Boston Flights
American Airlines are axing their daily flights between Manchester and Boston, but from May FlyGlobespan will launch a daily service between Boston and Glasgow.
Direct flights from Boston to the UK are now available from London and Glasgow. |

I also heard a rumour that AA are axing their ORD - GLA route American Airlines are axing a tone of European flight and sending passengers via London or Paris. They are hoping that people in the UK will now fly from Glasgow or Manchester to London and then get an American Airlines flight. |

Manchester still has a very viable transatlantic market. One world (BA and AA) operate flights daily out of Manchester to JFK and ORD respectively. BMI to ORD Delta to JFK / ATL US to PHL CO to EWR Virgin to MCO AC to YYZ Pakistan also flies MAN to JFK I believe. And If I do have to change somewhere, I'd rather change at Schiphol than London. There is no need for Manchester Customers to go via LHR to get across the atlantic...... it will be AA's loss. Also didn't AA have a MIA flight out of MAN for awhile? What does perturb me is the use of 757 flying pencils to British regional airports, they're about as comfortable as sitting in a sardine tin. |

Glasgow is has great connections across the world with no need to go to London. I personally never will fly via London. If say I wanted to fly to Sydney I would fly Glasgow to Dubai and then Dubai to Sydney. From Glasgow we have direct long haul flights to Barbados, Boston, Calgary, Cancun, Cayo Coco, Chicago, Dubai, Halifax, Holguin, Islamabad, Karachi, Las Vegas, New York, Orlando International, Orlando Sanford, Ottawa, Philadelphia, Puerto Plata, Toronto, Vancouver and Varadero Most of these have connections on offer so instead of flying Glasgow-London-San Francisco I would fly Glasgow-Philadelphia-San Francisco. |
Re: Boston Flights
Also, starting next May 25th we will have FlyGlobespan operating between Liverpool & Newark, NJ.
I prefer using AA between ORD & MAN, myself. Jim. |

Are Las Vegas and Sandford schedule flights or charter? BMI offers flights to those places out of MAN but not daily. Monarch flies to Sandford too but is charter I think. |

It (Glasgow to Ottawa) was a summer only service but this year for the first time it will operate in the winter. Las Vegas and Sanford are a mix of scheduled and charter flights. FlyGlobespan operate daily to Sanford and twice a week to Las Vegas. Charter flights to Las Vegas are operated by MyTravel and charter flights to Sanford are operated by MyTravel, First Choice, Monarch, Excel Airways, Travel City Direct and ThomsonFly. |
