Flying to Edinburgh
Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland—history, festivals, and stunning scenery. Edinburgh Airport is the main gateway and one of the busiest in the UK outside London.
Getting there
Edinburgh Airport (EDI) is about 8 miles west of the city centre, with tram and bus links. It has strong European coverage and a growing number of long-haul routes, including to the US. Use the search form above to compare fares; EDI is competitive, especially when you’re flexible on dates. If you’re touring Scotland, flying into Edinburgh and out of Glasgow (or vice versa) can work well.
When to fly
Demand peaks in August (Festival), summer, and around Hogmanay. For better value, look at January–March or November. Tuesday and Wednesday are typically cheaper than weekends.
Edinburgh is compact and walkable. If you're combining city and Highlands, EDI is a great base—and often cheaper than flying into London and taking the train up.

How to find cheap flights to Edinburgh
Search nearby airports
A nearby airport can be cheaper than the obvious one, especially when a city is served by multiple airports or regional alternatives.
Avoid peak travel days
Friday departures and Sunday returns often cost more. Midweek combinations are usually a better place to start.
Look outside the busiest season
Shoulder-season trips can deliver better fares, shorter lines, and more flexible flight options.
Review the full trip cost
The cheapest headline fare is not always the best value after carry-on fees, seat selection, and airport transfer costs.
