The flight back

The flight back
We arrived early at check-in. Too early - there was no-one there:


However, there is a great cafe - one of the best places to eat on the island!


The branding was all over the place, reflecting the 3 brands marketing the service over the last 10 years – British Airways:


Flybe:


Loganair:


The tractor was out preparing the runway for the arriving flight:


So we had to put our kites away ☹:


The flight arrived on time:




…and before we knew it we were boarding and off:








Leg room was fine on board for the short flight, and it was interesting to see an offer with Scotrail to transfer anywhere in Scotland for £20




We arrived back in Glasgow and quickly disembarked:


... and retreated to the Glenlivet Bar and Snug in the BA lounge before catching the flight back to London



Overall a great experience, and I would recommend spending a few days on the island rather than doing a back to back. It looks like Loganair are offering so cheaper fares than Flybe were, with singles from under £40 – get them while you can!
