    The RASCO figures showed:
    1-hour access time by road:
    To Edinburgh Airport : 2,536m or 50.1% of the Scottish population
    2-hour access by road:
    To Edinburgh Airport : 4,01m or 79.2% of the Scottish population

    90 mins is inbetween so very roughly you could say:

    3.273 million! 😎

    I think mine would have to be Prague too. Lots of interesting bridges, amazing cathedrals and pubs! 😀

    That’s another vote for Prague. Prague is now winning! 🙂
    From the pics it looks an amazing place. Plus, the czechs could be in a particularly good mood if they win Euro2004! 😉

    Well, RIPConcorde and Shamrock321, you are both right…

    From today, 1 July, until 31 August, Snowflake “will co-operate with Scandinavian Airlines” (which sounds ridiculous, since Snowflake uses their aircraft and crews) and offer flights to these new destinations;

    Edinburgh, Dublin, Milan LIN, Paris CDG, Amsterdam, Brussels

    The “co-operation” means that Snowflake gets a number of allocated seats on certain SAS flights from Stockholm to the above destinations. The reason for this offer being time-limited is simply that the amount of business travellers is less during the summer and then, of course, it’s better to fill the empty seats with people paying a little rather than no people who pay nothing.

    That was what I could find out now, being outside the company intranet which probably contains more detailed infos… and if you want to see a Snowflake aircraft but lives far from a Snowflake destination: don’t worry! Snowflake’s 737-800 and MD-80 fly all over SAS’ routenet, they are not earmarked in any way. But they were supposed to be from the beginning, though…

    Considering 736s are used at EDI, there aren’t that many seats to allocate!

    All these nice comments about Edinburgh! 😀
    Shame it’s not really an option as I see it every day of my life! 😉

    Top 3 currently are:

    1=) Prague
    1=) Barcelona
    1=) Paris
    2) Athens
    3) Istanbul

    Nice to hear someone wants my explanation! However, I have no clue what this is about as I’ve just come home from a week’s holiday in Berlin. I’ll check the latest company news and come back asap, ok?

    Look forward to it! 🙂

    The globespan website I quoted yesterday when I broke the news in the ‘quiet in here’ thread talks about 29 quid, isn’t the 14 quid excluding tax? 15 quid tax could be about about right…

    £29 including tax I believe.
    SAS do operate at EDI currently.

    Nice omission there! 😀

    If they think they are called American Airways :rolleyes: , then I suspect it’s Continental who are the likely contenders! 🙂

    or American Airlines, but never mind! 😉 😀

    Snowflake has no slots allocated for the winter of 04/05 at Schiphol. Unless Snowflake gets some slots from SAS they are unlikely to go to AMS.

    It could be that SAS are to allocate some seats on the flights they are already operating to Snowflake.

    Looks like it’s been announced now. Looks like SAS could be leaving EDI after 5 months! although not entirely! 😉

    Snowflake to add 6 destinations
    30Jun SAS announced that its low-cost carrier snowflake would add another 6 European destinations this summer by the end of August. All would depart from Stockholm Arlanda’s Airport to Amsterdam, Brussels, Dublin, Edinburgh, Milan and Paris.
