A DIRECT air link between Edinburgh and New York has been hailed for helping to contribute £184 million in tourism revenue to Scotland's economy.
Continental Airlines yesterday celebrated the fifth anniversary of its service between Edinburgh and its New York hub, Newark Liberty International Airport, which has carried more than 650,000 passengers since its launch.

Scottish tourism minister Jim Mather said: "Five years on from its launch, the Continental Edinburgh-Newark route continues to give Scotland a real competitive advantage. The service has also provided a real boost to our tourism industry."

The meenister has obviously never been on one of Continental's piece of shyt planes with their flight attendants with major attitude.

BA via LHR is the way to go to NY and at least be treated like half a human

LHR by choice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have you been there????????
Why not BA EDI-JFK. Would take an hour less than LHR-JFK as those flights come up over Scotland anyway therefore going via LHR and changing planes adds about 3 hours to a 6 hour flight.
