Actually Delta are to codeshare with VS on MCO-EDI.
Within a 2 hour drive of MCO is Jacksonville (1 million Pop) Miami (6 Million) Tampa (400k).
Just at the weekend in a cafe in Edinburgh I spoke with two well to do Spanish woman from Cartenga in South of Spain, I asked how they got here, Ryanair from Alicante (1h15m drive)
There are large catchment areas now for direct flights, and what we would view "bucket and spade" flights do often have a hugely mixed clientele.
Just as everyone who flies to Edinburgh, Edi isn't their final destination as the Glasgow city centre bus to Edi apt can testify too.
