Back onboard one of my all time favourite aircraft, the Boeing 757! This time was for a blast down to Lanzarote, one of the Canary Islands from a grey & wintery Manchester. This aircraft, one of very few 757's flying these days without winglets! 34 Year old, G-LSAI. The exact same aircraft that I flew on from Manchester to Prague back in December 2015. You can check out that video here:    • Jet2 Boeing 757-21B | Manchester to Prague...  
A very busy flight down to Lanzarote, only a handful of empty seats throughout the aircraft, fortunately for me one of them was 8B, next to me. Not the greatest legroom on Jet2's 757's it has to be said, but the choice of food and quality of service is always good, never had any bad experiences with them. Although I did have my doubts that this flight would get swapped to a A321 or maybe a 737. But obviously that wasn't the case.
Anyhow once onboard, we pushed back nearly 30 minutes behind schedule and just as we did the heavens opened. A torrential downpour consisting of a mixture of rain & snow. The skies to the north of the airport looked full of it. After starting engines, taxied out to RWY23R for departure towards the South West. Climbing above the clouds to 37,000ft. Once in the cruise I show you a little of the seat area, legroom as well as a look out the menu & prices of what's on offer to purchase whilst on a Jet2 flight. Legroom isn't great unfortunately, I'm 6ft exact.
Unfortunately not much in the way of views during the flight, in fact almost the entire way across France, the Bay of Biscay, Spain, Portugal and down the Atlantic it was grey, dull & overcast. Caught a glimpse of land over northern Spain, other than that nothing. A beautiful final approach into ACE along the coast and over the beach onto RWY03. Landing just a few minutes behind schedule, despite the 30 minute late departure, after a flight time of 4 hours 2 mins.
