of the good old Blackthorne
Brilliant! What a great idea for a wee day out. Reminds me of flying from Aberdeen to Dundee in the 90s with the long gone, Business Air on a SAAB 340. That was about 20 mins so you definitely win.
Back in the 90s, there used to be a Dusseldorf - Birmingham - Edinburgh - Glasgow flight with BA on one of their classic 737-200s. I used that flight a couple of times, only going as far as Edinburgh.
Years ago, returning from Copenhagen to Glasgow the flight made a scheduled stop in Edinburgh so I got to make this same hop. I’m sure that flight was in some variant of the 737. Strangely, the outbound flight the same morning was direct. As for the extra legroom an exit seat gives, be careful what you wish for. Two colleagues thought they had lucked out on a trans-Atlantic flight when they got the extra legroom at the exit. But when a fellow passenger died on the flight the body - in a bodybag thankfully - was deposited at their feet as this was the only space available on the aircraft.
It's always a treat to see you travel. I think I remember that you tried this route on foot before. Well, this time it was more comfortable and the view was very nice. The warm welcome in Edinburgh was worth the trip alone. Thanks for this trip Steve. I really enjoyed it. 👍
Awwww thanks so much! Yes, the welcome home really made my day, and it's not so easy to get to the airport from home so I appreciated it a LOT! :) Haha yes, this was a little smoother than my walk! Oh no, you're putting it in my head to try again :)
Thanks Claire! The flights can be hard to find, took me a few times looking on the Loganair website, and in fact the EDI-GLA one was only booked on the day! But well worth the searching :)
Steve - Dirk is correct, this was a fun excursion.

By the time you add in travelling to and from the airports from the city centres I'm guessing the train would take about the same time ? on the plus side the Loganair staff look very foxy in Tartan , Loved the meeting at the airport at the end , that sign was priceless !
Thanks, Steve, that was rare. My dad took me and one of my cousins on this flight back in the 1960s, first time either of us had ever flown. My recollection is that it only took 12 minutes back then, although I could be wrong! Didn't know this run was still operating.
Enjoyed your video . Interesting . Would like to fly to Edinburgh / Glasgow from England one day . Looking forward to watching any more videos that you make in the future .
Great video. I flew this a couple of times on the 737 with British Midland as a FO. We would drop into EDI to pick up pasengers on the way to CPH and drop off on the way back. It was normally operated by a Fokker 100. I seem to recall the best time on the Fokker was about 8mins from t/o on 05 at GLA to landing on 06 at EDI.
That was fun! Surely the whole annoying experience of flying - having to get to the airport which is usually miles from the city, needing to get there a long way ahead of flight time for the security checks, random delays, taxiing before and after takeoffs and landings - adds considerably to the time if comparing it to another way to travel. I doubt it’s used often. But the views are great!
So true Heather! The things I do for a UA-cam video :) and just as well I strangely like all those things, although I must say, despite the lack of views, I still prefer the train journey :)
This was a fun adventure Steve.....thanks for taking us along! That's something that I would do also (just because) you can. When I was flying (years ago) we had a route from Boston to Portland, ME that took 18 minutes wheels up to wheels down....we thought that was short...AND....we did a very quick beverage service! That's a really nice hiking area there beside the airport....was a pleasant surprise to find that there!!
I'm really keen to do some short hops in the States when I can - have always fancied a wee flight out to Martha's or Nantucket :) And well done to the crew fitting in a beverage service!!!!
@@steve-marsh No cart setup....just a carry tray with a choice of Coke, Sprite & that was it. You passed it out from front to back, went back & grabbed a trash bag & started thru again collecting the cups!
Great video as always, what a cracking view you had from the aircraft. Your greeting in the airport was worth the plane journey!! Stay safe and well you both, keep the videos coming..
After this last year what a great video. Made me feel like I went on a wee holiday at last. I love the scenery when I fly, but I also love the take off and landing. Loved the meet and greet you lucky man. ❤ Thanks again Steve for another lovely video. 🙂
Great video and a great idea! I wasn’t aware that the edi-sou flights stopped via GLA, what a great opportunity to get such a short flight! Keep up the great work Steve
@@steve-marsh I noticed a flight between NCL and EDI on the departures board late last week, I couldn’t find how to book it anywhere. I think it was a continuation of a SOU-EDI service
What a stunningly lovely view over Embra, though! And I just love the sight of sun playing through clouds. When flying with engines, slightly crappy weather is much nicer than clear blue sky, I think. I wonder if the pilots are tempted to skip retracting the gear for the flight.
This is great! Really want to fly on one of those ERJ-145's! Think our best option living in Sheffield would be Manchester to Aberdeen! It's got me planning a trip 😄👍
I remember way back the BA flights from Edinburgh to Bristol used to go via Glasgow so I remember a few similar short flight - on. A Dash-8 I think. Great video.
