They are nearly six years have passed since Global Airlines was officially founded, on July 13, 2019. The pandemic had yet to arrive, and it was certainly one of the factors that handed the British company the record time between founding and starting flights.
In this article:
Now, it seems, the wait should be over. Because, hear, hear, Since the morning of yesterday, March 24, Global has opened sales for four of its flights across the Atlantic that will be operated with the first of four Airbus A380s the company plans to operate in an initial phase.
However, the sale was Opened as a 'vip pre-sale', a pre-sale dedicated to 'VIPs' (who are then those who registered on the carrier's website and received the alert yesterday morning). The site on which to make this pre-booking is not globalairlines.com, but ga.flights.
There you can leave your first name, last name, phone number, email address, indicate the flight and date you intend to travel and the class of service you intend to reserve: Economy (called Global Traveller), Business or First. Stop.
You will not be able to precede any further, because, the company explains, you will be contacted by e-mail shortly to actually make the ticket.
The abstruse procedure gives a kind of pre-emption to the purchase of four 'inaugural' flights. The first will be carried out between Glasgow and New York Kennedy on May 15. next, taking off at 11 a.m. and arriving in the Big Apple at 1 p.m.
The second will leave Kennedy four days later, on May 19 at 8 a.m., returning to Glasgow at 7:15 p.m. The third and fourth flights will operate between Manchester and Kennedy on May 21 and 25, with the outbound flight leaving at 12:25 p.m. and landing in the States at 2:25 p.m. and the return flight taking off from JFK at 8:55 a.m. to be in Manchester at 8:55 p.m. (are all daytime flights, including those in the west-east direction).
There is, at least for the time being, no London. Neither Heathrow, nor Gatwick, nor Stansted, as one might expect from a British airline that promises high standards of service, as well as three travel classes including a First cabin.
The flights will be operated by a Airbus A380 operated by the Maltese company specializing in HiFly wet leasing with HiFly cabin crew and pilots. It is a Superjumbo former China Southern Airlines Who received Global's full livery just a week ago.
Also the internal configuration, according to the specialized website planespotters.net, should be the one inherited from the Chinese carrier, with 8 suites of First Class, followed by Three Economy cabins on the main deck and 70 Business seats divided into two cabins and followed by a small Economy cabin on the upper deck.
As they say, but perhaps more so in this case than in others, stay tuned ('stay tuned') for more information about Economy, Business and First fares and about operations beyond the 'inaugural' one in the second half of May.
