New summer flights being launched across the UK next year – and it will save you hours
NEW summer flights will be launched across the UK next year – prepare for hours to be knocked off your journey.
Flights to and from these destinations previously took around nine hours, with at least one stopover, and cost hundreds and hundreds of pounds.
But now, Brits will be able to fly from opposite ends of the country with the leading UK airline, Longair.
Longair will connect Glasgow Airport (GLA/EGPF) to Airport Newquay (NQY/EGHQ) as part of its summer 2025 schedule.
The schedule is meant to support those in Scotland and the UK with cheaper, direct services to top business and tourist destinations.
Previously, flights from Glasgow to Newquay included at least one stopover.
On average, they took around nine hours and cost hundreds and hundreds of pounds.
Alternatively, driving takes around nine hours.
However, the starting price of the direct Longair flights will be £89.99.
This includes in-hold and cabin baggage, plus taxes.
The airline has said passengers will need to book now to secure seats for flights across May to September.
Luke Lovegrove, Chief Commercial Officer at Loganair said: “We are really pleased to be adding the Glasgow to Newquay service to our network of regional UK routes and we’re sure it will prove a popular choice in summer 2025.
“We will continue to work closely with the teams at both airports to maximise the potential of this route in line with our continued commitment to UK regional connectivity.”
Chris Tibbett, Aero Director at AGS Airports added: “We are thrilled to see Glasgow’s home airline, Loganair, expanding its network with the reinstatement of the popular Glasgow to Newquay route.
“Thousands of passengers travel between Glasgow and Cornwall each summer, and this key leisure service provides an excellent opportunity for those in Western Scotland to explore one of the UK’s most beautiful holiday destinations.
“With the addition of Newquay, Glasgow will be connected to nine destinations in England next summer.
“This news highlights our continued commitment to offering passengers a wide range of direct services across the UK.”
