Here I am at Edinburgh Airport and for once it isn't stupid o' clock.
I'm heading down to Birmingham to a conference and I thought I'd do a quick vlog
because I'm flying with FlyBe, who I've not flown with for a long time.
And it's a prop job. Welcome to RogVLOG.
As with all UK airports, Edinburgh isn't really an airport,
it's just a great big building full of twisty twiney routes through millions of
shops and restaurants. Now at this time in the morning,
I could go for one of the posh brands to get my breakfast,
but to be perfectly honest, I prefer a bacon butty from Caffe Nero.
And of course a great big black coffee.
FlyBe are a European and UK domestic airline flying a great big fleet of de
Havilland Dash 8 Q 400 aircraft. They've just been taken over by Virgin,
so I imagine soon they'll rebrand as Virgin Atlantic.
There's a surprising amount of leg room for such a small plane.
I always call these planes prop jobs because obviously they have propellers.
But actually inside the engine it is just like the jet engine except the
propulsion is provided by the propeller rather than the fans,
you see all the bigger jets. I think I do prefer the roar of the jet engine.
Nevertheless we're lined up and we're ready to go.
The flight was very lightly loaded but I wasn't allowed to move any further
forward for trim reasons.
FlyBe's in flight service is a typical UK low cost airline "But On Board"
offering,
but I like the glossy brochure with these rather appetizing photographs of the
food and drink.
As you would expect,
Iwent for the Kenko Black Americano coffee and it was
absolutely delicious. Travel bloggers always seem to do a little,
it's a video from inside the bathroom. So here's the bathroom.
Well we were on time and I'm here at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Birmingham
getting ready to give my two speeches at this conference this afternoon.
You know, business travellers often described FlyBe as FlyMayBe,
but today we got down here absolutely bang on time.
If not a little bumpy on the way.
