Due to fly to Edinburgh tomorrow and rather than waste time getting to Luton is it likely that the flight wll be cancelled?

Have you thought about ringing the airport to establish the current/latest flight delays?

I'd seriously consider getting the train for a journey like that.

Doesn't take too long from somewhere like MK.

well if it all goes to plan 2 hours of my day means a lot to me besides having to travel to MK and the fact that the rail ticket is twice the price of the air fare
