Inv-ams
What a strange excuse. Surely that should mean that no airline should be starting any new routes from INV or from anywhere.
One wonders how much influence the London airports had in this reasoning as onward travel is so much easier through AMS than the dire South terminal at LGW.
Perhaps the 'authorities' should check out how many people are using Aberdeen to travel onwards.
Inverness passengers have been sold down the river by HIAL and BA as we can no longer use the LON airports to interline to other airlines. The baggage service at LGW South Terminal, having to recheck-in, along with the ridiculously long queues through security now mean that a connection time of at least three hours is required through LGW making it a total nightmare. How ridiculous is that?
Cancellation of the Saturday afternoon flight from LGW-INV last year caused a waiting time of over 10 hours to connect from a transatlatic flight and a 7 hour wait from a European flight for me on flights booked before FLYBE either took aver or once they had and they ceased to care about their passengers and just cancelled flights that had already been booked.
I'm back to using Aberdeen as 'Budget Inverness' is not serving the interests of many of the travelling public in anything other than one off cheap flights.
Come on HIAL ask us what we really want for Inverness. Cheap flights, yes, in moderation but for those of us who wish to travel further for our holidays, a few charters through the summer are not sufficient. For those of us travelling long haul.......the conections are so abominable as to not warrant thinking about using Inverness at all.
