TRIP REPORT | Biggest Storm Ever Seen! TOGA!! | WIZZAIR A321 | Vienna to Heraklion

Wizzair Trip Report flying from Vienna to Heraklion onboard one of the Wizzair Airbus A321 on crazy stormy morning in Vienna.

The biggest storm I've ever seen at an airport. Already when we were at the boarding gate, it started to rain with huge intensity. During taxi, the storm cell arrived to the airport and several lightning strikes were visible prior departure. Several planes were waiting meanwhile at the holding points. The airport was closed for departures for some minutes.

With the storm next to the airport, it's almost compulsory to use the full thrust available in takeoff, so in case any wind shear is encountered, the plane will be already at full thrust. And that was the case: the engine roar we experienced in this flight was extreme. Epic. Amazing.

After a non-standard right turn, still over the runway and over the terminal, we escaped the area at max speed and thrust. After 10-15 minutes, we were clear of the storm and flying to the amazing island of Heraklion.

I hope you will enjoy the video as I enjoyed recording and editing it. I know that many of you wouldn't like the experience it, but for me was an amazing oportunity for recording a different Trip Report!

Have you flown already with Wizzair? Which route? How was the experience? Have you been to Heraklion? Maybe in another Greek Island? Have you ever seen such a storm like this one onboard a plane? Lot of things to talk about! Read you in the comments!

I wanted to write this a long time. You have one of the best trip report channels. I love your style of filming and explaining. The filming of cities/places from the air with names is fantastic as well as planes on the ground. If feels like one is travelling with you. Keep it up. Cheers from Sweden.

[MadeiraAirport]

The weather difference between takeoff and landing is amazing :)

[danieleregoli]

Amazing footage of the huge storm, and of that beautiful, dramatic, noisy take off!!!! Fantastic!

[lugash]

Fantastic....well captured....yes massive storms...great shot of the airport on departure!!!!

[neilhaas]

I love that sound. Full thrust take off amazing. Those were bad storms. Love Wizzair.

[itsmyplaneexperiences]

Such a cool take of wasn’t it I love the sound it makes when you take of!!!🤩🤩🤩👍Amazing video👍🤩🤩

[neilhaas]

The Wizzair fleet 4 planes only that's nice. Wizzair destinations. Love Wizzair.

What a great language Spanish is! Tormenta = storm! Love it! Anyone who flies a lot has probably had similar experiences with storms like that one, I suffered one coming out of Milan Linate in October 2003, going to Trieste, horrendous it was! It was very well filmed by yourself excellent, you could almosy smell the fear coming from the other passangers!

[MrOreo]

I like these type of videos, Where they’re taking off from places where it can be cold,
And the flight will be escaping the cold and into holidays :)

[Thomas-eufj]

Engines at full thrust...Wow ! What an amazing sound. Better than any music🎶 Felt like I was sitting on that plane. Loved it❤

[jcbaily]

I do agree with you that it is nice to see people traveling again!

[Zippy]

7:35 - Note the An-124 Ruslan on the ground.

Some nice shots there, looks like the damn apocalypse. :-)

[travelshad]

That thrust sound is music to my ears!

[neilhaas]

What a trip report unbelievable. Very nice plane A 321neo Wizzair. I love the sound of this. My favorite plane.

[steewithees]

Epic video. The weather is so spectacular and NEVER in my 42 years of commercial flying have I seen the engines remain at full blast / TOGA mode for so long (they usually throttle back after about 90 seconds, creating that 'sinking feeling?). Added bonus with respect to the destination - I LOVE Crete and have visited the island 23 times since 1991 (although I usually fly into Chania, having friends who live in the area. I have only flown into and out of Heraklion 3 times.) Subscribed!

That right turn after take off gave a good (albeit brief) view of the terminal. Thanks for sharing.

[zxtro]

I just love to see people fly, because I don't get in a plane very much, like maximum 6-8 times per year. And I the feeling when flying. You are doing an amazing job! Keep going! :)

[headshunter]

That take off was just awesome ! Thank you for sharing with us.
