£591 from GLA for same dates.
The cheapest I think I have seen is £555 from GLA when they advertise special fares.

QR have responded to EK by dropping fares, but not by much. They remain more expensive which could suggest strong advanced bookings. £158 more expensive in economy for a round trip 5-12 Nov to their DOH hub - £752. EK to DUB - £594 on same dates. An introductory price from EK no doubt but will be interesting to see how this develops. Has anyone seen any change in fares to/from GLA?
Haven’t looked. What will inevitably happen though is that QR will offer dirt cheap deals to DXB which will be cheaper than their fares direct to DOH and EK will offer dirt cheap to DOH which will be cheaper than their fares direct to DXB.

Stick to GLA, guys and galls, please. We have reported and digested the news of a development at another airport which is fine because it has relevance to the airline and market at GLA but we don’t need further minutiae about the other airports business. It doesn’t give carte blanche to go off topic.

I still belief Glasgow will see the return of the 2nd flight, not just for loads, but it is needed for the cargo capacity. Not sure what cargo capacity the A350 has compared the B777??
I think we will see the 2nd flight early next year

Today’s news hugely impacts GLA and we’re being silenced by one moderator who likes using the red font? This forum is a joke, much like the airport itself.
Looks like you could do with reading the post again. No one is being silenced, the mods are demanding that we keep on topic which is normal in discussion forums.

Let's hope we see a second EK or QR or TK soon because it appears that the eastbound routes are following a very similar path to the tx routes from Scotland.

Sorry to read that but not surprised. This was strongly predicted before I retired with a Winter 24 start date.
The main surprise is a 350. Hopefully GLA won’t be too far behind but once again they’ve been pipped at the post.

Not the best news but I do believe eventually the 2nd daily at GLA will return and I honestly do think TK will eventually launch GLA.
