Manchester to Newquay, Cornwall with Easyjet and the A320Neo

- Hello guys and I have a new series of videos for you here which I’m calling ‘Airlines and Branch Lines of Cornwall’.
I flew down on this gorgeous looking EasyJet A320Neo in beautiful weather and, whilst I did encounter one specific issue with the cabin, overall it was pretty good and the usual decent standard of service from EasyJet I’ve begun to expect over the years.
Later on in the series I’ll compare this flight with the return trip back to Manchester with Loganair and their levels of service both onboard and post-flight.
In-between flights, I’ll be taking a few trips on selected Cornish branch lines and I can tell you now, there’s some absolute gems down there - well worth a visit I hope you’ll agree.
Thanks for watching and enjoy the video!
Mark

Hi Mark, when I go on this route in the future I plan on flying it with Loganair so I'll be looking forward to your video soon.
Hi Adam, if things go to schedule, should be out 15 October. If you want any advice before then, feel free to dm me on Twitter if you like. Cheers, Mark
Great video! I explored Cornwall for a week with my base being in Newquay near the station. I passed Loswithiel and with all places in Cornwall, it was beautiful!
Hello Mark. I’ve only just seen this video after its been out for a year. Very well done and interesting as usual. I’m just surprised as you are a stickler for detail that you said that part of RAF St. Mawgan was handed over to Cornwall CITY Council, of course its Cornwall COUNTY Council. I think Cornwall has just one city - Truro.
Hi Phil, well I try not to get too detailed these days as I always manage to get one or two things wrong 😂 Happy to be corrected though, thanks for letting me know 😊👍
Hi Mark. Another great review. Looking forward to the rest of your trip. Notice your subscriber numbers are climbing since you reached 1k. Well done and keep up the good work. Regards Blair
Hi Blair, thanks for the kind words and yes, subs are doing well and it’s many thanks to you guys for supporting the channel and commenting - much appreciated. It’s taken me by surprise a bit I must admit as I was aiming for hopefully 1k by the end of the year so I guess I must be doing something right 🤷♂️😂. Anyway, plan for the rest of the trip is 2-3 branch lines and the flight back with Loganair on an ATR72. The branch line to St Ives in-particular is amazing and I did have beautiful weather for it. I’m really looking forward to putting that one out. All the best, Mark
Easyjet really do provide a great value for money service. I remember flying into Newquey about 13 years ago on Air Southwest on a Dash-300. It was just a quick transit stop DUB-NQY-BRS. ✈️
I would love to see some photos of that! Don't even recall Air Southwest - I'll have to google it now!
@@LetsMakeaTrip I think they operated a total of 5 Dash 8 at one point!
@@richardnei from Plymouth............
Yeah, if you can afford to hang around waiting for them to turn up.........and don't place any value on wasted time
I mis Air Southwest. I went to Bristol a number of times and flew on Air Southwest to both Plymouth and Newquay. I flew Dublin to Newquay as well.
Great video buddy! Well edited and explained, leaving us all the good stuff. 👍
Cheers Yannick, glad you enjoyed it 😊👍
😊 I am leaving cky enough to leave me in Cornwall I love exploring the area
It is nice down there 👍
Thank you, I never see flight reports to or from Newquay.
Cheers, I enjoyed the airport there too 👍
no it should be cleaned to covid cleaning standards including fogging between every trip. no excuses as covid is still a major issue.
I am surprised this regional flight was not on a saab 340 or ATR 72 or Q400 as is typical in Australia on regional flights.
EasyJet don’t have any turboprops unfortunately. They do a lot of these domestic routes with A319 & A320 like Birmingham to Glasgow to Belfast to Bristol etc - all around half hour flights. Watch this space though Nick because my return flight is on an ATR72 with Loganair. Cheers for the comment 😊👍
As I understand it, Nick, a lot of easyJet's UK flights are used as positioning ones for the aircraft before onward travel to Europe. Or, indeed, vice versa as was the case with this rather dirty bird
Hi Mark, thanks for the video, ut was really helpful as I'll be flying home from Uni in Manchester in July, taking this exact flight with Easyjet so its helpful to see the whole experience!
To answer your question about RAF St Mawgan, I myself have taken off and landed many times from the runway in a Grob Tutor, which us ironic as I previously stated as I've never flown commercial, only in military aircraft. The base is still heavily used for training by the RAF and is mainly used by the Air Cadet squadrons nowadays as the wings main headquarters. The air vase is situated to the left of the runway as you come down, whilst the airport is to the right. Hope this helps!
