I believe with improved road and rail these days , domestic travel by air is a dead duck ... business model doesn't work .. yields are minimal.. Anything under 3, maybe 4 hours by road/rail I agree with you. So GLA/EDI-MAN for example is marginal at best. However, even GLA/EDI-BHX the plane wins ou...

[/quote] Yeah could see that from my vantage point on Saucelhill in Paisley. That was after it had done the initial Paisley hospitals flyovers and gone to East Kilbride. There were quite a few snappers who had gone, not realising it was going to come back over. [/quote] My son was very pleased he go...

Perhaps SG should look at its own airport to reduce the risk of importing COVID-19 . . . . . 32 out of its 36 weekly flights are to/from Spain & Portugal! Mibbe build a quarantine centre tae. I suspect they are going to need it. Observational humour only, no political commentary intended. The same ...

Continuing in the staycation theme, and especially now that Spain is once again on the quarantine list... :( We spent a day out in Loch Lomond with the family on Friday. Easy enough drive up the A82 as the overall level of traffic is much lower than it woudl normally be at this time of the year. Goo...

A brief trip report for anyone staycation-ing or daytripping... Spent a lovely day across in Edinburgh on Wednesday with an aim to walk up Arthur's Seat with the family on a lovely sunny day. Traffic from Glasgow to Edinburgh on the M8 was noticeably lighter at mid-day than 'normal', albeit with fai...

We are booked and paid for TFS in January, so I hope they dont hit us for more cash between now and then..... No. As if they’d do that. :roll: Jet2 sufficiently care about their brand reputation, and the backlash unexpected charges would cause in the British media would be ferocious, such that I wo...

A chat with close friends retired from the medical profession over a few wines and snacks on Saturday evening, revealed that not all countries statistics are telling the whole story. There are three kinds of lies... So a relatively simple piece of maths goes like this: R = 2.5, which is the number ...

The question you might get ask is why is Prestwick not currently awash with freighters to help service the current thirst for air freight ? I'm not sure it's even seeing a modest increase, is it just too far away from the south east and with other airports further up the pecking order ? I'm also no...

Jet2 appear to have postponed the restart of their Scottish flights to Spain for obvious reasons. The restart date currently looks to be Saturday 25th July but this will obviously be dependent on Scottish Government decisions. We had hoped to book GLA-ACE for the 16th but will now very likely not b...

Went straight over my house at relatively low altitude, sounded like a Chinook so I was rather confused when I looked up and saw the rotors pointed the wrong way for what my brain was expecting.
