Guys, thanks for the comments. As with many regular visitors to FL I guess I've done the wide spectrum of flight options (limited as they are starting from Scotland) and this time the lure of a direct flight

was the main driver for the party.
I didn't imagine there to be any downside with Globespan and even if there was I'm sure it could have been suffered for 9 hours. I'm looking forward to less "hassle" in the smaller airport, many years since I last went through SFB so looking for some improvements, not again that that really matters... maybe a little on the return.
6 weeks tomorrow
