One crew member was so struck by the choice of hotel—markedly different than the Marriotts and Hiltons the 176th maintenance squadron is used to—that he texted someone close to him and said the crew’s per diem allowance wasn’t enough to cover food and drinks at the ritzy resort.

Had the crew needed to make a stop in the U.K.—which they have never done before on this routine trip—Lakenheath Air Base is situated nearby in England. The layover might have been cheaper, too: the military gets billed at a higher rate for fuel at commercial airports.

RAF Lossiemouth in the North of Scotland is quite commonly used. FYI it’s also the emergency shuttle landing site on this side of the Atlantic for NASA b/c the runway is designed for large military aircraft. There is no excuse for landing at a commercial airport in Glasgow.
