Do Easy really see Loganair and Emerald as rivals?! I'd have though they had bigger things to worry about.

Nice and Barcelona would be good routes, but lets see what happens. BA Cityflyer are retreating again next year and can't imagine Loganair or Emerald are too pleased with the Easyjet domestics. This could all end up a spectacular disaster for Southampton Airport. We don't need to see duplicate routes to the likes of Palma and Malaga.
I'd be surprised if it wasn't Palma/Malaga/Alicante, maybe Faro. BA Cityflyer always seemed to be a marriage of convenience.
