Flights to London
Flyglobespan didn't start flights to London Stansted as long ago as May 2004 did it? Kennethmac2000
 * No, it didn't! Typo, should be May 2005.--Ayrshire--77 4 July 2005 07:58 (UTC)
 * Correcting the typo has spoilt the chronological flow of this article though. It discusses May 2005 and then appears to jump back to March 2005. Kennethmac2000 4 July 2005 14:23 (UTC)
 * Sorted. Just swapped the paragraphs around a little and now should be in the order of March 05, May 05 and future.   --Ayrshire--77 4 July 2005 17:25 (UTC)

Reliability
User: Stardub (who doesn't understand the comment signing syntax) - Is it forbidden to insert customer reports? It's amazing how bad the recent reports for this airline are. Doesn't it qualify for a general issue for this airline? I remember with Air Madrid on Wikipedia it was allowed to report about the rapid descending quality once the airline headed into trouble with delays >24 hours. It is the same with Flyglobespan right now if you verify with airlinequality dott com (and i'm tired of these output errors i'm getting from wikipedia)

Flights to South Arica (Cape Town)
(27 Sept. 2007) Relatives, who live in the UK and had booked to fly with Globespan for a holiday in February 2008, have been informed that Globespan have ceased flights to SA due to "Uncooperation from SA government" and have been refunded for their booking. —Preceding unsigned comment added by RacingRog (talk • contribs) 05:26, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Negative Reading
I feel that this article reads in a negative way. Tjnewell


 * If you feel anything is factually wrong then please be WP:BOLD and change it. If you have any particular points then please detail them on this page and they can be discussed. Please sign your posts with four tildes. MilborneOne (talk) 19:28, 18 December 2007 (UTC)


 * If you really want to see negative, go visit www.airlinequality.com and read some of Flyglobepan's reviews!--209.202.70.226 (talk) 20:05, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

"Scottish" airline
Noting the attempt to change "Scottish" to "British" ... Yes, Scotland is part of the UK, but in general reference (e.g., media), "Scottish" is commonly used when appropriate. NOTE: The airline's own press releases refers to it as a "Scottish" airline. Proofreader77 (talk) 21:29, 19 January 2009 (UTC)


 * The first line normally uses the country the airline is licenced in which is the United Kingdom as Scotland does not have a Civil Aviation Authority of its own. You could argue that it is a Scottish company but in fact its registered office is 72 New Cavendish Street, London, England so it is actually an English company. So it is not a Scottish airline or a Scottish company but is it an airline operating from Scotland. So in this instance British is probably the best way to go although as it is accurate but I would suggest perhaps it should be Flyglobespan is a British low-cost airline based in Edinburgh, Scotland. MilborneOne (talk) 22:19, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Just to add that the Flyglobespan group, which is a tour operator and the bit that sells the holidays (and owns the airline) is a Scottish company but this is an article about the airline not the group. MilborneOne (talk) 23:03, 19 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Many thanks for your attention to this issue. NOTE: Due to the "complexities" of UK discourse which I am only beginning to understand -- I have replaced Scottish with UK (rather than British) ... Feel free to discuss UK as adjective. :) Proofreader77 (talk) 23:56, 19 January 2009 (UTC)


 * P.S., No, I see UK is duplicated in the next sentence. I'll go ahead and make it British (although I don't think that is completely unproblematic, given all the givens) Proofreader77 (talk)


 * P.P.S., :) I see the RussBot just came by and disambiguated "British" to a pipe of United Kingdom lol Proofreader77 (talk) 23:08, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Credit card insurance
No explanation or reference is given for the company not being able to find insurers for their credit card payments. As this seems to be the key to them trading with EClear can anyone provide more information? 92.102.161.77 (talk) 17:33, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
