Having random dates sold out and other dates showing only the highest fare is typical of flights being removed from sale. Nothing to do with how many are booked on it or what seats have been reserved. The following screenshot is from Google Flights for GLA-JFK in June 2021:

Further dampening of demand now that France & Netherlands are joining the 14 days self-isolating group of countries - I assume it covers people transiting airside through AMS but perhaps somebody could confirm

GLA has seen a larger percentage drop in flights to/from the 14 days self-isolating group than EDI or PIK because both Jet2 and TUI have been more cautious / responsible / (choose your own word) than other airlines

I simply cannot believe that every returning passenger is self-isolating (the press frequently use the word 'quarantine' which in my mind is a totally different level of enforcement) - even assuming 50% loads that is still a lot of people (32 out of 36 weekly flights to/from PIK are Spain & Portugal, and probably more than that number to/from EDI)

Added . . . . extract from Scottish Government website You should self-isolate in one place for the full 14 days, where you can have food and other necessities delivered, and stay away from others. You must self-isolate at the address you provided on the passenger locator form.

Doubt it as you are not entering the country.

It absolutely does just like transiting DOH. It was clearly stated on Radio Scotland this morning - transit passengers must quarantine. Guess that’s more staff unfurloughed being furloughed again! :x

In a biological sense you are entering the country though and "biological" is what this is all about unfortunately.

Ironic - when it’s probably the Brits and other nationalities causing the increases in these countries!
