Poster: A snowHead
|
From Glasgow or Edinburgh to Geneva starting this winter with flyglobespan.
20kgs checked baggage allowance and skis or a board £10 per sector but should be prebooked and up to 10 kgs.
A rather odd timetable with many flights arriving in Geneva in the evening - resort transfers could be tricky.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

skanky, guess so. But if you can get to your resort in the evening, the possible advantage is an extra day skiing at the end of the holiday as the return flight is also very late. This only happens with the Glasgow flights. Edinburgh ones are mornings only. Curiouser and curiouser - a couple of the Edinburgh Friday flights go via Glasgow !! But the fares are pretty low. If you live up North, could be a useful addition to the available carriers.

kuwait_ian, Im on a flight out to Alicante in a few weeks from Glasgow that goes via Edinburgh, I guess they need to fill the flight up somehow!? And going up in the air for 10mins to get to Edinburgh does seem a bit silly but It must be viable I spose!?
I saw the Globespan flights to Geneva and the one I picked was £60 return- not bad, as I usually cant get to Heathrow for much less than that!

Nadenoodlee, maybe it just taxis down the M8?
kuwait_ian, do you get inflight service?

Inflight Service? If you mean getting scowled at by the Cabin Crew and paying £5 for a minky sarnie and a nasty coffee- then yes you do!

I think skanky was joking about the Orkney Hop. Maybe the steward does the Minute Waltz for inflight entertainment.

Nadenoodlee, kuwait_ian, I was joking about the Orkney hop. Eddie Izzard used to do a gag about short hop flight where the pilot turned round and offered biscuits around as the inflight service. I'm not sure there's even be time for that on this flight. The inflight film would be about 2/3 of an episode of Bod.

kuwait_ian, a minute? Ample time to sink a couple of Highland Park single malts....

This is a Glasgow to Edinburgh flight PG, it'll be full of buckfast drinking neds! ( and then me at the back keeping my english mouth shut) Inflight entertainment will be the argument and subsequent grounding of the flight after a (I guarantee you) breach of the no smoking ban

Easyjet are doing Newcastle to Geneva now as well.
Again, it's a late evening return so a full day's skiing on the way home. I got returns at the end of January for 42 quid per person and they take skis for free.
