No complaints at all. Did everything they said they would, on time and cheaply. The walk at PMI from gate to baggage took an age. However there was one advantage - the bags got there first. [Imagine that EDI!]. The German captain was especially enthusiastic on the return flight. He told us lots of technical info throughout the trip and I even think he dipped the left wing to give us a better view of the Spanish coast as we flew past. He also got excited on our behalf when he announced that a cargo plane on the tarmac was an Antonov 124 [1] which is not a usual visitor to PMI. Did he think we were all spotters [2] ? [1] Blimpie has probably seen three at once somewhere else [2] RA 82080 :-) -- Adrian Back to top BLIMPS Guest Posted: Tue Jul 13, 2004 9:42 pm    Post subject: Re: EDI-PMI "Adrian Tupper" <adrian.tupper (AT) totalise (DOT) co.uk> wrote Quote: Just back from PMI on the flyglobespan service.

Doesn't really matter, the Baggage Hall is chokka at GLA these days and you would have a bit of a wait anyway, and a new one should be built asap which would be dubbed "BR2."
