0:50 Flight attendant didn't miss a beat, immediately explaining why, and calmly. Total pro.

PA to reassure passengers 5 seconds after the balked landing was initiated. This is why we love easyjet.

Love neo engine sounds, I know people prefer the ceo engines and so do I, but these are so cool too

[steveabrams]

seemed that the flying pilot was “long” due to strong winds and decided for a “go around” ... nothing bad about it besides burning extra fuel ... very swift and professional flight attendant ... bravo!

After watching this, i realized how much i miss the sound of engines. The FA was quick witted. Well done.

I used to be cabin crew with easyjet in 2001, they were great to work for. This happened a few times, much better to abort the landing in windy conditions, so the plane isn’t dancing around the tarmac like James Brown. Unlike Ryanair who take a more zero fucks given approach, and slam you into the ground like a dart 🎯

Awesome catch! Would you be okay with me featuring this in my series Weekly Dose of Aviation? Of course you will be credited both in the video and in the description. Thanks!

Going Around is the most elegant thing a pilot can do! Pity they do it only when it is needed ^^

I just fell in love with the flight purser.

Pilot: "Oups, wrong island..."

We had this twice on an approach to Gatwick, I have to say the cabin crew were on it straight away explaining why we had aborted landing twice. Good communication skills. My wife was having kittens, but I enjoyed it.

Just back from here yesterday, never knew the wind issues of santorini. Most of the UK planes couldnt land and went to Athens, the greek airlines however seemed to have no issues. I was a day late coming home as plane taking us back to the UK couldnt land...its a beautiful place but as a nervous flyer..never again.

Legend has it, that they are still climbing to this day.

[Cappadoccia]

Looks like a beautiful place to visit.

This looks so good I thought it was MSFS for a second

[osvaldocandelaria]

I love Airbus Neos and also a go around 😍😅

[reyhosein]

Nice, but to me the more interesting approach into santorini is when you sit on the left, dramatic landscapes in sea.😊😊

That Flight Attendant dis a superb job!

Standard operating procedure when too many whales are porpoises are spotted sunbathing on the beach during final approach...this maneuver requires incredible attention to detail, reflexes, split second decision making, and experience from the pilot and co-pilot. Unfortunately, the vast majority of flight crew are unable to execute this maneuver due to lack of experience and passengers are simply left to their fate. The passengers on this particular flight are extremely fortunate as the pilots quick thinking and actions saved them from a horrifying vacation experience.
