Flew from GLA to APG on Tuesday 15th June with Fly Globespan.Cost £140 return – booked 3 days before. Check in a little slow, as a large queue had formed despite it being 2 3/4 hrs before departure. Airbridge boarding through front exit. Boarded from rear seats first. Requirement to show your boarding card again to the Cabin crew at the door, which caused some hold up. I was in row 11 which was the row just in front of the emergency exit row, so had no recline. I dont think they should have recline with this seat pitch anyway. Departed on time at 0600.
Ex Deutsche BA 737-300 – 7 years old ,now G-GSPN. Fully refurbished cabin.
Smart navy leather seats with red head rest covers. 30″ leg room pretty standard. Aircraft tidy and clean. Cabin crew all Scottish, friendly and professional. Sprightly take-off despite being full. No standard meal service, but Lo-co style snack service, with sandwiches Pringles etc. Two runs of the trolley through the 2 hrs 45 min flight. Kept well informed by the pilot pointing out land marks – Severn Bridge, Torquay etc.Smooth flight with not even any turbulence nearing Malaga over the mountainous areas in the heat. Arrived on time, smooth landing despite wind. Surprisingly, Air bridge disembarking. Luggage quickly through.
Excellent flight all in all. Would highly recommend. 🙂

And Globespan is a long standing Scottish tour operator who decided to form it’s own “airline” to meet the pecularities and demands of it’s own market place. Channel Express were tasked with the “hardware” aspects of this new airline, Fly Globespan.

FLS Aerospace at Dublin do some of Channel Express 737-300 maintainance.
And no, I still don’t really understand the whole Fly Globespan/ Channel Express / Jet 2/ icelandic link up.
Islandsflug(Iceland) lease aircraft to Channex who then operate them for Flyglobespan as passenger ops but also as cargo ops from EDI as the EDI based 733s are convertable freighters.

That’s correct, and I don’t know why they would be DUB.
I know they do cargo flights from EDI but I think that’s just STN, EMA and maybe BFS.
Maintainance maybe?

No, they don’t fly to DUB. The only Irish route they fly is BFS-PMI.

By: RIPConcorde - 22nd June 2004 at 16:17
Ok.I am here to apoligise.I get quite over excited sometimes but at the moment Im in the middle of some very stressful exams.Im not blaming them on it but at the moment its a contributing factor.Im only young (17) and I still have a huge amount to learn.I have privatly talked to BY738 apoliginsing to him and I hope everybody else excepts my apoligy.Im not here to make enemies even though some might think I am.Im here to discuss aviation like the rest of you.

Im not going to regret anything.I posted my opinion and if they kick me off for that I dont care.If one of my theads were utter crap Id be expected to be told.
By: Bmused55 - 22nd June 2004 at 09:49
I only stated that I perfer a little more detail in my reports.In my opinion I would give that trip report many marks.Thats my opinion and thats that.As for you Bmused55 i called somebody a name a few weeks ago and I was slaughered for it.I apoligised I dont expect or even want an apolgy but I have my opinions and nothing can change that.If I went around saying that every Easyjet fan was a gimp Id be roasted.As for me being a pain in the arse you can shove this trip report up your arse as well as everybody else.I disliked the report what do you want me to do say it was great.Have you read my report.If not do so and tell me what its like honestly.Id love if youd tell me its was utter s h i t e like yourself.
Clearing stating
it was terible
is simply bad form!
Its not BY’s fault that you want to know what went on from getting out of bed to getting into bed at the destination.
The report is sound. It mentions the activities of the trip, nothing more. Therefore it is not terrible!
As for the name calling… well you deserve it right now! Gimp. (as you say, I’m expressing a view)
