Loving the fact that certain people mentioned Ryanair moving to GLA
Actually the person who suggested did not say this.
What was suggested was Ryanair had made a deal to begin GLA flights, which then opened a debate on whether they would move lock, stock and barrel or run a split operation.
Now The FACT is that Ryanair has extended flights from PIK during this period.
Using words like "FACT" in big letters to make your point is silly, as was explained to you before, FR are perfectly capable, as Northwest, Air Canada, Globespan, Aer Arann et al have done previously, to take and bank bookings for Glasgow(PIK) only to operate from Glasgow (GLA). I make no judgement on whether FR will operate from GLA though it is an open secret talks were held and it remains unlikely they will continue to ignore GLA in the medium term as their revised business model is rolled out.

That last point is key to understanding, having said that, there is a good wee market for West of Scotland sun holidays on the cheap, however PIK suffers from a perception of little attraction for inbound tourism in comparison with GLA.
