   Fingers crossed for some international routes from Flybe out of Scotland.   
   French regional flights would be also nice, including EDI and GLA to   
   Bordeaux.   
      
   If they add Inverness, I wonder what the chances are of them adding   
   Inverness to EDI and GLA? A route which could probably take some   
   competition.

   Anyone know what LOT's hub connections are like? Presumably good for Eastern   
   Europe and Russia? Do they fly any further East?

   Inverness-Stansted and Dublin might be a possibility. With any luck some   
   international services too. Paris BVA maybe?

   Yes indeed. Full marks!
