I can't see Manchester taking more passengers from Glasgow than EDI - that is simply wishful thinking. I wish there were official up to date figures on this available somewhere which will prove my point.
I certainly wouldn't have a problem travelling through to GLA to use get a direct flight if I was travelling to anywhere in Europe if one wasn't available at EDI. I have done this a few times before and it will be absolutely the same in reverse. Thankfully there are not many destinations in Europe left that EDI doesn't have covered.
When travelling long haul though, the connections are inevitable.
