Ooo, I'm thinking that EAS should sneak in under the short RFS limit shouldn't it? And as a new route there'll be plenty of RFS availability hopefully - time to jump on a cheap weekend in the sun!

But certainly a bank holiday weekend, perhaps flying into BIO and out of EAS or vice versa...

There have been weekend Cityflyer flights from Glasgow to Palma for years, but operated as a Barrhead charter rather than sold through BA. Are these new, additional, services or is it a swap of a Barrhead charter into a 'real' Cityflyer service.

Just noticed when pricing up a trip to EAS that the BA website says I will earn 0 Avios for the booking.
The tickets are I class. Any suggestions whether this is BA IT or is there something odd about this route?

They must have data to support. Remember the mainline LGW crew scheduled attempt to ? PMI a few years back. The so called 'use it or lose it' would apply- lets hope they do. Ideally would have been better twice weekly.

I would certainly recommend Donostia - San Sebastián (to use the new official name) as a weekend visit, it has good Basque food options, some excellent independent hotels, a good range of shops and one of the most impressive in in-town beaches.
The airport is a little way out of town, it's actually on the border at Irún, on reclaimed land at the docks. Any further over and in would be a French airport. It will be an interesting landing/departure experience, given the LCY landing at the other end. It's conected to D-SS by public bus, and there is a regular coach service to and from BIO airport too. EAS has services to MAD.
