Loganair marks 7.5 million passenger milestone with free premium fare upgrades and baggage boost

Loganair, the UK’s leading regional airline, is giving travellers a lift this summer – quite literally – with a free upgrade to its premium Fly Flex fare, offering over seven and a half tonnes of complimentary baggage allowance across its network in a one-week-only promotion.

Between 2 - 9 July 2025, customers booking eligible Loganair-operated flights for travel from 1 August 2025 onwards will automatically receive a free upgrade to the airline’s enhanced Fly Flex fare.

This complimentary, upgrade unlocks a range of benefits at no additional cost, including an increased hold luggage allowance from 15kg to 23kg, plus a 6kg cabin bag and a handbag, giving passengers up to 29kg of total baggage.

In addition, travellers will enjoy free standard seat selection on Loganair-operated flights, the ability to make same-day travel changes without incurring change fees (although fare differences may still apply), and a boost in their Avios – collecting 650 Avios per flight, up from the standard 410.

Luke Lovegrove, Chief Commercial Officer at Loganair, said: “At Loganair, we understand the value of flexibility and comfort when flying – and we’re excited to launch this popular promotion again this year.
“By giving our customers a free upgrade, we’re not only providing additional benefits but also delivering over seven and a half tonnes of free luggage allowances across our network.”

The promotional campaign was launched to celebrate Loganair reaching the major milestone of carrying almost 7.5 million passengers since 2017, a significant achievement for the airline.

Luke Lovegrove continued: “We have carried almost 7.5 million customers since Loganair was relaunched under its own brand in 2017, so we thought it fitting to celebrate with a promotional give-away to our valued customers. Whether you’re heading to the Highlands and Islands or jetting to or from major cities like Manchester, Edinburgh or London, this is the perfect time to book ahead for a summer break.”

The promotion is expected to deliver more than seven and a half tonnes of complimentary checked baggage across Loganair’s network, making summer and autumn travel easier for passengers flying key routes including Manchester to Aberdeen, Dundee to London Heathrow, and Edinburgh to Exeter.

Earlier this year, Loganair was ranked second in the Which? annual customer survey of short-haul airlines, achieving a 72% customer score. The airline received a five-star rating for customer service and four stars for booking, boarding, and cleanliness.

The Fly Flex offer is available from 2nd – 9th July on selected Loganair routes and is available exclusively at

Stena Line to Withdraw Rosslare-Cherbourg Service from October

Stena Line is withdrawing its three-day Rosslare to Cherbourg ferry service from the end of September. The ferry operator’s customer-service team will liaise with customers who have booked travel on the route for after September.

The company took the decision following a strategic route review and said that: "these plans have been developed after an extensive review with the intention of strengthening the company's investment in the Irish Sea, while delivering the most efficient use of the company’s resources".

Johan Edelman, Trade Director, Stena Line, said: “The company has already met with our colleagues and over this period of consultation we will be working with any individual affected to consider all options, including redeployment opportunities. As we work through this change we will continue to support our colleagues at every stage.”

Glenn Carr, Director of Commercial Business Units, Iarnród Éireann – Port Authority for Rosslare Europort, said: “While we are sorry to see Stena Line withdraw from the Rosslare Europort to Cherbourg route, we understand its decision relates to its own strategic priorities to focus on Irish Sea routes. We have already received queries and will immediately engage with other operators to ensure our record European frequency of up to 36 sailings per week is maintained, and we are confident we will continue to offer frequency and choice to trade and tourism customers alike.

"With ongoing investment under the port Masterplan and, with the OPW in the T7 Border Control Point facilities, our focus remains on expanding and improving services and facilities through Ireland's Gateway to Europe. In addition, we will soon be submitting a planning application for the onshore hub facilities to support Ireland's Offshore Renewable Energy developments in the Celtic and Irish Seas."
