If you're looking for an experience that's unique and unforgettable, then look no further than the world's shortest commercial flight—the two minute journey from Orkney Islands – Westray to Papa Westray in Northern Scotland.

The shortest commercial flight in Scotland—and indeed the world—is the hop between the islands of Westray and Papa Westray in the Orkney Islands. Operated by the regional airline Loganair, the flight is officially scheduled for two minutes, but under ideal wind conditions, the actual time spent in the air can be as little as 47 to 53 seconds. The distance between the two runways is only about 1.7 miles (2.7 km). This flight is a vital lifeline for the local community, as the alternative ferry crossing can be disrupted by the rough seas of the North Atlantic. The aircraft used is usually a Britten-Norman Islander, which carries only eight passengers and a pilot. Despite its incredibly short duration, the flight is a major bucket-list item for aviation enthusiasts and tourists visiting the Orkneys. Passengers who take the flight even receive a commemorative certificate signed by the pilot, marking their participation in the world's briefest journey by air.
