I confess I just added to their problems. I cancelled that booking and travelled to Edinburgh by train instead. Same price, 1st class rail travel, arrive at the station 10 minutes before departure, walk straight to a taxi on arrival, no security, no standing in line, less total travel time, free bacon butty, stations at both ends more conveniently placed than airports, wifi all the way so almost no time lost. Sadly, domestic travel between hubs also served by rail is always going to be a difficult business model for an airline.
