Well Humberside,

No news indeed about Edinburgh ...
Estonian Air actually has regular flights to London, Manchester and Dublin but not yet to "Scotland, the brave", and as far as I know nothing is planned about that route in a near future.

Well, I was amazed about the Vueling load : from BRU to BCN on Sunday afternoon 13/02 I guess they had a 75%, but when returning from Barcelona on Friday 18/02 the plane was almost full (at least some 90%).
