During the week it's 50/50 business & lesure/ Scottish & French [with
some other nationalities thrown in]? I use this flight two or three
times monthly, sometimes I connect onwards or even use TGV or Thalys
ffrom CDG...Mostly for Brussels or Lyon [GLA not having a BRU service
is a joke] In my experience of flying/travelling..If the service is
there people will use it and in the case of Lo-Co people will make an
excuse to use it. I was a regular on the AB flights to DUS [all be it
via STN] It was marketed as DUS - GLA or TGL - GLA or STU - GLA etc,
etc, etc..and the take up by German business & tourist traffic was
excellent [good with Scotish also, but German higher maybe 70 - 30%]?
Now a lot of these people used that service because it was there to
use at a good cost price. Now it's gone,,the people are still there.
It's just they go somewhere else now...because they can & Glasgow is
off the map.
