Flight schedules not easy to find

We moved to the north east of England a few months ago from the south coast, so Manchester is now a viable point for VS long haul flights.

But it looks like MAN has lots of flights that are not daily, and it seems you need to check every possible day to find out what options we have.

Why doesn't vVS publish a single PDF with their schedules? I have found a cargo version but that seems to be the current schedule only...

I always like to plan our holidays a long way out, especially as we try to use our miles. Next May we are looking to do a "big one" flying to Boston for a few days, then down to Miami for two weeks, then Honolulu for a week and then home. We have over 500,000 miles available, and the ideal scenario would be UC to Boston, then the Delta flights, then UC from LAX back home.

I guess I need to call FC to see what the options might be. It will be a long call! I guess LHR will be better for the lounges....

I’ve noticed that as well. I often try and find the dates the Glasgow Orlando flight is operating and normally give up after half an hour and end up tweeting them, but your correct, a pdf schedule would be really handy, especially with all the seasonal flights that seem to be appearing.

Even the cargo one is not particularly pleasant to use IMO.

I also felt the need for a schedule/timetable but it seems these do not exist as they used to.

However, I recently came across this site which seems useful:-
https://www.flightsfrom.com/GLA/destination

It redirects to Skyscanner if you follow it through, but does initially show all flights on a daily basis.

Sorry, that link gives a 404 error - you can actually go from there to the homepage but try this:
