Great news. Didn't realise it was only 5 weekly.

Was always an oddity. Plenty of options to connect during the summer on other routes. Maybe will some of the VS seats?

Orlando, 8 weeks in height of school summer holidays and oddity?

​​​​​​YEs, a family of four will quite happily connect via EWR or LHR for a holiday to Orlando.

I suspect they cancelled because their operation has been a mess and Virgin continuing with Orlando next year to an airport 85km closer to the action didn't help.

I guess the economic fallout will mean many routes get slashed if as predicted inflation goes to 18% and interest rates go as high as 7%

Still able to book both on TUI website so not sure where this rumour has come from.

The timings are odd anyway as some flights are before the main school holidays start.

if it’s true here’s hoping VS increase to compensate

United S23

Currently United Website shows EWR, ORD and IAD all B757 next summer. Does anyone think the B764 will come back on the Washington route?

The positioning of the 787s from the main bases to the the likes of EDI has been a logistical nightmare at times this summer. Is it really worth it just to operate two weekly flights? I can’t help feel TUI might end up consolidating the long haul programme to just LGW, BRS, BHX, MAN and GLA. Although if DSA closes it might alleviate some of the pressure.

Not sure about a 764 on the IAD route given that ORD appears to be scheduled for a full summer season in 2023. One thing that is different is the number of Polaris seats offered on the 752. It appears 2 x seats have been dropped or blanked out for some reason. Only 14 on sale instead of the normal 16.

Jetblue

JetBlue appear to be ramping up plans for further expansion using 321N. Could this be good news for EDI? The much rumoured expansion into secondary European destinations. Reduced meal service is the compromise using this aircraft. Have we already seen DL for example preempt such a move by switching to a more premium heavy 763 aircraft on the JFK route from November and increasing BOS to daily in S23?

I suspect they’ll be focussed enough to start where competition (outwith premium London) and seasonality are less of an issue. Perhaps MAN at a push. Don’t see EDI unless DL or UA withdrew.

MANCHESTER at a push? Lol do you know the catchment area the airport covers? you seem to put Manchester down at every opportunity

Manchester, which by comparison to Edinburgh, has lost American, United and Delta. All's not well on that front, sometimes relative decline sneaks up on you, look at Glasgow compared to summers with NW, AA, UA and AC all flying long haul alongside Britannia and Air 2000. Markets evolve and change, sometimes brutally. MAN nabbed Aer Lingus and an expanded Virgin but it's still well down, and you can't blame BA and the increasingly useless LHR connection.

Virgin took over Delta Atlanta and New York routes! Delta were going to start Boston but the pandemic started. United is coming back next year. So?

🤪 Are we still on the EDI forum? 🤪 Just saying…..

But I agree I see MAN and BHX before EDI unless they want to take on the competition. They haven’t shied away from that in London.

I have a hunch and it’s nothing more that they may take a punt at BOS-EDI. Big presence there for JB. DL enjoying a really strong summer load factors with this route. They’ve already put S23 on sale and increased to daily. Coincidence?

Any need for the bad attitude?

Not sure JetBlue will turn up at EDI given the amount of competition. GLA however, might have a chance.
