At just eight minutes long, this is the world’s shortest flight

Ever wished you could get to another country in less than 10 minutes? 
Well you now can after an Austrian airline announced that it has started the world’s shortest regular flight.

The flight time is only eight minutes and will have you crossing international borders in no time.

You only have to get yourself to either Switzerland or Germany to take the flight, which is being offered by People’s Viennaline.

The flight connects St Gallen-Altenrhein in Switzerland with Friedrichshafen in southern Germany and is part of a route which continues onward to Cologne in Germany.

The regional airline People's Viennaline airplane taxis into park at the airport on Lake Constance in Friedrichshafen, Germany, 02 November 2016. An Embraer 145 short-haul jet will connect the Friedrichshafen airport with the Swiss airport Altenrhein and the Cologne/Bonn Airport. World's shortest international flight for the around 20-kilometer-long route between the two regional airports will last around eight minutes.

It also comes with a great price of just 40 Euros (£36) for the short journey.
The airline has faced some criticism from the Swiss Green Party who say the flights should be banned on environmental grounds.

But they responded saying that driving around the lake for an hour would produce just as many harmful emissions as the short flight.
