Okay, this one might only be for true aviation enthusiasts like myself :)
Today I take a return flight from Edinburgh to Glasgow. Why? Because it's there.
At 48 miles, this flight on it's own of course would make nae sense commercially or environmentally, but the truth is, merging the EDI/GLA flight to Southampton allows Loganair to remove a complete route between Scotland and the south coast of England, so I don't feel so bad to be hopping onboard. Question is - how long will it take? Well, watch on to find out! Spoiler Alert: The return flight is the quicker!
LM327 Edinburgh to Glasgow 16 May 2021
LM328 Glasgow to Edinburgh 16 May 2021
Loganair Embraer 145, reg G-SAJC
Cruise at 5500ft, airspeed approx 244kts
Ticket cost £45 each way (but I had some credit with Loganair, so it didn't shock me too much)

Wouldn't have thought of that one. My shortest flight was from Prestwick to Belfast City with Ryanair when they were doing their 1p offer. 10 mins in the air took off into the wind and landed the same way so no circling to the runway. Back also for 1p so a day in Belfast for 2p.Did the same to Dubiln also for 2p

Years ago, returning from Copenhagen to Glasgow the flight made a scheduled stop in Edinburgh so I got to make this same hop. I’m sure that flight was in some variant of the 737. Strangely, the outbound flight the same morning was direct. As for the extra legroom an exit seat gives, be careful what you wish for. Two colleagues thought they had lucked out on a trans-Atlantic flight when they got the extra legroom at the exit. But when a fellow passenger died on the flight the body - in a bodybag thankfully - was deposited at their feet as this was the only space available on the aircraft.

Done that trip oh so many times on MS Flight Sim on various aircraft over the years, infact its a trip on MSFSX (training) as the conversion to jets. An old friend of mine is the Embraer Training Captain for Loganair Frank Browne , I was his first ever passenger on a Aberdeen Aero Club Cessna 152 back in the early 80s but that's another story.

That was fun! Surely the whole annoying experience of flying - having to get to the airport which is usually miles from the city, needing to get there a long way ahead of flight time for the security checks, random delays, taxiing before and after takeoffs and landings - adds considerably to the time if comparing it to another way to travel. I doubt it’s used often. But the views are great!

Flew this flight on a number of occasions back in the early 90s. Air UK used to operate the GLA-STN and EDI-STN flights with a BAe146. The middle of the day flights were combined so a trip to or from Stansted would mean we'd get a flight from/to EDI thrown in. I'm sure I timed a GLA-EDI trip at seven minutes once. I think I also did EDI-GLA with Flybe once when they cancelled a SOU-EDI flight and put the passengers on our SOU-GLA service. Flybe were notorious for that sort of thing but hell, I miss them!

Yeah, miss them too - some great routes they flew. And AirUK - there's a blast from the past! I need to get researching and find more of these wee beauties of routes! Seven minutes - wow, I'm jealous you beat me!

I used to fly from Aberdeen to East Midlands via Edinburgh, it took only 20 mins to Edinburgh

I once flew from Bristol to Glasgow, and the flight called into Edinburgh first.

We are heading up to Orkney in October but it looks like the timings on the flight from Papa Westray to Westray or vice versa will make it difficult to film if getting a ferry from Kirkwall. Darn. Nice film of an unusual journey.

Did this flight a few years ago and I think from the pilot turning on the engines to turning then was under 6 minutes. It was a great flight

Great concept Steve. Loved the episode. I do love landing south at both those airports when conditions allowed. Thanks for bringing back many fine memories from layover time in those two amazing cities.
