Ryanair had to set up a UK subsidiary to operate intra-UK flights after Brexit. Of course, it doesn't mean it has to keep serving domestic routes now it's done this, but they obviously think they can make a go of it.

Manchester was served but not for long. Surprised Wizz air are still there. Aberdeen to Gdansk is quite handy for linking to out of the way places like Georgia for example, and worth a visit in its own right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue-Toon Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 TUI is axing its summer flights to Tenerife from Aberdeen Airport for summer 2024 and flights to Rhodes will be scrapped completely. Poor show from TUI with no Aberdeen to Tenerife fights from May to September next year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekhibee88 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Ryanair is a good option to the South Coast from Edinburgh to Bournemouth. One thing is there is no public transport to Bournemouth airport at the weekend. Loganair prices to and from Southampton are very dear. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Alli Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 LoganAir prices and service all in are poor. I use them regularly through work and they think because you get shortbread and half a cup of water free makes up for the poor service. it doesn't. The caramel wafers, somewhat do though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick question, as you seem knowledgeable, how much of pre-WW2 Danzig survived WW2 and the Russians? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like most Central European cities they've done a great job of resurrecting the town centre in pretty much the original style, referred to as in most places as 'the old town', so it's hard to tell as a tourist what survived WW2 and what's rebuilt from scratch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what I figured. My grandmother lived in a small courtyard building that over looked the harbour, and woke in 1939 to the German battleship Schleswig-Holstein firing on the Westerplatt. Always wondered if any of that building survived. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't notice any old looking buildings around the docks, I think it was probably all flattened, the centre of town is a few miles away by the river. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiGi Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Just not ever on the dates I travel then. Been twice in the last year and going again shortly and neither Glasgow or Edinburgh have had direct flights. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxRover Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 (edited) Anyone know if the Air France flights to/from Edinburgh use the same “terminal” as the Air France international flights? Can’t find any reassurance, it looks like a terminal change from one letter to another, which suggests French Passport control between flights…unless there’s a trick.

Derry Alli Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Just had a quick peek at Pula and unless I'm missing something there's no direct flights to Pula. They're showing as 15hrs on average? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
