French Connection is more of a Main Street brand so it's a bit unfair to say it's a designer store for 'minted punters' a term I really find annoying especially 'punters' when 'passengers' are concerned.
If you don't want to shop you don't need to as you could always have a coffee and admire the marvellous views from the large glass windows overlooking the whole airport!
Terminal 5 is a great terminal it has lots to offer to all tastes 'minted or not' and I always enjoy using it, it makes a huge difference after a flight with BA from Terminal 3.

EDI and ABZ S18 May flights with AF to CDG now bookable, GLA not.... surely not dropped?
Had encouraged huge percentage increase in monthly pax travelling to CDG, but with base fares remaining in the lowest bucket doesnt bode well (competing EZY charges quite high). First A318, then down to Hop! Emb, now unbookable. Doesnt look good. Wonder if it was actually too low frequency /timing/ consistency not good enough for connection opportunites. Given that a huge amount of AF connections are South and West, one presumes little impact from ie Emirates (as as similar set ups elsewhere in UK doesnt seem to impact)
I understand investment in advertising is/was significant on this route. Strange when KL ex AMS does very well. Maybe its AF perceived reputation!
No legacy FRA or CDG connections is not great news.

T5 is great. For minted punters who have money to burn at designer stores like DG and French Connection!

With EZY's Hamburg base closing, how safe is the GLA base?
It is one of the smallest throughout the entire network and has been stagnant for over a decade.
Are EZY looking to have fewer bases while concentrating growth at their very largest bases? If so, there must be question marks over the future of GLA.

I have a little knowledge of Ezy GLA operations . AFAIK the routes served from GLA have grown from 4 c.10 years ago to over 20 now .
One airframe was added in 2006 taking the total to 4 .So in that respect i guess you could call it "stagnant"
EZY will close any base ,large or small that does not meet there ROCE target . Previous closures have included Madrid and Rome , both substantially larger than GLA .
As to the future , who knows , the geo-political situation in Scotland does not encourage large inward investment . The cut proposed in APD would surely encourage all airline operators in Scotland to look afresh (if it ever happens )

Amazing growth month on month for past few years. EK noted as adding to increases. Their service really is the the success story in Scotland ME routes. Presumably the rumoured July 18 A380 launch still on track.
Wonder if VS to MCO can increase in any way if they too are contributing to growth.
Nice to see LH MUC increase confirmed

Due in at the usual 12.35. Made it down at 12.55 due to aborted landing. From memory due out at 14.45(??) (an extra half hour built in perhaps) but not airborne until around 16.00.
Point I was making if its to become a regular service will EK be willing to allow for significantly increased groundtime over the current 100/105 minutes scheduled for the current 777's

But that goes without saying. Of course the A380 requires more turn around time. It's a much bigger aircraft.
The A380 has a longer turn time, globally, for all airlines, compared against the 777. This would hardly be unique to GLA.

flights to canada
There appears to be a vast number of weekly seats to Canada ex Gla, in particular to Toronto. Any idea if air Canada, west jet and air transat are filling their aircraft? In particular, I wonder how westjet are doing via Halifax Hopefully all doing well.

The only way you'll know that is with peak summer CAA official data. They all operated with good loads last year and the schedule is similar this year (albeit with WestJet less frequent towards the end). Air Transat felt the need to add extra capacity this year (summer and winter), so at a guess id say 'all doing well'
