Ba 747 retro flights have been cancelled to Glasgow, Manchester and Newcastle. Shame as I hoped to see it.

For those who were wondering, yes you could have done both legs very easily with 90 minutes. As you disembark from domestic flights into the terminal at GLA, you would simply just need to stand around and wait for the boarding to start for the return leg. No security needed as you'd just simply be a UK-UK transfer passenger, who already cleared security in LHR. You only need to clear security in GLA from domestic flights if you come from the highlands and islands which have no screening before departure as the aircraft are too small to legally require it. Those arrivals are sent through IOM/CI arrivals and would need you to go back through security to get to the main hall. Tiree and Barra are two such routes I've flown on the twin otter which didn't use the normal domestic arrivals process at GLA. |

Nice to see TS keeping their twice weekly schedule to YYZ for Winter 19/20 |

If you are in effect self-connecting in this way is there a chance they wouldn’t allow you to board as you’ve been offloaded as a no-show? This isn’t GLA specific as I’ve wondered this elsewhere, but if you’ve not scanned your boarding pass to enter airside it seems a risk. There’s Domestic connections at Glasgow, and scanning your boarding pass at security isn’t sent to BA so why would yo be offloaded. So if you wait at BA part of the Terminal after leaving the aircraft you would scan your boarding pass just like you would if you had arrived from any UK airport just less of a walk ie from the East pier where the Loganair flights arrive to BA Departures. All UK airports scan to CAA rules so no need to be rechecked. |
LH are dropping MUC at the end of the S19 schedule. Maybe a route LM might be interested in taking over. |

Not dropping it, LH are making their MUC-GLA route seasonal.
Below is a section from this article. However Business Traveller has now learnt that Glaswegians will be losing their route to Munich with the final flight operating on Saturday October 26. After that date anyone wishing to fly Lufthansa from Glasgow to Munich will need to change planes in Frankfurt. In a statement to Business Traveller, Lufthansa says “despite all efforts the route was commercially not profitable. We regret this decision which was not an easy one for us.” |
FRA will do well to last another year as well.

Clearly there's not enough traffic to support both GLA and EDI, and they've chosen EDI.

Nothing wrong with that is there? Besides they also fly to many other cities. Bottom line Glaswegians like cheap travel and LCC. Maybe cities of interest and culture also don't figure highly..😜

Hmm some major assumptions there as regards Glaswegians especially as there are more LCC flights from EDI than GLA. Perhaps it’s inbound tourists who are the deciding facquite do tor with the airlines given that Edinburgh is the tourist capital of Scotland |

Look, the GLA connection is mainly intended to feed LH's dual hub operation via FRA/MUC, just like TK do via IST, all of which do well at EDI and not GLA. GLA has had multiples tries at both LH to FRA, this is the third iteration, likewise Air France to CDG, all failed at GLA but continue with multiple daily frequencies out of EDI. It's international connectivity writ large. Frankly GLA is Scotland's Gatters to EDI's Heathrow. Bucket and spade outbound versus capital city with great business connectivity. GLA's business offering is actually worse than it was when I was growing up in the 90s, not many UK airports can make that claim. Of course traffic volumes are up but just like Belfast (there's a link right there!), it's a case of #thatlldaeme |

GLA was a dead loss from both airports with a night spent in FRA going out from EDI and all other connections needing at least two flights. It depends on your final destination, but in all the years I did it, I couldn't understand why we just did not have a single Central Belt Airport in Scotland. |

Better not tell Manchester or Birmingham then....

"Traffic volumes are up." At Glasgow? Your posts look great to those who don't know but do you really think before you post, doesn't look like it, just the usual anti-Glasgow diatribe. Glasgow volume is down, yes, down.

Perhaps you should calm down, take your own advice and think before you post. As for me with my "usual anti-Glasgow diatribe", that's utter rubbish, I have supported GLA all my life, I was a local, however I try and be honest in my analysis and take the fan-boy goggles off as frankly they don't help anyone. |
