Called Delta today to redeem some miles and go visit Ghani, and, after navigating the push buttons, got to the International Desk. Told the lady when I wanted to travel, where I wanted to go, etc... and she said "oh, we don't fly into Edinburgh. We actually don't go to Scotland at all. But it looks like we work with AirFrance, who goes into there." [1]
I'm thinking, "fine, just make reservations." She checks, and nothing available. Asks if I'm flexible with the dates, I say yes, she puts me on hold for 10 minutes, and there's still nothing available. Tells me she can maybe put me into Shannon or Dublin. Rather than argue the finer points of geography[2], I ask if she can put me into London. She can, at 10 am on the 1st. Can she get me out of Edinburg? Around the 12th? No. She advised me to call back in a week or so to see if there's any cancellations. [3]

[1] I hope she knows where her partner carriers fly, even if it France.
[2] as an international travel person, I'd hope she actually knows where Scotland is, and which isle it's attached to.
[3] so after a 35 minute call, most of it listening to her typing, I got nothing.