That was good, Steve. Wonderful cloud formations! I think you would enjoy making a video in Paisley; it's a very attractive place. I'd describe it as a hidden gem.
Cracking video mr Steve kean has just watched it and said "he didn't even have time for a coffee "lol he also said he would love to do that flight as would I, it must have been a strange experience being in the air for such a short time but well worth doing thanks for another video and we're getting excited for our trip to your fair land in August cheers joff and kean
August is not many sleeps away now! :) Kean - I really wanted a coffee but they didn't do any service at all :) I was shocked how quickly the 'prepare for landing' announcement came!
Steve you picked the right day weather wise for the flight which as many have said before did not know existed and also the nature reserve at Paisley. I remember when they used to call Glasgow Airport Renfrew Airport was about the same time they had a the Erskine Ferry and its famous queues. Regards Crawford
Thanks for the info Crawford! :) Yes, actually only booked the EDI-GLA leg on the day of the flight, so was pretty sure there would be some nice weather :)
Great video Steve.......My first ever flight was back in 1972 was Aberdeen - Edinburgh - Glasgow on a BEA Vickers Viscount Series 806 . Your outbound was a little longer landing 05 at GLA . Done that trip oh so many times on MS Flight Sim on various aircraft over the years, infact its a trip on MSFSX (training) as the conversion to jets. An old friend of mine is the Embraer Training Captain for Loganair Frank Browne , I was his first ever passenger on a Aberdeen Aero Club Cessna 152 back in the early 80s but that's another story.
Dennis, I could listen to these stories all day long! I'm so jealous you've done that route onboard a Viscount! I guess the nearest I'll ever get to one would be building an airfix...
We are heading up to Orkney in October but it looks like the timings on the flight from Papa Westray to Westray or vice versa will make it difficult to film if getting a ferry from Kirkwall. Darn. Nice film of an unusual journey.
Interesting to see Loganair now have jets, in my day I flew Islanders and Trilanders. Later they had Shorts flying vans. Last time I flew Edinburgh to Lerwick direct every 2 weeks. My first 'offshore' job I flew Glasgow to Edinburgh to Aberdeen to Wick to Kirkwall where I got off but flight continued up to Lerwick. Over 50 years ago on a twin prop British Airways flight. Given Scottish weather multiple take offs and lands was quite the thrill.
Alex, that all sounds incredible to an enthusiast like me! I wish I'd had the chance to fly one of the vans - I wonder if there's one still flying somewhere, I need to find it if there is!
@@steve-marsh The Shorts built in Ireland was an ugly aircraft with it's square body and stubby wings. Twin prop. Quite a comfortable ride and plenty head room given the box shape. Even a toilet. Upgrade compared with the side door entry no corridor Islander and Trilander. The side doors fairly rattled in flight. One time on a company charter flight from Emden Germany to Edz I sat in the copilot seat. The pilot was an older pilot that appeared very nervous and chain smoked the whole flight. Wonderful views on land Edz from copilot seat. Back then no need for 2 pilots ... those were the cowboy days.
I heard an old sea dog recounting recounting some tall tale of flying on an oil company charter. He was sitting next to the pilot, they got chatting about their respective trades. Then the pilot gave him a wee shot on the controls, while doing this the pilot went on the PA and announced "Boys, the crane operator's flying the plane!".
Hahaha this video cracked me up! Next time I'm pulling into Harthill on the Citylink coach I'll just think of all the folk zipping across the M8 6000 feet above me. 😂
The quickest flight ever done was Dublin to East Midlands, about 45 minutes from take off to landing, that seems like a long haul flight compared to this 😂. Fantastic video
Aren't these flights usually on their way to somewhere else? I recall back in the 90s taking a flight from Edinburgh to London and it 'called' at Glasgow on the way... and also a flight to and from Brussels?
Nice flight, nice day. It doesn't seem that they get many passengers although it's very quick. And as for doing a quick journey, didn't you set out to walk it a while back?
Absolute madness didn't know that Steve mate,thought we might have seen you on our travels as we are through from Glasgow doing water of leith walkway 🤣
Great video Steve. I have done Schiphol to Norwich in under 30 minutes (just!) which is amazing when you compare the time it would take by another method. Would love to see you do the Westray flight.
Wow - 30 mins from mainland Europe is incredible! I'll need to give it a try :) Oh and Orkney is on the list, it's just tricky going all that way if it was cancelled for weather or something, but there's no way to do anything about Scottish weather, eh!?
Great views on the outward flight. I guess it might be useful as a "feeder" if you were flying on somewhere else from Glasgow, or indeed going to Southampton. I know you were doing this to make a (very watchable, as always) blog, but given travelling to and from the airports and the usual time taken for check-in, surely in practical terms the train journey time of one hour nine minutes city centre to city centre would be competitive - and much less of a "CO2 footprint"!
