Cardiff: Loganair Flights, New Routes & Schedule Updates

[Jerry]

If CWL is looking for a replacement carrier for NCL Loganair would seem the obvious airline to to approach.

Yes fingers crossed they'll replace Eastern on the route.

Loganair already operate ABZ-NCL 3x daily. So I wouldn't be surprised if Eastern are shying away from that. Hopefully Loganair can make a schedule for NCL-CWL and if prices are lower than what T3 offer then could work quite well with the bigger aircraft. They could even do ABZ-NCL-CWL and vice versa as T3 do and finish T3 off on the route completely.

Loganair's prices would be cheaper probably half the price of Eastern, even an evening flight similar to Glasgow would be nice! Fingers crossed they pick the route up.

I'm all checked in now for the inaugural flight from Cardiff to Glasgow on Thursday with Loganair! Looking forward to seeing what they are like.

Enjoy the day and we look forward to videos, pics and a trip report. Glasgow is one of our favourite cities. We've spent a lot of time there down the years and are going again in early summer.

Loganair have put flights onsale for winter 2020/21 and a quick look at CWL and it's the same as summer.

I have flown with them quite a few times on the E145. Service is always good and the crew are usually really helpful. The aircraft are a bit tired inside. Most still have BMI blue seats with tartan head rest covers added but if you can get an “A” seat it’s lovely and really gives a business feel to the flight. Enjoy!

Seating in 16A. I'm hoping to get a decent view of the engine. At least on the ground anyway!

Looking across at the pier and it looks like we'll have a piper to play us onto the aircraft!

Excellent flight with Loganair! I'll post more tomorrow when I get home!

So back now from my little trip to Glasgow with Loganair and Easyjet. Flew Loganair last night and found them very good! Really enjoyed flying on the E145, being at the back reminded me of flying KLM on the Fokker 70 a few years ago.
As it was the inaugural flight there was some preamble media stuff done before hand with a bagpiper playing lots of tunes including Bread of Heaven, Flower of Scotland and Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau and lots of photos and video taken, Nation radio also were present and were doing a feature about what Glasgow had to offer i believe. There was also cake!
It definitely was an enjoyable experience and hopefully the route will grow in the long term. I counted about 30 passengers with quite a few Scottish passengers as well. With the advertisement at Glasgow airport being quite prominent (it's straight after security in Glasgow airport) hopefully that'll encourage more Scottish tourists to use the route. At the end of the flight a gift of Gin was given out as well which was a nice touch.

Jerry what was the passenger number like for the first fight.

About 30 passengers for the outbound, inbound i'm not sure.

 

[Jerry]

Why has the Loganair route to Glasgow been cancelled every day as well?

As far as I know it hasn't been.

 

[Jerry]

Hopefully Cardiff to Edinburgh is one of the rumoured 16 routes they are looking at.
