Bishop Briggs Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Just Read that FlyBE are now doing Aberdeen - Newquay starting in May. Wouldn't imagine there's much demand for that Depends on the weather. Cornwall has a lot to offer if it's hot and sunny. Padstow is only a few miles away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionel hutz Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Dundee - Amsterdam started on Monday. Dundee Cake was given to our Dutch visitors apparently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerrdavidson95 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Delta starting daily flights to New York from Edinburgh. 75E to 8 June then on to 76W for the summer, reverting back to 75E in September. Delta competing with United and American on the route - hopefully each will drive cheaper prices and will bring more Yanks to buy whisky and play golf. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice one. Croatia is a possibility for next summer. Serbia is another option. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moo Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Flybe cancel Dundee to Amsterdam service from January:https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/business/335176/exclusive-flybe-grounds-dundee-amsterdam-link-shock-move/ The way I looked at this service when it was first announced is that it wouldn't work as I thought it would have to generate interest from both sides. Clearly it's been a very popular from a Scottish perspective but I couldn't see many of the Dutch wanting to fly to Dundee considering we have Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen up the road. Shame. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweeperDee Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Flybe coming up with the cock and bull excuse that the airport doesn't have appropriate radar coverage...why even consider the route in the first place then?

Probably easier saying that than "Dundee is a shitehole and there was zero demand for anyone to visit it". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I don't mind Dundee, seems an okay place but it's clear that's why they've pulled the flight route rather than some excuse about radar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bishop Briggs Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Flybe will be starting flights from Edinburgh and Aberdeen to/from Heathrow from 26th March 2017. Fares will start at around £40 each way. A lot cheaper than rip-off BA! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To get that price with Flybe you'll have to book well in advance and pick the right day, same with BA. I see BA flights in peak season (July) from Glasgow to Heathrow are mostly £40. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were such higher last July, over £150 each way and much higher on peak flights. I have got some cheap flights with Flybe and Easyjet (into Gatwick) when booking only two or three weeks in advance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get cheap deals late on if the plane's half empty, but don't think Flybe will be like Easyjet or Ryanair, they're not. If they're competing on a route with BA it's good news though, both will drop their fares unless they come to a sneaky agreement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Assuming we can use this to roll on into 2018... United are starting a direct Edinburgh-Washington (Dulles) from May next year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Capital Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Not international but there's been talk of a new airline that's being set-up called Thistle Airways bringing back the Inverness to Edinburgh and Glasgow flights. Would be pretty pointless IMO unless it was pennies for a ticket. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
