I've been twice - both arrivals with Atlantic, but one departure with SAS. From Reykjavik (city airport) once and Copenhagen the second time. We did a go-around early in the approach the second time due to a snow storm. Weather there changes often, so we just held for half an hour, (while the one snow plow serviced the runway) and landed no issues. A Faroese couple behind us kept us informed since the pilot only gave announcements in Faroese and Danish. I had similarly looked up their fleet and arrival procedures beforehand, so had full confidence. Wonderful airline.

The Faroes might be a pretty looking place but never ignore the fact that theres some dark little secrets that most wouldnt know. Every year hundreds of whales and dolphins are herded into shallow bays in the Faroes where they are beached, killed and butchered for their meat in the name of cultural practice. In 2021, 1428 Atlantic white-sided dolphins were killed and suffered prolonged death in the process. This practice needs to stop, majority of the people of the Faroes doesnt even consume whale/dolphin meat, why does such cultural practices still seen in 2022?

Uh yes, the Faroes, my personal favourite in the north. Been there 2 times and a third time is basically set already. RC is indeed a great airline and many european carrier could take them as an example how to do things! Nevertheless I took the Wideroe Q400 to Bergen, when I returned from the Faroe Islands this spring. Yes, 1 hour and 45 minute Dash-8 flight over open water. Couldn't let this opportunity go, when I was there

Any flag carrier that doesn't actively crush domestic competition. ie certainly not Qantas though if I want an Australian antarctic flight I will have no choice. More sheep than people, houses with grass roofs, if you didn't show the flag or say it was 90 minutes from mainland Europe, people might have thought you were talking about New Zealand.

As a plane spotter, Atlantic Airways was a disappointment. The staff was not informative or nice. I wanted to fly round trip from Vagar on a helicopter, but I as told I couldn't do that. As such, I missed what I really wanted to do. However, the islands are like nothing else I have ever seen.

Great video and a place I would love to visit but I just don't think I could because of their whaling. Does things like this ever come into consideration when you visit a place and what is the whole situation there like? Is it on the menu in places? Did you see any activities

Hey Jeb and Suzanne. looks like it's gonna be an informative and really enjoyable series of vlogs from this trip to the Faroe Islands.
Can't wait for the next one.

Yes, definitely take Atlantic Airways when going to the Faroe Islands. Last I knew SAS pilots dont have the extra training and software that Atlantic does, so their landing rate is much lower than Atlantic.

The overhead announcement at the Oslo airport sounds just like the one at Heathrow! I wonder if they use the same recording/ person.
