Agreed, if flying commercially the destination will be an important element in your choice of route. If the destination is served from London or Amsterdam then Glasgow is a consideration. You also have to look at the overall time spent in transit. A Glasgow resident can get up early, travel to EDI, catch the early flight to CDG and be having his evening meal in equatorial Africa. On the return journey, if his overnight gets into CDG in time to let him catch the early EDI flight, with clock changes he can be stepping of the train or bus in Glasgow before 10 AM.
For holiday flying, the three airports might offer three different choices to the one destination. Looking at all the flight times, there will be one that might work in better for you. All the airports are within a reasonable distance so must be considered.
