Is there a possibility that the Glasgow - Boston will be on the 737-800?.
Just made me thinks as the 767 is 3 class cabin, 757 will be 2 class cabin, but Boston is not being sold as "business" class but just either economy - no frills or economy - Premiuim service which is different to LPL - EWR?

The premium economy flights only have a capacity of 8 at the most, so it is likely that the B737-800 will be operating this flight, reconfigured. That means that there is still 1 more B757 to account for S07.

If you try to book GLA-SANFORD the taxes and fees for economy are £40 one way but for Premium Economy they are £60. Any idea why? Probably just a bit of stealth profit as the listed prices are £72 and £92 respectively.

Airport taxes are explained here:
http://www.visitbritain.com/VB3-en/t...ort_taxes.aspx
The relevant quote being:
# the rate for economy flights to all other destinations is £20
# the rate for club and first class fares for all other destinations is £40

Hi despegue, does that mean it will be 737-800 every day, or will busier days get 757 or 767?
That seems to leave quite a bit of spare capacity for the new 767 and 757 to go to other further destinations?

Go into the booking system on their website and select the three classes in turn and wait until it lists what you get for each fare.
Economy - No Frills
30" seat pitch
Economy - premium service upgrade
Priority check-in
Priority boarding
30kg luggage allowance
34" seat pitch
Business Class Service
Use of airport executive lounge prior to departure
Priority check-in
Priority boarding
40kg luggage allowance
Champagne prior to departure
Seats with 50" seat pitch

Does this mean that all their aircraft will be in different configs?
eg - 767 - 3 class (Sanford, Toronto, Capetown)
737-800/757? 3 class (Newark)
737-800/757? 2 class (Boston)
Rest of 737 fleet all Y class
Seems a bit odd for fleet utilisation/Maintenance checks etc?
Any ideas

Artical from the Scotsman Re: GLA - BOS route.
http://business.scotsman.com/index.cfm?id=1186982006
mentions that the route will be operated by a mix of a/c 767/757/737.
