Dear all,
We all know flying in FS is fun but it is also time consuming to do it properly. Ideally we would like to have a complete flight from gate to gate but, if that’s not possible do you have any suggestions for short trips? Ideally completed under 1 hour real time.
Thank you

India Xray
Just look at your road atlas for this Country, pick a town and its airport, then pick another town and its airport that you would expect to travel to in half an hour by road. Then fly instead.
If you want to spread your wings, pick another Country.

Why don’t you sign up with a virtual airline, the one I am with (Qantas Virtual Airlines) http://www.curbe.com/QVA/qva/lounge.htm is a career based VA starting with Dash 8 flights doing the milk runs etc from Brisbane – Cairns with 4 stops on the way up. Australia is a great country to do Dash flights from due to the nature of the airfields, alot are small and require visual approaches or NDB approaches, you can then fly to a major airport like Sydney or Melbourne for an ILS or 2. The skills you teach yourself on the way are invaluable if you take FS seriously. The Dash route network covers flights from 15 minutes to 2hrs thus giving alot of variety & challenges, plus flying in Australia with the VOZ scenery installed is breathtaking in places.
We’re not the prettiest VA in terms of websites etc, but we’ve been alive for 10 years making us the longest Qantas VA serving Australia whilst others have come & gone.
FelixFFDS I think you are talking about the Loganair route from Westray to Papa Westray in Scotland
robert jonathan are you serious? you don’t know of any 2hr route networks to fly? Try Bristol to Spain/Portugal etc.

Isn’t there a flight between two small islands up north that takes about three minutes – seven minutes gate to gate?
