Or not, it seems.

Hopefully Berlin is succesful!

Then GLA will see more expansion. Looks promising

[Maddog Red]

Would Bremen not be a good base for EZY, it does seem to be crying out for Low Cost airline to come in and make a go of it

I have noticed that many of the NEw routes have very high price tags:

One flight to Malaga in July was £120.99 (one-way)

They must be doing very well in terms of sale as they are not competitive prices!!!

[bracebrace!]

That's because all the cheap fares have gone already.

Must be selling well!

[Travel Agent]

Or the fact it is the school holidays in Scotland from early July

[Oshkosh George]

I checked the fares after reading that(it's now MORE than £120),and also GSM,who were even higher!

The long suffering scottish traveller always has to endure high fares in the summer, especially during the "traditional" Glasgow fair fortnight in July. However that said and done, was considering a quick flight LGW-GLA on Friday the 4th March with BA around late afternoon - early evening. BA wanted over 163 English pounds for the pleasure!

With todays announcement of a 1x weekly ALC as their only summer addition from EDI , I think that sort of backs up my theory of bigger expansion at GLA than EDI due to the NCL effect ?

It's early days for Easy Jet expansion at EDI .... expect more routes to follow in the autumn.

NCL will not be a factor. If it was remotely a consideration, why bother with any routes at Edinburgh?

There's been a lot of talk about this EZY expansion, and the routes they've launched so far have been disappointing. SXF is the only one of any real worth.

With talk of new routes in the autumn, we'll see if they materialise...
