Leaving, on a prop plane

[nmg]

Dear Expedia,

No, I will not pay you an extra £10 for booking a Flybe flight from Glasgow to Stornoway, especially if you insist on passing my details to the TSA.

In fact, your flight booking software seems to be a little kooky in general. While Stornoway is relatively remote, I find it hard to believe that the quickest flight from Stornoway to Aberdeen (a possible route considered while planning my journey) involved stopping off in Inverness, Kirkwall and Lerwick en route (5.5h). Similarly, flying from Inverness to Southampton via both Manchester and Jersey seems a little excessive (7.5h).

I'll be taking the sleeper to Glasgow and flying from there.

No love,

Me

More sensible, but the wrong end of the day; my main criterion was that I wanted to spend at most one night on Stornoway. I had been looking at those flights to get up the day before (a Thursday), but there were no flights to get me back on the same day. The Saturday flights were all over the place, which is what the wacky routes above were generated for.

And there's no way you're getting me to a) stay a Sunday on Stornoway or b) try and fly on Sunday from Stornoway.
