The promotion applies only to Loganair-operated flights booked via loganair.co.uk or the Loganair app during the promotional period.
-
Group bookings, interline and codeshare flights, and Orkney Inter-Isle services are excluded.

Avios will be credited automatically after travel – the offer cannot be applied retroactively.
This promotion comes during a year of expansion for Loganair, including a new operational base at Southampton Airport to strengthen connectivity across the UK.

Gatwick Baggage Screener Strikes Suspended
Planned strike action by baggage screeners at London Gatwick Airport has been suspended after workers received an improved pay offer from their employer, ICTS.
The walkout, that we covered just yesterday, which had been scheduled to run from 22–26 August, will no longer go ahead while members of the Unite union are balloted on the proposal over the coming days.
The dispute involves some of Gatwick’s lowest-paid airport workers, who are employed by ICTS to screen baggage before it is loaded onto aircraft. Unite had previously warned that the strikes could cause “severe delays” to flights over the busy bank holiday weekend.
While this first strike period has been paused, a second round of industrial action from 29 August to 2 September is still planned if the new pay offer is rejected.
Gatwick Airport has maintained that it expects to run a normal summer schedule, saying it is “working with our suppliers to avoid any impacts” and hopes the dispute can be resolved before further strike dates.
If you are due to travel over the late August and early September strike periods, keep an eye on further updates, particularly the outcome of the union ballot, which will determine whether the second strike goes ahead.
