    Cheers Airbusbaby,

    I saved £22 and got extra legroom, 35″.

    I’ve never flew in a 757 across the pond, only 747-400 and A330-200.

    I use Canadian Affair quite often. Their fares start around £55 each way plus tax, so pretty cheap!

    You’ll get a trip on the TCX 757 with 35″ seat pitch too from GLA.

    I went onto the TCX site, but they kept offering me a flight on Air Canada, Air France, KLM and AA. I could not find any flights on the TCX 757.

    RenFrew, If I went in the Tomahawk I’d be 83 before I got there :p

    In other news, Airbus make moves to quell fears over A380 passenger ground transportation needs from remote stands.

    Hahahahahaha. I’ve not seen one of those buses in a while.

    Do you have models of the Loganair fleet? If so any chance of posting pics of them.

    Cheers

    I have just looked at the price to fly from PIK – LDY, it’s £99 return inc taxes.

    If I were to go with LC, GLA – LDY, it would cost me £163 return inc taxes. I have had it cheaper with LC though – £79 return inc taxes.

    I never knew LC did not fly to LDY at the weekend, is this a winter timetable?

    If you are good, you could probably do it in an hour. However, most people want to get out of you as much money as possible, so they will tell you five and charge you five.

    Cynical? Moi?

    The last instructor would. Not this one, he’s decent!

    Probably going to ACE – most charters go there on a Thursday.
    Off of Runway 05, Jets climb on the GOW054 Radial to 4.9DME ( this point has a weird name), before turning left towards ELBAN. Passing the TRN013 Radial, they turn back south torwards New Galloway or Turnberry. Occassionally Inbound traffic/EDI outbounds permitting aircraft will get a right turn at 4.9DME.
    If you want you can get the charts at http://www.ais.org.uk – you will need to register but registration is free.

    Thanks,

    I could not see that far, but I suppose they have turned south to Turnberry.

    just had a look at the AIP for Glasgow, 3 possible SIDs could fit that description.

    ROBBO, CLYDE, or possibly TURNBERRY (via elban, ie left turn after initial climb)

    can’t say anymore than that

    Ken

    Any idea where the A/C was going? Normally they would turn south. Semms a bit strange to have a trans-altlantic flight departing at that time.

    Cheers MH,

    Any idea how long it’ll take to convert?

    Circuits (with and without passengers), Straight & Level and W&B. Can anyone think of anything else?
