hearthammer Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 (edited) Flybe have announced they'll be re-starting their Edinburgh to Belfast route from June before similar to Birmingham in July. Apparently offering discounts and offers for early bookers if either of these destinations is what anyone's looking for. ETA I now see they are also restarting a number of routes from Glasgow, Aberdeen & Inverness as well. The story i saw only related to Edinburgh.

Looks like they're looking to cut in big time to the businesses of Loganair, Ryanair & Easyjet. If that means lower fares for the punters, then it can only be a good thing.

AlwaysAPar Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Not sure if this is the right thread for this but most airlines have now relaxed mask mandates: All flights between England, Northern Ireland, Jersey, Isle of Man, Denmark, Finland, Czech Republic, Croatia, Bulgaria, Scotland, Slovenia, Sweden, Gibraltar, Switzerland, Hungary, Iceland and Poland: it's no longer a legal requirement to wear a mask if you're flying between any of these destinations. It may be helpful to have a mask with you, but wearing a mask is optional and your choice will be respected EasyJet yesterday also implemented copying Ryanair’s awful policy of downsizing the carry-on luggage allowed. This means you now need to pay for additional carry-on baggage if you want to take a rucksack with you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlwaysAPar Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Thanks I hadn’t seen that. I’m flying with easyJet tonight and had assumed this would be the same for all airlines. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/lifestyle/travel/tui-easyjet-ryanair-jet2-ba-26824282.amp This article suggests most airlines no longer require masks (unless it’s law in the country travelling to/from) except Ryanair KLM Emirates Air France 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlikely unless it's just a weekend trip though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 easyJet changed their carry on rules at least a year ago. Rubbish, but I guess the covid losses have to be recouped somehow... The amount they now charge for a case has been bumped up a lot as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They made the carry-on allowance even smaller than before as of yesterday. For the past year you could get away with most rucksacks included in the basic fare. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the front of the queue before boarding last night they had 2 slots. One that fits the new basic size (45cm x 36cm x 20cm) and the other for the “large cabin bag” which you can pay to bring (56cm x 45cm x 25cm). It says on your boarding pass if you’ve paid to upgrade so I’m guessing larger rucksacks etc. will be checked if you haven’t paid for the larger size. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was booked to go on a holiday to Montenegro with them in May 2021 (canned due to covid) and the policy changed after I had booked. I was emailed and informed that I could only take a 45 x 36 x 20 bag on board, rather than the 56 x 45 x 25 I was allowed when booking. Maybe they just started enforcing it properly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 The charges don't bother me. If I'm just away for a couple of days I'll just pack a change of underwear, shirt and toilet stuff and pay a ridiculously cheap fare, much longer and I'll pay the extra for the bigger bag, booked seat and fast track, and pay a normal fare. If you don't know the score in advance it would be annoying though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Don't know about new routes but I have just been charged 6.99 for a pint of IPA at Prestwick airport. Add a glass of house white and I was FIFTEEN fukin quid. Even by airport standards that is outrageous (especially given we will get both for about a fiver in 6 hours time in Gran Canaria) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this because I had booked Easyjet flights from Paisley to Luton in December 2020 for the England v Scotland game in June 2021. They emailed me soon after booking to inform me of the change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they offered me a free or discounted upgrade because I'd already booked too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 (edited) A pint of ale in the Edinburgh Airport Wetherspoons was £4.50; which is on par with city centre prices (and somehow cheaper than a pint of Guinness in total old man, bin pub - Dickens). Really not seeing the grounds for complaint tbh. Edited May 17, 2022 by vikingTON 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
