Glasgow airport - help!

I am flying in to Glasgow (from Hebrides with flybe) landing at 12.15.
I then want to book an onwards flight to London - the best option seems to be the 14.05 to Gatwick (with easyjet).
However I'm not familiar with Glasgow airport and wondered if that would be enough time to get my luggage and check in for next flight? I know no-one can see for definite but does it seem a reasonable thing to do?

Glasgow Airport isn't that big and as both flights are domestic you should be fine...unless the Hebrides flight is delayed of course!

It would have been easier to buy the flights as one journey - that way easy to check-in for both flights at the Hebs and get bags checked-through to London - so no need to go 'land-side' at all at Glasgow.

You might still be able to check-through for both flights if you show them both tickets. I know staff at Benbecula are very helpful and informal.

The problem you might have is that it is not easy to see departure gate info air-side, and departure gates for domestic flights are often not announced until 30-40 minutes before the flight time. Facilities around the domestic departure gates are pretty poor as well.

That said, 1hr 50min should be plenty to reclaim bags (it's not as though they have a lot of bags to unload on the Hebs flights :-)), check-in and queue back through security - maybe an hour in total.

Thanks both - I've gone for it - happy to take my chances on a delayed flight but didn't want to book something totally achievable.
Unfortunately I couldn't book all the way through as flybe don't fly direct from Glasgow to London and they are only company who do the Hebridean Island to Glasgow!! Would be easier to go to America I tell you!

True that GLA-LON isn't served by Flybe; the Benbecula-Glasgow flight is operated by Flybe/Loganair but is also a code-share with BA.
