Of all the typical tourism destinations in the Balkans region, Albania is by far the least developed and connected and although it has ski resorts, I can't imagine many flock there.That said, I wish the routes well and hope this is the start of more expansion into the region from Scotland.

W23 ACL
W23 report published. Some interesting requests and noticeable increases compared to W22
Not all slots are actually used as we know but a busy W23 ahead.
Hainan - Slots requested throughout W23.
Emirates - Slots requested (if used) suggest a daily service.
Edelweiss - substantial increase in capacity.
Swiss - Slot request cancelled . Proposed new route to Geneva not going ahead.
BA - substantial increase in capacity compared to W22
Delta - increase in capacity, which suggest continuation of one of the seasonal routes or another new destination? I would guess ATL extended.
United - increase in capacity. Extension of one of the seasonal routes?
KLM - increase compared to W22
Wizz - substantial decrease compared to W22. One or two existing routes dropped?
Air Canada - increased. Already known extension to almost year round.
Qatar - increased. Already known increase to double daily, year round.
Eurowings - substantial increase compared to W22
Air France - small decrease.
Lufthansa - small increase.
Easyjet - substantial increase.
Ryanair - huge increase.
Atlantic Airways - increase.
Emerald (for Aer Lingus) - substantial increase.

The seat increases over the entire season for Delta and United are 308 and 2156 respectively. That does not indicate any current seasonal routes being extended. Indeed, we now know that the former will be providing less capacity this winter than last given the suspension of their JFK service in the first quarter of 2024.

Maybe EK will return by then….😉😉
Perhaps the market for Scots going to Australia via JFK isn't their target demographic? Don't stress about seasonality, there's such a thing as overthinking.....!

Delta W23
Aeroroutes reporting updated W23 schedules and other information. EDI-JFK - previously reported as being suspended from 8th Jan to 9th Mar 2024. This update perhaps creates uncertainty for the route. Not clear if this means an extended suspension or something else. Bookings, as of today remain possible from Mar 2024. One to watch.

* It would appear suspension has been extended. Delta updating system. Appears to resume 30th March from JFK.

United
Aircraft upgrade. High density J class 763 also being used on Chicago service this evening. Booked full in both cabins. It would appear
UA routes are doing very well to EDI.

I presume it must be down to be a shortage of 752's. Shannon to Chicago was also a high density J class 763 today.

United?
Aircraft operating is 46/22/99 = 167 seats replacing a 757 16/153 = 169 seats. I suppose upgrade in as much as it is a wide-body (massive if they have all paid business and premium fares) but slight downgrade in terms of passenger numbers.
I suppose no reason why there wouldn't be a specific surge in business/premium bookings on any given day and if so, excellent if United have catered for this.

The Polaris B767-300ER is surely covering for the planned B757 and not really a planned up-guage. It's wildly premium heavy for inbound tourism to Scotland, the B757s are now quite tech prone sadly. It has three times the volume of Business Class seats vs. the B757. Unless they actually took 46 bookings for Polaris business, both classes being full just means top end economy fares got a free upgrade? Remember the B757 carries 176 vs. 167 on the Polaris B763. This is a fully booked B757 load?

Observation only - Todays Chicago flight was pretty much full. I think I had the only empty seat next to me in Economy Plus.👌 Full front and back. I noted a lot of folks with golf club’s checking in with United today.
IMO Not unreasonably to think there could be a healthy load of J Class wanting to come over and spend their $$$s 😄

You have said Ryanair have a substantial increase but didn’t mention that it’s only Irish AOC that has an increase.
