Scotland, meanwhile, is home to one of the quickest commercial flights you could ever take. The scheduled journey between the Orkney islands of Westray and Papa Westray can take as little as 53 seconds under favorable conditions.

By the time you've finished settling into your seat, the plane could already be preparing to land!

Which post made you laugh the hardest, Pandas, and which one left you wondering, “Only in Britain?”
