The only reason for this quick trip to Glasgow was log two extra BA flights to meet the annual 4 BA flight requirement for BA Gold. I'll accumulate most of my Tier Points on other better One World airlines. The Gate was posted at T-50 and I left the lounge 5 minutes later for the short walk to nearby Gate A9.

Economy Exit Row aisle 12D
Boarding started at around T-35. As BA Gold, I was in Group 1 and able to board in the first group.
BA's fake Business Class seating. Economy seat and legroom with an open middle.
And the Economy cabin with exactly the same seat and legroom...
... except for exit row 11 and my row 12...
Unlike most of the "full service...LOL" airlines in the world, nothing is free, not even water. Not that I was hungry, but BA's BOB menu with lots of pretty pics which no doubt don't come close to looking like this in the real world.
With a flying time of 60 minutes, we arrived in Glasgow ontime and to much nicer sunny conditions.
Since BA won't sell a return flight with less than 60 minutes connect time, I headed for the BA Lounge to wait for the next Heathow flight.
The GLA Lounge is small but quite attractive.
At around T-35, I head back to the BA gates for my return to LHR.
Lots of Priortity pax in line this morning. Another day, another evil eye stare back.

Economy Exit Row aisle 9D
The A321 means loads of legroom in my row 9.
Back at LHR at the single digit A gates, a nice walk back to the First Class Lounge.
And the lunch spread.
A bite to eat before spending the afternoon catching up on work before I go Wifi-free for the night.
Yeah, I think I'll pass on the BA Gin.
