Today I had the pleasure of taking my travel brand to the World Travel Market in London today. I spent the day talking to a number of different airlines, rail companies and a few tourist boards.

Below is a list of the airlines I was able to speak too;

Air Montenegro
Pegasus
Royal Air Maroc
Icelandair
Aegean

I will be writing about some of these interviews over the coming weeks. I have also requested a meeting with both Emirates and Corendon, however, I do not expect these to be granted given how busy they were today.

Furthermore, Visit “Scotland” are there, however, they have a very small team and their stand was near impossible to find.

The 1st Interview is out and is a brief discussion with Icelandair, hope you take the chance to read and any constructive criticism would be welcome. This was my 1st ever interview with me asking the questions and I am keen to hear feedback so I know how to improve.

Interesting that most passengers on the FI GLA-KEF are just doing there and back currently. Would have thought majority would be connecting onwards given the lack of direct flights.

Seems to be a lot of Icelandic folk in Carlisle at the moment, wonder if they flew into GLA.

He reckons the GLA tx market is weak so what chance do GLA bosses have?
