In the interest of accuracy Ryanair’s Scottish base is, in fact, at Prestwick on the beautiful Ayrshire coast.

Unless they’ve moved it, it’s 30-odd miles from Glasgow. 🙂

Also in the interest of accuracy, Glasgow Abbotsinch is
in Paisley, Renfrewshire. 😀 :rolleyes:

[QUOTE=tommyinyork]Companies like Airtours and Thomsons have become a ripp off in the past couple of months and no longer do the excellent deals they once did.

Some folk who have booked last minute with High Street
Tour Operator’s airlines have secured excellent discounts.

I doubt these panic fares can be sustained though and
High Street flight programmes will be seriously curtailed
in the next few years.

The High Street could of course fight back by basing aircraft at airports they have neglected in the pass.

I haven’t looked in detail at the overall figures for the first half, it appears that GSM may have as he’s stated that international traffic has not fallen…and the reduction overall is a result of domestic traffic. This automatically dispels Silver Snapper’s points.!

I would not quote GSM as an authority… there is a question mark over a lookalike in alt.airports.uk.glasgow presently. http://link.toolbot.com/google.co.uk/22430

As for travel agents, one only has to look at their window displays in Scotland and also on ITV teletext to see where
upwards of 90% of available flights are departing from.
Thanks for your unbiased input here rdc1000, very refreshing. 🙂
