a common misconception now with booking methods nowadays. Its not the sort of route that someone would have seen an advert of a bus and thought- aah yeah I love to visit Georgia. Booking engines and the Expedias of the world are how these routes work or dont. A huge chunk who did actually used this route were connecting anyway. Skyteam and their cheaper KL AMS connectors where a big part in its downfall. A 763 is quite a lot to fill daily on this sort of route. I cant see what has changed now. JFK and OneWorld is different. Can the Local Aviosers resist Concorde Lounge LHR connect for the height of summer ? Presumably in a different league to the failed BA "scheduled" IBZ experiment.
>>if they had actually advertised the service, it could have done better<<
Ay-Men to that! I used the service very frequently when it ran, so much so that I was on first name terms with the same immigration agent at ATL, and that was the one consistent bitch from all of the DL crews was that there was not one bit of publicity for the flight in the US and I think I only saw one billboard for the flight & that was within 2 weeks of the service finishing.
My colleagues in the US had no idea that DL were running the service, not even the Company travel agent knew about it. no wonder it got pulled.

Delta have a history of changing the scheduling of flights in the USA. I booked
EDI-ATL and connections to the northern USA western towns/cities on a couple of occasions. The itinerary was consistently changed by Delta and overnight stays became necessary.

Seems the security at EDI has caused some upset.

The problem with so-called 'celebrities' being they expect instant recognition
and VIP fast tracking. Perhaps EDI's new Google Glasses will identify them as VIPs and they will receive the adoration and special treatment they crave.?

"Improvements" and long queues also occuring at Heathrow-5 at present.
Most carriers have email contact details of pax. Maybe they should get in touch with an automated "no-reply" email advising pax to arrive even earlier when these "improvements" are causing longer security queues.
Otherwise it's an "ambush", pax turn up as normal without any idea of what is going on, and risk missing their flights.

Didn't BD do EDI-CPH and GLA-CPH?
The timings were such that passengers could change flights at Newcastle, so BCal effectively ran flights to both Scandinavian capitals from both of Scotland's major cities.
SAS service EDI-CPH will have to compete with existing services from easyJet and Norwegian. Looking at SAS prices for May on Skyscanner they seem a wee bit expensive but hopefully they will come into line and help keep all prices competitive
