Nice to see any development which improves the passenger experience.
Could I ask who is going to use it? Flybe have their own lounge, so have BA and I believe EI passengers use this as well

I was told by an airport employee that the flybe lounge is closing and will be replaced by this new lounge
Last time I was flying through Glasgow I was told flybe where closing the lounge there also
The new BA lounge at the airport looks very impressive now

I understand that BE are closing all their lounges - not that they had that many of their own anyway. I think most are being taken on by agency lounges such as the Aspire/Servisair lounges.

Heard that also about BE disposing of their own lounges. That may give a pay-per-use service at BHD now, should you be travelling on an economy ticket.
Also of note, would seem that Thomson are now using Volotea rather than BE for their Verona charters. Well judging by the flight indicator on their booking engine, changed from BE. Think that Volotea solely use B717, so a bit of variation come the summer.

Have Flybe scrapped Belfast City - Gatwick after March 29th?
Tried to price some April flights and website tells me latest I can book is 29th March. April not an option for Belfast City to Gatwick travel drop down box either.

I would read into either but 319's are operating on DUB and SNN LHR while BHD operating with 320 for quite a few flights of late. Can't be a negative indicator.
EI - BUD
I wouldn't read anything into that at all.

All sources say it's Volotea.
With only nine weeks until the first flight I'd reckon things are pretty firm on the operations side. There's a fair amount of paperwork and ground-staff training to be done.
Four-month tour season.

So can we assume that Topflight are using Air Dolomiti (Topflight have used them before for Verona flights from BHD), and Thomson are using Volotea for their Verona programme???
