Knock - immediate turnaround?
I'm curious to try flying to Knock. There's one rotation from Gatwick, so to do it as a day trip flight I'd need an immediate turnaround at Knock.
Does anyone know the airport, and whether it would be possible to run round to board the flight I got off?

Provided you were amongst first off and you already had your boarding card for the return I'd say you'd almost definitely be okay .. main risk would be if there's a flight departing shortly after yours which made security a bit slow ?

I've never been to Knock, and I'm collecting airports so to speak.

You'll have to come out and go back in (and put your €10 in the collection plate) and it'll be grand
but why?

Just to follow up, having completed this, I think the issue at Knock would be the payment of the €10 indulgence. A pure B2B would be no problem at all, but the question would be whether the payment window and security was open for a quick turnaround. The passport control was very quick and easy, with seats at the front or rear you'd be out landside while other passengers were disembarking, the question would be whether you could get back airside in time (with a staffed channel, no problem).
And what a lovely corner of the world it is, lovely approach through clear skies when I did it in late December.
