Edinburgh Airport, could it be any worse?
Try Melbourne DOM and INT, both 
holes, a constant building site with easy 70's decor, poorly laid out, over crowded, poor selections of shops and places to eat then if you can get something to eat, there's no where to sit down to eat it. My favourite used to be Sumburgh, always a joy to travel threw.

BTW, on the subject of EDI, does anyone know what happened to Gate 8? :-)

Harry Wayfarers, you sound like an inveterate snob! The cost of my flight has nothing to do with the organisational capabilities of the staff employed at Edinburgh airport, therefore I suggest that you wind your neck in!

It's attracting much more than P2P these days. I have first hand experience of it. Every. Single. Day. EDI is now a place where a lot of the long haul carriers send people to transit to other long haul services.
GLA got delusions of grandeur once, assumed UA GLA-IAD would be filled by Midland feeding from CPH......!
Re the headline question - the answer is yes, it could be Luton.
A departure lounge with seats for probably 1/4 of the people in there (Space given over to another of these 'you must walk through this' shops and an increased number of food outlets in what used to be seating areas, all designed to make you spend money on overpriced fare just to get a seat.)

I just think it'as incredibly illogical to require people to pass through UK immigration when they are not even coming to the UK and it makes a journey through EDI a hassle for those who have to. It is about time the terminal joined the modern world and if having a better transit facility means a tiny inconvenience to domestic passengers then so be it.

Those would be 'interline' connections as no airline has a hub in EDI. Through prices would be sum-of-sector fares - probably not very competitive. I doubt if you would get half a double-decker bus a year doing that.
And having done it once, it's likely no one would never do it again.
