* enthusiasts were desperate to book and when I last looked at the Glasgow tickets they were over £360 one-way in economy, for 25 August. Business was £471.
On pricing, I nabbed a Club Europe fare very early on, one way from GLA to BHD via LHR for £350. Turned out somewhat cheaper than what others were paying for economy before they sold out. It seemed the fares went north, very quickly based on demand as everyone began to hear about it.
Refund in progress.
