Check before you book

  • Verify Loganair baggage allowance since their inclusion policy differs from budget carriers.
  • Check if your preferred departure date falls within the months showing published fares rather than assuming year-round availability.
  • Review Glenegedale arrival procedures as smaller airfields operate differently than major hubs.
