Domestic on the E195
Ok, to avoid many many posts here is a summary of the domestic routes out of SOU and EXT on the E195. However these can change with the summer schedule so it is best to either consult the ECO label during the booking process or look at the online seat configuration where you can prebook a seat. Anything with more than 21 rows should be the E195.
SOU-MAN
SOU-EDI
SOU-LBA (occasionally)
SOU-JER (summer 09 so not sure what this year holds)
SOU-GLA
EXT-MAN (only certain rotations in the week)
Other domestic services ops ex-BHD, LGW, BHX, MAN

Ryanair also flew from Bournemouth to Glasgow, infact their BOH-PIK service seemed to do allot better than their BOH-EDI flight. Worst thing Ryanair every done was move this flight to EDI.

Connections
If the connections work, would there be any interest on Flybe's part to explore single daily direct services from Bournemouth to Glasgow, Edinburgh, Belfast? Jersey? Guernsey?

Ok guys lets have some perspective here please.
I have just been onto the BE website and a Monday flight between BOH and GLA is £58.00 in June. Not at all unreasonable and clearly shows that the fares vary.
It is averaging at an 8 hour drive covering approx 495 miles. This is direct without any hold ups so I reckon it would take a little longer myself. I have a decent car which would be able to do that journey on one full tank costing approx £70-£80. Without taking into consideration the cost spent at service stations, and wear and tear on the car I do not think that the BE fare is that bad even if it is still a 5 hour journey when considering the connection at Manchester.
Rather than moaning once again about Flybe, for gods sake show a bit of flaming support will you. Be grateful for the Manchester service, and just wait and see if additional direct services will be introduced. It is getting very tedious reading the moaning and groaning about this, that and the other.

The problem we have is that MOL has managed to convince the travelling public that they can fly anywhere for 9.99 - a few can, but only as loss leaders. Running an airline isn't cheap. If you go back 15 years ago, pax were paying over £350 for a GLA-SOU return on a J31/J41 which would be £500 return today and the airlines were struggling to break even. Domestic airline fares are cheaper than they ever were. Looking at other modes of transport I've just looked at National Express for a day next month and the first day I looked at is quoting a single ticket GLA-BOH for £69 by bus or £140 by rail. £58 or even £80 for 2 flights GLA-MAN-BOH doesn't seem unreasonable by comparison.

Fifteen years ago how many people did it take to book me a ticket? How long did the travel agent spend battering at the keyboard to book a simple Shuttle flight? I NEVER want to go back to that palaver. Those barries and costs went out the window with good reason.

Skipness One Echo, sorry I dont see where I'm being a snob and I can assure you I've got no desire to go back to the days of high fares and the CAA deciding which airline gets a given route. I'm merely pointing out the way in which domestic fares are far, far cheaper than they have ever been, yet we have posters up in arms that they could drive somewhere for less than the cost of flying. An airline that charges less than a bus or train company to fly you between 2 points isn't being unreasonable in wanting £60 or even £80 off you. The fact that your quoted 189Y 737 no longer links EDI-BOH makes my point. Some regional routes will not sustain Ryanair's ultra low fares and good though the CASM of the Q400 is, Flybe will always have to charge more than Ryanair would to make a route work.