Very true Hugh, it would never be a real viable flight, would never make sense :) but hopefully cutting a whole route by doing this connection will actually help the footprint a bit :)
Flew this flight on a number of occasions back in the early 90s. Air UK used to operate the GLA-STN and EDI-STN flights with a BAe146. The middle of the day flights were combined so a trip to or from Stansted would mean we'd get a flight from/to EDI thrown in. I'm sure I timed a GLA-EDI trip at seven minutes once. I think I also did EDI-GLA with Flybe once when they cancelled a SOU-EDI flight and put the passengers on our SOU-GLA service. Flybe were notorious for that sort of thing but hell, I miss them!
Yeah, miss them too - some great routes they flew. And AirUK - there's a blast from the past! I need to get researching and find more of these wee beauties of routes! Seven minutes - wow, I'm jealous you beat me!
Awww what more could you want at the end of a flight, but someone special holding a sign with your name on it, in an empty airport ❤️
It really did make my day! :)
Steve I realise what makes your UA-cam adventures better than most is your interesting and well informed dialogue ..The best. Cheers
At 10:35 "back again ?" 😂. I've seen this flight before when looking at planes on FR24.
Wouldn't have thought of that one. My shortest flight was from Prestwick to Belfast City with Ryanair when they were doing their 1p offer. 10 mins in the air took off into the wind and landed the same way so no circling to the runway. Back also for 1p so a day in Belfast for 2p.Did the same to Dubiln also for 2p
Ahhh those 1p fares!!! Sounds like a great wee route, it would just take me so long to get to Prestwick :)
I remember that lol i think that flight was 18 minutes in total from memory
What a lovely video to watch. Certainly a great little advert for Loganair. Excellent
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks :)
By the time you go through all the airport stuff,a penny farthing would be quicker 🤣🤣, thanks again Steve great wee video
Ain't that the truth! :) Cheers Douglas!
Being as I am from San Francisco, I shouldn’t know what a penny farthing is but I’m sure glad that I do! Nice video. Thanks for sharing.
Really enjoyed the video. Thank you for posting. A short round trip flight plus, a joyous welcome on return, and no journey could be better.
Thanks Bob! It was such a lovely surprise that Alicja came to meet me :)
Great insight Steve thanks, prior to the pandemic, i had been flying in & out of Glasgow Airport for about 12years with my work but never knew about the reserve nearby, I will definitely visit there when things resume instead of being stuck hanging out in the departure lounge for hours.

Nice video Steve, I really enjoy going along on these explorations with you. Thanks a lot!
Thanks so much Maribel :)
Thanks Steve. Top tip about the nature reserve at Glasgow - one I'll be sure to check out next time I'm switching flights there.
Cheers Andrew! A wee hidden gem :)
This is so fun to watch! Thank you! I have never been on an airplane larger than a Cessna 182....
That's a pretty cool thing to be able to say Barbara! :)

Next to the nature reserve there is actually a nursery, primarily for airport staff or people who work at inchinnan business park on the other side of the runway. My daughter went there, and they took the kids for walks down at the moss all the time.

Really interesting thank you...lovely aircraft great scenery...all your stuff is really good. Great channel 👍
Thanks so much!!! :)
Interesting to see Loganair now have jets, in my day I flew Islanders and Trilanders. Later they had Shorts flying vans. Last time I flew Edinburgh to Lerwick direct every 2 weeks.
My first 'offshore' job I flew Glasgow to Edinburgh to Aberdeen to Wick to Kirkwall where I got off but flight continued up to Lerwick. Over 50 years ago on a twin prop British Airways flight. Given Scottish weather multiple take offs and lands was quite the thrill.
Alex, that all sounds incredible to an enthusiast like me! I wish I'd had the chance to fly one of the vans - I wonder if there's one still flying somewhere, I need to find it if there is!
@@steve-marsh The Shorts built in Ireland was an ugly aircraft with it's square body and stubby wings. Twin prop. Quite a comfortable ride and plenty head room given the box shape. Even a toilet. Upgrade compared with the side door entry no corridor Islander and Trilander. The side doors fairly rattled in flight. One time on a company charter flight from Emden Germany to Edz I sat in the copilot seat. The pilot was an older pilot that appeared very nervous and chain smoked the whole flight. Wonderful views on land Edz from copilot seat. Back then no need for 2 pilots ... those were the cowboy days.
I heard an old sea dog recounting recounting some tall tale of flying on an oil company charter. He was sitting next to the pilot, they got chatting about their respective trades. Then the pilot gave him a wee shot on the controls, while doing this the pilot went on the PA and announced "Boys, the crane operator's flying the plane!".
Thanks for the video! And thanks for the humor sometimes!
