its amazing when you start to complain they sent the Skyteam A330 and not the better known baby blue standard colour. Great to see even if it is just a short one off charter series. Cant honestly see this leading to more. What happened to the odds on Scotland China link often harped about?

CabinCrew

Why did you find it 'amazing' he was starting to 'complain' it was in Skyteam livery? He was just stating the fact that the first Korean Air flight was in Skyteam livery it didn't look like he was complaining to me!

The poster gave the flight numbers, aircraft registration and details such as it was in Skyteam livery, where did you see any complaining?

calm down...I was the one complaining they never sent the blue one. As youve missed the point- the suggestion was its amazing we are discussing the colour of the plane never mind the fact we are fortunate enough to have the flight at all.

Well you didn't actually word it right did you, that's why I responded as I did as it seemed like you were making out he was complaining.

Lufthansa

Do you think Lufthansa will add more regular Munich flights? 1x weekly is pretty useless and I find myself having to fly from Edinburgh instead of GLA because easyjet run more regular flights I think that regular flights would work well.

Dusseldorf with Eurowings hasnt exactly set the heather alight, and Munich on their once weekly (presumably aimed at inbound) only runs 70% full, so cant see them massively expanding. FRA is where its at- and should be the priority.

What makes you say that about Eurowings? A 6x weekly service suggests otherwise, soon to be an A320/CRJ9 mix.

Lufthansa MUC does well considering it's a once weekly flight on a Saturday.

I've been a bit confused what the DUS flight is about, whether it is aimed at connecting pax or just point-to-point traffic.

Most connections only work well one way with the lack of an evening flight a big minus.

With Eurowings to CGN and Ryanair to NRN from EDI, it looks like most of that Rhine-Ruhr area's point to point traffic from Central Scotland is catered for.

....the fact DUS is only 6x week and not daily and its only being upgraded in aircraft size due to fleet changes (it could have been upgraded before but wasnt) and often carries only 60% loads. Not exactly due an upgrade IMO.

FR moving some more sunshine routes from PIK to GLA, is the writing on the wall for PIK?

Which sunshine routes are getting transferred to Glasgow? I've not heard anything recently.

Only 6x weekly? That's excellent in my book. Granted they're replacing the fleet but some destinations are being dropped or cut as a result. All the other UK destinations are still on the CRJ-900, and will subsequently switch to the A320 like GLA.

It's good news for pax; more cabin space allowing larger hand luggage allowance (German flights are popular with pax travelling around Europe and often carry large rucksacks) and no more hand luggage in the hold, thus boosting the service further.

I do agree with you re FRA however.

Ermm.. yep, it's only CRJ9s for the rest of DUS-UK. If we ignore the the A320s that appear on DUS-MAN.

Yes, I haven't heard anything about FR transferring routes from PIK to GLA. They are starting some additional sunshine routes from GLA that duplicate PIK's destinations, but I believe PIK is due to have a (slightly) busier schedule W16/17 than in previous years.

There are still some CRJ's on the MAN route as well though, correct?

There are, but also there are 17 flights a week rather than 6

I stand corrected.

Regardless, the majority of the UK routes are on the CRJ.
