British Airways We have made changes to the popular route, which adds 40 minutes to flight times.
The carrier is set up to replace the Airbus A320 with a smaller ATR72 turboprop jet London Gatwick and Glasgowreportedly it will be nearly twice the travel time.
The ATR72 plane uses propellers with gas turbine engines instead of jet engines. It's also not as fast as a jet engine aircraft.
This means longer flight times and an increased risk of passengers experiencing turbulence. subway.
The same publication reports that the journey currently takes just two hours and about 40 minutes longer.
Website Heading to the point First I reported the change. Emerald Airlines said it will operate BA flights between Glasgow and London Gatwick in the summer.
Rob Burgess, who founded the site, said passengers will have the opportunity to check in their baggage as the changes will reduce the space for overhead luggage.
He added:
Burgess said that operator changes should “make BA happy” to move those who want to go to the Heathrow service or offer refunds, regardless of the class you are booked.
The typical pricing referenced by the head of points shows the economy seat from Glasgow to Gatwick, with the BA costing £264 and a 130-minute non-stop flight time.
This is compared to the same class of 70 pounds from Glasgow to London Heathrow and travel time just over 90 minutes.
In comments left on the site, one reader stated: “(i) I love these aircraft. I don't get complaints from people about them.”
Another reader posted: “There's nothing wrong with these during an hour's flight. The first world explosion.”
The third writes: “I regularly travel the AER Lingus Regional ATR72 between Dublin and Glasgow. They are modern, quiet and comfortable, but the seats are a little tight and the overhead bins are smaller.”
British Airways was approached for comment.
