  Re. Loganair LHR-IOM. This is bookable on BA under a BA flight number, although BA avios says “this route does not exist” (I’m guessing due to their collaboration agreement). But how about lounge access at LHR? (if and when, of course!)

  Strangely LoganAir show the ABZ-INV flights on the website schedule but not on their booking engine.

  “Anyone keen to avoid the M8” can just take the train which takes 45 minutes. Unless you actually have a connecting flight, not really a point to fly.

    You get 800 Clan Points for around £55, or £50 from INV to ABZ!

    And makes even more of a mockery of the fact the train runs past the airport, but instead of building a train station we got a £1bn tram.

  I’ve flown EDI-GLA once before, I think as part of a triangular route from CPH. Someone accidentally got off too early so they had to get everyone down to the tarmac to identify their hold bags – I’d imagine this is a large part of the reason triangular routes aren’t really a thing anymore.

  I’ve done EDI to GLA as well – second aborted landing at EDI and off we go to the land that soap forgot…

  I also did the short hop between Edinburgh and Glasgow many years ago. One of the most turbulent flights I’ve been on. Apparently the short distance means the plane can’t reach a cruising altitude so it is impacted more by any wind.

  When I was at drama school in the late 70s in Edinburgh me and my flatmate took the edi to gla one day as a lark. It was cheap and a hoot. She paid more than me as she was over 25 I think. It was fun watching the landscape from a prop plane not really achieving much altitude.
  From those humble beginnings to flying A380 with Air France to most recent days in BA First on 747s and in pilot seat for a farewell to the Queen Of The Skies.

  Ah memories.

  and after your 15 minute flight into Glasgow, it’ll take (at least) 30 minutes to get into the city from the airport… via the M8.

  Unless, of course, you go via the train… in which case I’ll see you in an hour or two.

    Not everyone wants to go to the city centre

    • Lumma says:

      Not many people will need to be at the airport both ends too

      • John says:

        Sure, but then it’s a matter of whether airport to city is more convenient at one end than city to airport at the other
