It is direct, via LHR, That's what "direct" means, one ticket

You'tr thinking of "non stop". No reason VS wouldn't pick it up again but BA? 99.99% unlikely.

Direct means one aircraft with the same flight no. It may stop on the way. Any change of plane does not count as direct.

Not true. Direct means it is one flight number. It may involve a change of aircraft, however where it does, the connection is guaranteed. i.e if the inbound flight is delayed, the second flight will be held at the airport until it arrives.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_flight for more information.

Yes, a massive increase suddenly - up 35% on March 2015. EDI-KEF saw a 96% load factor whilst GLA-KEF was around 76%.

On the other hand, Icelandair have premium economy, carry cargo and are generally much pricier than easyJet.

.....not forgetting that there is also now a KEF service from ABZ aswell!

Love Iceland, but the growth in flights from around the UK is nothing short of incredible over the last few years.

Air France launching GLA-CDG in March 2016 with daily A318, morning departure
And now appears to be year round with same once daily service throughout although listed as EQV for aircraft so presume same mix of 318/9
Now just need twice daily for better connections

Are there many Bulgarians in Glasgow/West of Scotland? There are far more Romanians and even Slovakians than I have expected. Lithuanians there seem to be a number of too in addition to the Poles.

AeroMexico has further expanded codeshare partnership with KLM, as it launched its own Mexico City – Amsterdam service last week (28MAY16). The expanded codeshare service sees AM code being placed on Amsterdam-Glasgow-Amsterdam flights.

Nice new option but I would have slight concerns about North East US over capacity in the summer rather than it being a 'no brainer'. Suspect US/AA to PHL will be first to go...

AA/US will need to up their game with their TATL 757s as they have the weakest onboard product by far.
