More bollocks.... Why bankroll services from a faraway airport when folk have local choices. Besides we keep getting told that services from GLA are full of affluent Glaswegians... Why bother with eastcoasters if Glasgow can fill the flights.?

There will, of course, only be so many seats available daily from GLA. It's good that there are alternatives, but I hope the direct service from Scotland is a success. It may encourage further Emirates expansion at other Scottish airports, like Continental.

Looks like EK's success is already insured and we still need other, possibly cheaper alternatives. It's the same with the COA flights. I'm looking at a short break in New York but at short notice I have no chance on the direct flight. Any remaining seats are £500-£600. Despite my fly direct stance £338 via LHR on BA looks like my best bet at the moment. Oh well - it's either that or not go at all and it's for my Dad's 70th birthday treat - a trip of a lifetime for him and more important than any reservations I have about supporting BA via LHR.

I would agree entirely. I hope to use the new CO service from EDI on a trip to New York which I'm hoping to take late November. Provided the price is right, of course, and assuming there is availability. Fly direct where possible/feasible, though I'm not generally one to be fazed by having to route via another airport. Travelling long-haul with BA via LHR will remain a bit of a pain, though, until such time as T5 is up and running.

Provided the price is right, of course, and assuming there is availability. November is the cheapest time to the US but as you know keep an eye on the price and strike while the iron is hot for a good deal. It would be a shame to miss out on the direct flight if that's avoidable. I'm sure you don't need my advice but even if you find an indirect fare a few quid cheaper, the extra few quid on the direct flight would be money well spent (within your own parameters of course). Quote: Fly direct where possible/feasible, though I'm not generally one to be fazed by having to route via another airport. Travelling long-haul with BA via LHR will remain a bit of a pain, though, until such time as T5 is up and running. Yes indeed. My Dad has trouble with his legs and rushing from T1 to T4 will not be ideal. On the plus side it's a BA 744. Anyone advise me on the IFE? I like the in flight information - maps, altitude, etc but I suppose an Emirates style camera is 'oot the windae'? Also can we pre-book seats? One of my brothers will be joining us at LHR (he is Cardiff based) the other flying from EDI and me and the old man from GLA.
