Iceland a one off, however I can see it being just as popular as Funchal, so
maybe travel solutions will introduce more especially if the one off fills up
quickly
I cannot see Iceland being a big hit, or a long term arrangement. Iceland Express were not happy enough with forward bookings last year when they put it on the schedule, which was linked to the Edinburgh flight, yet EDI was kept started at that time by them. So many other routes to sunny climates and didnt last including Rome and other and many seasonal year round routes by various airlines including Berlin, Gdansk, Warsaw, Budapest, Venice, Toulouse, Munich, Milan and so on.
What about Orlando, Toronto...
Funchal has potential if it is marketed to the summer holiday market correctly, would be a draw from the usual front runners including Majorca, Canaries, Faro and Malaga.
