New weekly flights route to open between Glasgow and Guernsey Scots will be able to fly to Guernsey in just two hours, after a new flight route was announced between Glasgow and the British Crown dependency. The weekly journeys, which are being provided by the Channel Islands Travel Group, begin on Saturday, and the first flight is already fully booked. Guernsey is a popular resort for UK tourists, with its 35 miles of beaches, fresh seafood and warm weather contributing to the appeal. Gill McCarthy, director of the Channel Islands Travel Group, said: "It's a great opportunity for people in and around Glasgow to enjoy a week-long break in our beautiful island. In just two hours you can be somewhere with a continental feel with lots of top-quality restaurants and breathtaking scenery, yet where the same language is spoken, the same currency is accepted and people drive on the left-hand side of the road. With a direct, weekly service we are hoping to be able to attract holidaymakers of all ages who will be able to enjoy all that Guernsey has to offer. Flights will be carried by a 46-seat twin-turboprop plane and operate every Saturday for the next ten weeks. Prices start at £399 for return flights and seven nights' bed and breakfast accommodation.
