It includes the BA Dreamliner fly in.
(For the people who are worried they might miss Parking Wars, that is on later the same channel.)

Good wee heads up. Thanks!
But ugh @ the Preview: Those American Airlines managers, and their pronunciation of Edinburgh. Next time I go to Pittsburgh, I'll call it Pittsbouro and see how they like it (even though they pronounce it wrong in the first place).

And on 862 on Virgin TiVo south of the border (sadly I don't see an HD option for BBC One Scotland here in England).
+1 on the tip-off thanks.

On iPlayer now for you English, Welsh and Northern Irish folk http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode...port-episode-1
I enjoyed it (and I'm sure I've seen the terminal duty manager kicking around a few times).

I struggled through the first 8 minutes then pulled the plug. I thought the content and production was just terrible, almost comically bad with the inappropriate and ever present Bourne Identity soundtrack.

Yes, they were struggling to make it more interesting than it actually was. It did have the hallmark of a regional television production on a shoestring. Gosh some people really had to wait an hour at check-in. And the baggage belt is a bit iffy. The autistic lad was the only interesting bit, I thought that did give an illustration as to how difficult life can be for some passengers, if only his mum had gone on to Flyertalk! But on the whole this should have been edited down from 1 hour down to 30 minutes.
