I flew on one of the world's longest domestic flights. (10,000+km, 16 hours)

with your first purchase! You can’t put a price tag on your own health.

Happy new Year and I hope 2022 has been a great one for you. We're closing the year with an unusual flight, which travels from Mayotte to Reunion and on to Metropolitan France. All of those places are part of France (France treats its overseas departments as literally part of France, you see!), so this happens to be one of the world's longest and most unique domestic flights. The longest? Also French! Paris to Tahiti, operated by Air France and Frenchbee. Thanks so much for following me in 2022 - I have some big plans for 2023 and I'm looking forward to sharing those with you very soon!

Happy New Year to you...Thank you for sharing...

Corsair used to give great registrations to its aircrafts, there were 3 747's with registrations ending in SEA, SEX, SUN. They all had a different picture completing the livery, SEA had waves, SEX had a lipstick kiss, SUN had, oh surprise, a rising sun.
And at 7:13 it seems Air Austral is doing the same with F-OMER (overseas in French is said outre-mer).
It may just be a coincidence but there's also F-OREU (as in Réunion) so I think that when they can, they ask for a meaningful registration.
Happy new year!

Suoerb sunset Paul, geez the French know how to do Airlines. Very classy.

[MH-gh]

Love the shirt Paul😅😎👌🏻 Very Nice & Interesting Trip/Route…Happy New Year & keep the great content coming

[herenow]

I do like the look of the A320 neo - that looked a great trip and a bargain at that price!

[joermnyc]

Change of aircraft could be due to a mechanical issue, or the 2 hour layover is not enough time to prepare the aircraft for such a long flight?

[cinemagirl]

I really love watching your videos. This looked like a really fun trip. Have a great New Year

[educated_idiot]

Really nice flights showing how far France actually spreads. There is an even longer domestic flight with a french lowcost airline called FrenchBee from Paris to Papeete in French Polynesia totaling near 16000 km. French Polynesia is an absolute gem of a spot where I had the chance to live in for a year so if you are looking for another bizarre domestic flight this is it!

[srinath]

You should've flown from Dzaoudzi to Tahiti to Paris.

[GenkisTravels]

Awesome trip report. Not enough Corsair trip reports out there. :)

[MrGreatplum]

Happy new year to you Paul. Really interesting to see these flights from places most brits have never been - hope you were able to enjoy some hospitality there as well!

It's just a toiletry bag that has a bit of pink colouration on it, why does that make it for females? It can be used by any person of any gender, couldn't it?

Hello everybody thanks for your vidéo from a regular viewver from Réunion island where y done a stop over! Happy new year to your famille and you and à good healt!

[kenbriooo]

Thanks for all the videos this year, the best travel review channel on YouTube in my opinion. Keep up the good work in 23

[Papershields]

I love seeing an interesting trip like this. I’d do this sort of thing if only I had the money

Showers = layover wins. Always do your research and find out exactly where you need to go in the terminal during your break.

Your headphone testing face is the best! Remember when Air Austral flew Paris -Reunion - Sydney - Noumea and their plans for A380 with 840 seats ! Cool route. Thanks for the video & HNY!

[AdamAuxier]

Really enjoyed this video Paul. Appreciate your dedication to out-of-the-box videos!

[Kakdela]

Cool video! But 1k for a flight is kind of pushing it for most people, in fairness.
