  I am on my way to Heathrow airport to fly to Palma.
  The flight is busy.
  Euro Traveller has less than 9 seats empty, and Club has 2 seats left only.

  BA slow to ramp up and so my flights In August are with star alliance.

  I also have a week in Scotland but BA not doing much for staycations with just 2 flights a day to Glasgow. Hertz not helping with Sunday pickups at Glasgow only possible with a £35 additional fee.

    Edinburgh instead?

    If you are heading North, unless you happen to be spending a week close to Paisley, it doesn’t really matter whether you fly into Glasgow or Edinburgh – they are only 45 minutes apart.

  Bilbao is operating too

    Yes, after my Portland flights were cancelled yesterday, we rebooked to Bilbao for September for £160. Keeping fingers crossed that that doesn’t get canned too!

  It makes me really happy to see so many flights returning.

  What do the H4P readers think – short-haul travel is slowly returning to normal or this is all way too soon?

    It’ll be a while til things get back to ‘normal’- the risk of outbreaks and lockdowns at holiday destinations remains, just look at Barcelona.

    “ short-haul travel is slowly returning to normal”

    No. Passenger numbers are down massively YOY. Yes, they’re increasing verses the last few months but it would be a stretch to say that things are returning to normal, even slowly.

    • Colin says:

      There’s no data to suggest that people from Europe are visiting the U.K. for example

      • Andrew says:

        Oh they are.

        I spent the week with family in Perthshire last week, and there were definitely Euro tourists out there. Between domestic and overseas visitor it was taking 90 minutes to get through Callander with Poileas Alba throughout the Trossachs strictly enforcing the emergency “no parking” restrictions everywhere but in official car parks.

        Scotland (and rUK) needs to get an early grip on things though. The public lavatory situation has never been good, but right now it would put you off ever returning.

    Whilst the number of destinations has increased, the number of flights is still woefully low.

    • Colin says:

      22 Jul22 July 08:50

      Yes. That’s why there are many reports of flights being full. That’s because of a lack of supply rather than due to huge demand.

    Short haul is recovering slowly, but very slowly. Very slowly. While business traveller and long haul leisure travel is almost inexistent.

    • Callum says:

      Surely if the demand warranted more flights they would operate them? I don’t see why they’d be throwing away money/losing passengers to rival airlines at any time, let alone now!

  Pisa , around £400 ish in September. Another good use of RFS.

  Frankfurt restarting 5 weekly from early August.

  I really wish BA had kept the Scottish seasonal flights, even just until the end of Aug. Many Scots are desperate to have some sort of holiday before the schools go back in just two weeks time. Flying via London isn’t worth it when the LLC’s go direct from Scotland.
  After the early Scottish summer holidays the planes could have moved to England for the later English summer holiday trade.
  We’ve had to book with Ryanair instead and the flight already appears just about full.

    Me too, they cancelled our EDI flights to Florence.

    • Sandra B says:

      Me too. Not going till September to Palma so just decided to suck it up and go via LHR. I know it’s not the normal good use of Avios but with Companion voucher and Club Europe, £50 each was fine being that you can use the lounges. Got bumped on the return last year to Edinburgh and ended up getting home exhausted at 1am via LHR so happily pay an extra £15 in the hope it is slightly more comfortable, and my household Avios pot is a bit redundant anyway. Fingers crossed that the seasonal flights return.

  Off to Bilbao tomorrow then Corfu in a month thanks to BA sale. Unless you are vulnerable fear is insidious as is herd mentality. Staycation if you want.
