well hello and welcome and today we're doing something a bit
different we're putting the 'fly' back into fly
drive explore we are so we're going to
greece with easyjet yes the first time since the dreaded event. so first
time flying since March yeah join us see what the flying
experience is like are you ready, i'm ready, are you nervous, a bit
anyway let's go, okay bye
Mel's already masked up
so we're just about to go into the airport and they've got a temperature
monitor check-in station
so that was unobtrusive you just walked through
a marquee and that's it so the thing is i was worried because
i've been carrying the bags and i'm always quite warm but obviously
that's not a problem
we've arrived slightly early which usually isn't a problem
but they're just checking in people two hours before
so if you're slightly earlier they are not letting you check-in
probably to control numbers in departures
but there's nowhere to sit and if you go out you'll have to go through
temperature screening again how are you feeling okay you're okay
as you can see there's plenty of passengers coming through
and i think our flight's pretty much booked up
so the queues may look long but because everyone's spaced out
they are getting through quite quick but the main tip
don't turn up too early, well we're just through security
and that was easier than normal wasn't it it wasn't too bad yeah
I was picked up for a total body scan.
but where you put your stuff in the trays they're all
screened off so that was quicker than normal
yeah, I think we chose the dullest place to sit and
to film this segment.
despite the virus you still have to run the gauntlet
of the duty-free shops
The airport is pretty empty right now.
Considering its august.
well we're on board and it's relatively straightforward it feels the
same apart from the masks as it used to be
"due to the current health precautions, we are unable to provide inflight brochures"
what do you think of the procedure so far, it's okay actually
at first it's a bit weird because it's new but it's surprising how quickly you
get used to everything
i can't film not by the window so there's
no take off montage oh you'll be chucked off
so I was lucky the person sitting by the window
has moved to join her boyfriend so myself and Mel
have got the full three seats between two of us, so no one's sitting next to us
and I've got a window seat now but I missed take off
Anyway, that means I can stick in some out of the window shots.
you have to have those in a flight video
it's coffee time but at least that gives you a chance to take off the mask
well this is a bit of a mess but there we are, we are in Greece
so I forgot to end the video yesterday
indeed the experience wasn't as bad as we thought it would be and the end
bit, the chaos at the airport turned out not to be chaos it only took
us five to ten minutes to get through it was quite quick really, so
it was not that bad, no, so anyway I think it's definitely worth it
to get views like. That's a bye for me and bye for me.
