    Jeez – they really hate Manchester, don’t they? No lounge and no direct routes (unless there’s something else in the offing).

    Thanks for this Rob. I’ve checked out dates from EDI-JER using Avios and they’re there right enough!
    However, I have to admit to being deflated when I saw the destinations. Absolutely no disrespect to Jersey & Guernsey, but I thought there may have been destinations on mainland Europe. Still, at least EDI is still on BA’s radar. Unlike MAN (it appears). Sorry @NorthernLass etc.

    Lots of local rumours about that, involving bags of dubious substances!

    Traditionally, Barrhead Travel has worked with/chartered BA Cityflier and sold flights from EDI to various European destinations.