Hi Joseph, glad I could help - nice quick flight this, I waited twice as long for the bus at Newquay Airport! Seems like quite an interesting place RAF Mawgan and a lovely part of the world to be situated too. I’ll be back down there again at some point so I’ll be sure to get a good look on approach. Cheers 😊👍
Hello Mark, I am flying Manchester to Newquay on June 5th. Is there a taxi rank outside the airport or do you have to dial a cab? Airport looks small and very chilled :-) The plane should have been cleaned; it looked in an unclean state. They wouldn't have gotten away with that during the COVID year in 2021 surely?
The weather did look beautiful And on the lack of cleanliness of that plane, well it was both disappointing and concerning. After all Covid is still around. On a brighter note, I'm looking forward to your next video.
Yes Debra, the weather stays pretty-much the same all weekend so be assured there's some blue skies on the next few videos! The cleanliness was the only thing that let this flight down. I really like Easyjet so hopefully this was just a one-off.
Really enjoyed this video I have subbed. Always wanted to go on a airliner but never had the chance yet. Always wanted to takeoff from London Heathrow on a Boeing 777 or A380.
Great video as always mate, keep it up. Cheers for now
Thanks Ben for your comment and support. Oh and ‘cheers for now’! 🤣
I've just booked an EasyJet from Manchester to Newquay for later this month, for a little break. Can't wait!
Hi thanks for the comment. Yep I would fly Easyjet again down there - a nice quick flight to a nice little airport. You can get the bus into Newquay too although it can be a bit of a wait. Have a good trip 😊👍
Great vid, not sure why someone was clapping? As for the cleaning it should be done especially given it was on the ground for an hour and a half, thanks for sharing.
RAF St Mawgan is still used as a training station. Although it's RAF based it trains personnel from all services in Defence Survival training and Is also responsible for looking after the remote radar head at Portreath
Hi Paul, thanks for the info. I wonder what 'defence survival training' is all about. Nuclear war?
I'm not going to pretend I am too excited about an easyJet video... The only jets I like are rails or nights 😎😉 Seriously though Mark your videos are very informative and getting more polished every time, and I can't wait for the branch line videos! Ps. Dirty buggers and their crisps and the one person who clapped on landing, was that you? 😂
Haha, no it wasn't me but there's a lot more of that from my recent Latvia trip and I did feel compelled to join in! Yes the branch lines - some were better than others imo but it'll be interesting to see which ones people prefer. Maybe I can do something on a community post?
@@LetsMakeaTrip Do a poll 👍🏻
@@NonstopEurotrip posted-up a predictable (but hopefully very useful) starting poll.
A fun video ! I like their orange / grey seats !!
It looked ( the wing & view under ) like as if it was computerized graphics...,was it enhanced ,or naturally like that !!? It looked unreal !! Lol.
What a terrific landing & nice weather you had there !! 😀👍👍💜💜💜💜🥁🐉🎵🎤🎶✈🛬💕💞
EasyJet yes I’ve had some good flights with them overall. I can guarantee the wing and view is not computerised on any of my videos just because of the simple fact I wouldn’t know how to do it 🤣 so yep, all natural it was just the weather was unusually nice for the uk!
@@LetsMakeaTrip LOL. 👍 That's so funny !! Lol. But,that means you're real good at taking video !! Lol. Seriously !! It looked too perfect as if digitally enhanced or something ,the colours ,the shadows on the wing ,everything looked so vivid !! WOW ! Thank you for your reply ! 💜💜💜💜🥁🐉🎵🎤🎶💞
Superb 👍👊💖😇🥳😃😍😄😀😀😀😀
Thanks Derisley 😊
Thanks for taking us along! Scenery was beautiful.. but shame on EasyJet! The planed should have been cleaned!
Hi Carol and many thanks for the comment. Yes shame about the state of the aircraft but overall I’ve had a decent time with EasyJet over the last couple of years so it wouldn’t put me off flying with them again. In fact I’d still choose them over Loganair on this route. This week’s video on my return with the latter will tell you why.
@@LetsMakeaTrip I look forward to the upcoming video. I don't know if it would put me off flying them, but I'd be sure to bring disinfectant wipes with me😬
Personally, I think this is a great airline I always take it when I'm heading to Milano,(italy) from London Luton airport and yeah it's pretty comfortable anyways cheers😅👍
Another top review as always. I have to say that standard of cleanliness is unacceptable. Otherwise I think easyJet are a decent airline.
