Just in case you take flying for granted....

Here's a video of two lovely ladies in their 70s that have never flown before getting a chartered trip to Barcelona. Their reactions and emotions are priceless!

If you want to skip ahead the flight starts around the 6:00 mark.

Awesome!

What a great video!! That made my day. Watching it by myself, I realized that I was smiling most of the time and even laughing. Great!!

 

[JeppUpdater]

It's a very cool video - but imagine how they would feel in the back a flight on Spirit, Southwest, United, etc.

They are in for a real shock if they book their next trip on Ryanair.

That was a great watch. Thanks for sharing. Made my day!

Poor things...had to ride in an ERJ.

I'm still glued to the window and take lots of pics everytime I fly...as much as it may freak out my pax when I lean across them with my camera. I try not to take the views from the sky for granted.

"NO! I won't have the sleek, sexy Gulfstream! I want one of the worst jets ever made!"

Yes, I'm aware of the cost difference. Just making a funny.

Could you imagine chartering an aircraft and seeing "Gulfstream" on the travel documents?

There's a charter company in VZ that uses Metros.

That was a great video.

I have a few good memories from my days in line service watching people who had never flown corporate or private before, see a King Air or small Citation roll up and destroy whatever preconceived definition of "private jet" they had. Then of course there were the lucky ones who saw a Gulfstream or Global pull up...

There's still quite a few merlins running around in the states. Charter and whatnot.

 

[Finny]

It sure made my long day of flying that much more enjoyable thinking about the smiles on these ladies faces. We all certainly have awesome jobs!

That would be elder abuse in most blue states.

Merlins aren't the same!!!! Though, maybe the Metro isn't so bad with noise with how slow the props spin.

I hate you so much!

At least the Merlin can go 310 forever to relieve some of the pain!

 

[Shavingtime798]

This is really heartwarming...

That was a great video. Kinda makes you feel petty for bitching about the little things.
