No it was still very cramped when I was there a few weeks ago. I agree that the new Elvis bar takes up so much space with it's seating. They could have moved the bar or the bar seating area further down towards the fruit machines or better still done away with the fruit machines, i'm guessing though that they make a fair penny which is why they are there.
I'm back through there next week again, if there has been any improvement i'll leave a message.

The landside bar is now an overpriced Yates' with no food except microwaveable bacon rolls and egg sandwiches
Airside is now an 'Elvis' bar with odd seating which really is no good.

Yes indeedy it's getting cramped in there. Anyone know what the tin roof outside gate 3 is all about. Used to be nice having daylight out there as you waited in the corridor....
Surely they are not going to build something???

Ryanair PIK - CRL
I've just noticed on Ryanair's website that the Prestwick - Brussels Charleroi route has been reduced down to three per week. I was under the impression that it had been increased to daily for the summer at least. What the heck is going on with Ryanair at Prestwick? Now because they don't fly on the days that is convenient for me I'm going to have to fly from Glasgow to London City and catch the Eurostar instead. If Ryanair don't want to operate this route then maybe another low cost airline will. Hopefully Easyjet will start a daily service from Glasgow to Brussels.

Where do you get your info from James. On the Prestwick website it is showing daily until the end of October and it is also showing as available from what I can see on the RYR website

Runway 31, like Flyboh I checked the lowest fares section and the timetable on Ryanair's website. I also noticed on teletext the lack of the Charleroi arrival. Easyjet fly into Brussels but not from the UK. I'm hoping that either them or another loco will fly from either Glasgow or Prestwick to Belgium.

I'm just back from a day trip to London Stansted. I must say that since I last flew from Prestwick in March the departure lounge has got even worse. It's still every bit as overcrowded as it was in March due to the severe lack of seating. The new cafe where the bar used to be looks very nice but the prices are very expensive to say the least. I don't mind paying a bit more at an airport especially if I'm getting a cheap flight but that cafe really takes the biscuit! The carpet in the departure lounge was full of litter and really needed a good cleaning. The Peckham's cafe in the landside area is a welcome addition though. On the whole, I'm sorry to say that Prestwick Airport has really gone downhill in recent months. I would like to see a larger departure lounge that is cleaned regularly and more seats.

Hopefully there won't be anymore delays or cancellations. the longest I've ever been delayed was at Toronto a few years ago when the incoming British Airways 747 lost part of the fuselage encasing one of the engines somewhere between Heathrow and Toronto. The was only for four hours and was bad enough for me but hell knows what it would have been like for families with young children delayed for two days. I read in the Daily Record that Seguro is terminating their contract with Skywings.
