Join me for a spectacular long-haul flight in the **iniBuilds Airbus A350-1000** on **Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024**, flying from the Caribbean paradise of **Princess Juliana International Airport, St Maarten (TNCM)** all the way to **London Gatwick (EGKK)** on **VATSIM**.

This one turned into an absolutely stunning flight.

After departing St Maarten, we settle in for the transatlantic crossing with a timelapse through cruise — including an incredible sunrise over the Atlantic. But things get much more dramatic just before sunrise as we encounter a huge area of thunderstorms, producing an epic lightning show around the A350 as we make our way towards the UK.

We then return to the flight deck for the full arrival, descent, approach and landing into London Gatwick.
