Need to get that sorted. That would also affect westerners flying from Edinburgh, even more so. I have cancelled my TFS flight at the end of this month and debating January....

I don't see this 'travel to GLA on the naughty list' thing being heavily enforced. The Police are already attempting to distance themselves from a heavy handed approach. But on the other hand maybe Gordon Dewar is on the phone to EK Towers already informing them of their options...

The First Bus airport 500 service hurtled by me on the M8 earlier. It's rear end had a big advert saying "Fly to 19 destinations from Glasgow". I felt a little disappointed until I could just make out a grime covered "with Easyjet" logo near the exhaust pipe...

EDIT: Looks like this is actually non-op tomorrow. Looking at the website, it looks like going daily isn't happening for another couple of weeks.
