The problem with EZY domestics is that they seem to be treated very much as poor relations to their international routes and in many cases used to fill a gap in a line of flying when they can’t fit in anything longer. Even their Gatwick - Glasgow/Edinburgh schedules are dire at times. I have to regularly do day trips to Edinburgh and I live just a bit south of Gatwick. During the summer, on a Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday they have no flights EDILGW between 1500 and 2100. As such I try to travel on a Thursday or a Friday but if I have to go earlier in the week I go from LHR and back to LHR because that’s where my car is. I have seriously thought about going from/to SOU but the unpredictability of the Chichester bypass puts me off (and the alternative of the A272 is also unpredictable). In a nutshell, EZY will do no good whatsoever to the long term SOU Scotland market and I sincerely hope SOU are not giving them discounts on the GLA route. If they are they are short term fools.