Hi Tim, cheers mate. Yes, same here - I really like Easyjet so i'm hoping this was just a one-off. It certainly wouldn't put me off booking with them again and the times I've flown with them during the last couple of years I haven't had any other issues with cleanliness.
Good vid
Thanks John
Love your videos on transport. Theyte sleek, informative and good to watch. I'd like to start a transport vlog. What camera do you use? I'd have to use my phone for the time being. I like anything to do with transport.
Hi Maxine, I use a DJI Osmo Action but I started off with my phone too. You do notice the difference with a dedicated camera though. Good luck with your vlogging!
It's always cloudy in Manchester lol
Haha, yeh, I think I got pretty lucky generally speaking for this weekend. I’ll take that for Manchester, it’s better than it usually is 😂
I loved this video!! I’m making this exact trip in July next year this might be a stupid question but. Do I need a password even though I’m travelling from Manchester to Newquay
Hi Holl Ni, I tend to take mine as a form of id. EasyJet specify photographic id for domestic flights so I guess a driving licence or any other kind of official doc with your face on it would be ok. If in doubt, probably best to message them on social media. Cheers.
Hi, How high did it fly?
Altitude given in the video and displayed on the route map (also shown in the video).
Hi Mark.... sorry I'm late with my usual coments.... gr8 video as always.... you asked a question about RAF using civilian Airport..... I'm ex forces and I'm led to believe The RAF use every civilian Airport in the UK.
This is Usually in the form of 2 RAF TYPHOONS Like here at Newcastle to engage any threats.
Yes, I don’t know much about RAF use at civilian airfields tbh - obviously St Mawgan was very much an airfield and has retained much of its general appearance. Typhoons etc, are they from nearby RAF bases where they’re assigned civilian airports to protect?
@@LetsMakeaTrip yes m8.... crews and planes get swapped from time to time from main bases I believe while some do exercises around the mac loop area in Wales ect.
It always makes me judder when I hear the TYPHOONS taking off as first thing you think of is....are the Russians trying us on again to see how quick it takes us.
Mind you... the TYPHOONS have also been called out to lost aircraft which sometimes happens and they use visual and radio to guide the aircraft to its base.
Yeh, I bet we don’t know half of what goes on really. I haven’t been to the Mach loop for ages but used to work round there sometimes. Great sights!
Because it was a internal flight with in the UK did you need to show a passport to get throw security or can that flight be done if your a British citizen without a passport
oooooooo🦥
Excellent video Mark, very informative! You got very lucky with the weather there too with some stunning views!
I'm personally not at all a fan of Easyjet, and even less so now they seem to have come off the "low cost" model slightly as well to become more of a leisure airline - I would have taken them over Ryanair but not sure if I'd do the same over Jet2 or TUI.
Cheers mate, appreciate the kind words! I do like Easyjet and would put them above Ryanair and Wizz Air though I recently flew with both and had no complaints at all. Not sure about Jet2 - I've yet to try them so I guess I should really. Next flight with EZY is to Marrakesh which is a good long flight that one so we'll see how it stacks up comfort-wise and what sort of state everything's in by the time we get there!! All the best, Mark
How much time takes the flight?
Hi Nando_32. Flight time is approximately 45 minutes - info at 2:31
@@LetsMakeaTrip thanks
31000 feet just to go from Manchester to Newquay!? Waste of fuel I would have thought.
Hi Jim, thanks for the comment. I’ve been on shorter journeys tbh but next time, I reckon I’d take the train 👍
That is quite high for this trip ,usually you would expect a lower cruise. Glasgow to Birmingham easyJet flights also go above 30k ft
@@LetsMakeaTrip journey takes 8 hours minimum from where I live and the cost is twice as much by train. Why not get there in an hour and pay 50% as much?
Weather seems to be spring-like. 🤷
This is super-nice for the UK, I’m normally happy with anything other than rain 😂
I just noticed that your channel got the Community tab, kudos 🥳
Yes, I got a notification yesterday I think. I’m away recording some more content atm but when I get back I ought to try and do something with it! I do want to use it quite a lot because one of the main things about this channel is getting everyone involved. Watch this space!👍
thats because it is spring now. September and October is a lovely time of year especially with the flowers.
@@LetsMakeaTrip I don't think I used the community tab until I had 10k subs 😂
