Westray to Papa Westray flight






This is reported to be the shortest scheduled flight in the world.



It goes from Kirkwall on the island of Westray to Papa Westray or visa versa and takes 2 minutes.

No kidding.

Several years ago several DITers went to the Orkneys in Scotland, heard about this flight, and considered taking it.

For some reason, they didn't do it, though they have been accused of being the intrepid travelers and this is something they would do.

Perhaps (my memory fails me) it wasn't scheduled the day the 'Intrepids" were in the area or the weather was probably inclement.

Whatever the reason, we have always wondered what it would have been like.

Well, guess what.

What?

Well, now we and you can take that flight.

It will be another vicarious experience, of course.

And it will be a whole lot cheaper.  As I recall, it was not cheap.

Anyway, with that by way of background, for those intrepid travelers on that trip years ago,

And for the rest of you who probably never even knew such a flight or place exists,
