Glasgow-4
It's the normal Pprune response to what pax actually want. Surely all anybody wants at an airport is to grab an espresso, a copy of the FT and somewhere to charge their laptop/iphone?

My local, NCL, has a branch of Greggs (and the same advertising hoarding as the one in the graphic) but they've got two new operations (Lingus to Belfast and Aegean to Athens) in the last month or so. One can actively pursue steak bakes and actively pursue new routes at the same time
Not snobbery it's an airport that is failing in aircraft operations yet no worry it has a Gregg's!! Shame it's not concentrating on getting flights rather than fat pies.

Know your market. Luton had a champagne bar that soon closed when the champagne could cost more than the passengers airline ticket.
Greggs will do well at Glasgow. Luton doesn’t have a Greggs, does it mean Luton is still more upmarket when comparing the two? Time to find the tin hat!

The way it's going imho it's only a matter of time before there are calls to resurrect the the EARL plans seeing GLA these days is more or less a poor provincial airport with not very much iwo connectivity to anywhere useful.

New pancake house to open at Glasgow Airport.
Best of luck to them, but come on Glasgow, its routes we need.

The James Martin Kitchen branding has gone on the outlet at the top of the old international security ramp. Now branded as the generic 'Café Bar' (the same as the outlet at the BA gates on the central pier).
Another nail in Glasgows coffin -
"The new Scottish Citylink service 902 will operate hourly, connecting Glasgow, Bargeddie, Coatbridge, Airdrie, Chapelhall, Harthill, Heartlands, Livingston and Edinburgh Airport, starting on March 6."

But there's already a direct Glasgow to Edinburgh Airport coach. The 902 will provide a coach from Glasgow to the towns above, and restores a service from these towns to EDI for staff as well as PAX. I would be surprised if many passengers from these places use GLA,

It's hardly a secret that EDI management are far more proactive at courting passengers. I bet the Citylink bus will be a far more comfortable experience than the GLA 500 cattle wagon.
