They are starting a EDI-BOH service in April. This had the possibility of being a godsend to me but a single daily rotation renders it pretty much useless. The timings (7 days a week) are:-

EDI-BOH - Depart 07:50. Arrive 09:10
BOH-EDI - Depart 09:40. Arrive 11:00

I can't see the 07:50 flight appealing to people wanting a weekend in Edinburgh. These times coupled with an evening rotation would be something to get excited about.

I've just booked a one-way on Good Friday for less than £20. Their CC surcharge is very fair in that they charge 2% of the total price. This is more representitive of the true charge to them than BA, EZY, FR, BE, etc who charge a flat fee of up to £4 per leg.
