It is direct, via LHR, That's what "direct" means, one ticket :p

You'tr thinking of "non stop". No reason VS wouldn't pick it up again but BA? 99.99% unlikely.

Hial Flyer 9th May 2016 21:15

Does direct not mean same flight number not same ticket.

smith 10th May 2016 13:53

Direct means one aircraft with the same flight no. It may stop on the way. Any change of plane does not count as direct.

Not true. Direct means it is one flight number. It may involve a change of aircraft, however where it does, the connection is guaranteed. i.e if the inbound flight is delayed, the second flight will be held at the airport until it arrives.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_flight for more information.

Yes, a massive increase suddenly - up 35% on March 2015. EDI-KEF saw a 96% load factor whilst GLA-KEF was around 76%.

On the other hand, Icelandair have premium economy, carry cargo and are generally much pricier than easyJet.

Wycombe 11th May 2016 12:18

.....not forgetting that there is also now a KEF service from ABZ aswell!

Love Iceland, but the growth in flights from around the UK is nothing short of incredible over the last few years.

10 DME ARC 11th May 2016 12:43

KEF - Is being marketed as a one stop cheap way to get to the US as well as a short stay holiday destination! Doing a DXB mid Atlantic!!

VickersVicount 13th May 2016 13:05

Air France launching GLA-CDG in March 2016 with daily A318, morning departure
And now appears to be year round with same once daily service throughout although listed as EQV for aircraft so presume same mix of 318/9
Now just need twice daily for better connections

sinbad73 19th May 2016 10:01

FR starting SOF-GLA on 07 September bringing forward the previous start date of end of October. SXF-GLA will also increase from 4 to 5 a week during September/October prior to going 6 weekly in November.

mwm991 19th May 2016 14:19

Are there many Bulgarians in Glasgow/West of Scotland? There are far more Romanians and even Slovakians than I have expected. Lithuanians there seem to be a number of too in addition to the Poles.

Callum Paterson 26th May 2016 09:03

This week has seen a quartet of new routes starting from GLA. Thomas Cook to Almeria, Barrhead Travel/ BACF charter to Genoa, Flybe to Newquay and Air Transat to Montreal.

Callum Paterson 29th May 2016 09:17

777 operating one of today's BA LHR-GLA-LHR services.

Callum Paterson 3rd Jun 2016 03:39

AeroMexico has further expanded codeshare partnership with KLM, as it launched its own Mexico City – Amsterdam service last week (28MAY16). The expanded codeshare service sees AM code being placed on Amsterdam-Glasgow-Amsterdam flights.

Delta to JFK
 
From next spring. No brainer.

CabinCrewe 7th Jun 2016 14:45

Nice new option but I would have slight concerns about North East US over capacity in the summer rather than it being a 'no brainer'. Suspect US/AA to PHL will be first to go...

A350Saltire 7th Jun 2016 15:58

AA/US will need to up their game with their TATL 757s as they have the weakest onboard product by far.

gopaisleygo 7th Jun 2016 18:14

Delta heads n toes above UA or AA product wise, great news for GLA, good conx too. Seems to be looking year round 2018

VickersVicount 7th Jun 2016 18:15

It has been confirmed from source that new DL JFK is indeed summer only with last flight westbound Thur 28th Sept 2017.

CabinCrewe 7th Jun 2016 18:23

Looks like the BH A330 was just a sub for tech A320, nothing more.
AC Rouge looking good so far with seat maps similar density this far out as other UK routes, prices even a little more than elswhere. AC know GLA inside out.

Yes, it's been flying to EMA and EDI as well, doubt it's going full, still early in the season too.

Callum Paterson 17th Jun 2016 15:06

Great news regarding Delta adding JFK. Competition on the New York route is long overdue.

In other news Balkan Holiday has commenced operations from Glasgow to Varna, the airlines second route from GLA and the airports third Bulgarian route.

Air Canada has commenced its new Glasgow to Toronto service with flights now available three times per week. This competes against Air Transat's existing 5x weekly schedule.

Glasgow Airport is now I believe, one of only two airports in Europe to host all of North Americas transatlantic flying airlines. Air Canada, Air Transat, WestJet, American Airlines, Delta and United. Dublin of course being the only other European airport to host all these carriers.

That's only true if you discount some North American carriers as neither Aero Mexico nor Cubana fly to DUB or GLA.

Well it's all the North American and Canadian ones which is still a great status.

LFT 17th Jun 2016 20:53

Quite a prestigious collection actually, well done Glasgow International Airport management team for securing these airlines.

VickersVicount 17th Jun 2016 22:19

I think Glasgow won Scottish Airport of the Year for second consecutive year which is great. Presumably customer satisfaction, slick security and absence of cramped queues etc accounting for a big proportion plus all the high profile recent gains and expansions

ELondonPax 18th Jun 2016 12:17

All N American carriers? London (using code LON as the definition) qualifies too.

Callum Paterson 18th Jun 2016 12:32

Not at one individual airport, as is the case with Glasgow and Dublin. :)

canberra97 18th Jun 2016 16:56

ELondonPax

LON, Well I think you know full well that doesn't count.

As Callum points out its at one individual airport!

VickersVicount 20th Jun 2016 17:39

AF extended into W16/17 albeit reduced schedule at this stage

LandingConfig 21st Jun 2016 21:39

Was put on sale daily a few months ago.

VickersVicount 21st Jun 2016 22:23

Its not daily W17 unless you know otherwise? Check the schedules 'at this stage'

A350Saltire 21st Jun 2016 22:53

It was on sale daily during the Winter but for whatever reason they have reduced it since which is disappointing.

GrahamK 22nd Jun 2016 06:42

A350Saltire is correct, it was released as a daily flight 2 or 3 weeks back and has now been reduced.

LandingConfig 22nd Jun 2016 10:25

Yes, should have said that it was initially daily before being reduced. May well change however, I really don't know.

Callum Paterson 26th Jun 2016 19:16

BA 787 Dreamliner operating from LHR this evening.

Does anyone know if Wizz are stopping their GLA-VNO route? I can't find any flights beyond the end of July on Wizz's website, but I can't seem to find any news of it stopping either.