Very nice to watch a travel video that contains a plane :-) My shortest flight is from Papa Westray to Westray in the Orkneys, less than 2 minutes.
I am drowning in jealousy! One day I hope to take this flight and film it :)
Great humor, and a wonderful safe flight.
Cheers Richard! :)
Just like to add you must have flown tight over my house when passing over Clyde's football ground 😂😂
If I lived there I'd be looking up all the time :)
Hahaha this video cracked me up! Next time I'm pulling into Harthill on the Citylink coach I'll just think of all the folk zipping across the M8 6000 feet above me. 😂
I’m surprised we didn’t stop at Harthill for a break 🤷🏼♂️
Back in the day Globespan used to do this for some flights to Spain. Cleared to the GOW, altitude 4000ft.
The quickest flight ever done was Dublin to East Midlands, about 45 minutes from take off to landing, that seems like a long haul flight compared to this 😂. Fantastic video
Next up: LCY to LHR: Plane verses the tube/DLR
Haha would love it!
I probably seen you that day ,I'm in a high rise just off the flight path ,so they fly past my window 😎
That would seriously be my dream apartment Jim!
Another enjoyable video, thank you. Colin
Glad you enjoyed it Colin! :)
Flew on one of these once, Newark NJ to Portland ME - first time flying solo - climb was super fast.
Oh man, didn’t even know that this route existed , must give it a go sometime. Another brilliant video.
Thanks so much Bill!
Aren't these flights usually on their way to somewhere else? I recall back in the 90s taking a flight from Edinburgh to London and it 'called' at Glasgow on the way... and also a flight to and from Brussels?
Loved this !....keep the adventures going guys :D
Cheers Paul! :)
Nice flight, nice day. It doesn't seem that they get many passengers although it's very quick. And as for doing a quick journey, didn't you set out to walk it a while back?
Most passengers were on the GLA SOU leg, the Edinburgh flight was super-quiet! Haha yes, I’m glad the flight didn’t go as badly as the walk 🤣
Taxi to / from the end of the runway was probably longer - nice video Steve
Haha very true David!
Wonderful video and a great channel!
That's mental Steve wasn't that long ago you attempted to walk to Glasgow, didn't even know you could get a flight like this
Haha yes! I think it's a rare wee flight, took me ages to find it!
Absolute madness didn't know that Steve mate,thought we might have seen you on our travels as we are through from Glasgow doing water of leith walkway 🤣
Haha I'm tempted to come and find you :D
@@steve-marsh 🤣🤣🤐back at hotel now going out in town 2nite for last nite before back home,might see you up town for a pint 😉
Great video Steve. I have done Schiphol to Norwich in under 30 minutes (just!) which is amazing when you compare the time it would take by another method. Would love to see you do the Westray flight.
Wow - 30 mins from mainland Europe is incredible! I'll need to give it a try :) Oh and Orkney is on the list, it's just tricky going all that way if it was cancelled for weather or something, but there's no way to do anything about Scottish weather, eh!?
Great views on the outward flight. I guess it might be useful as a "feeder" if you were flying on somewhere else from Glasgow, or indeed going to Southampton. I know you were doing this to make a (very watchable, as always) blog, but given travelling to and from the airports and the usual time taken for check-in, surely in practical terms the train journey time of one hour nine minutes city centre to city centre would be competitive - and much less of a "CO2 footprint"!
Very true Hugh, it would never be a real viable flight, would never make sense :) but hopefully cutting a whole route by doing this connection will actually help the footprint a bit :)
One of the few flights where the whole process is much slower than almost every other method of travel
So true, only a UA-cam creator and Av Geek would do this flight for sure!
A re-positioing flight that they sell tickets for.
@@Swaggerlot Not really, no. Two flights (Edinburgh-Southampton and Glasgow-Southampton) consolidated into one.
@@afcgeo882 Same thing really.
@@Swaggerlot Not at all, if you know what repositioning flights are.
Flew this flight on a number of occasions back in the early 90s. Air UK used to operate the GLA-STN and EDI-STN flights with a BAe146. The middle of the day flights were combined so a trip to or from Stansted would mean we'd get a flight from/to EDI thrown in. I'm sure I timed a GLA-EDI trip at seven minutes once. I think I also did EDI-GLA with Flybe once when they cancelled a SOU-EDI flight and put the passengers on our SOU-GLA service. Flybe were notorious for that sort of thing but hell, I miss them!
Yeah, miss them too - some great routes they flew. And AirUK - there's a blast from the past! I need to get researching and find more of these wee beauties of routes! Seven minutes - wow, I'm jealous you beat me!
Very enjoyable--thank you.
Thanks so much! :)
I actually enjoyed the video😁Sitting in the bus I wish to fly from Gorgie to OT✈️🧸🎈
Your pilot would still take a wrong turn 😏
