Introduction

Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, is a bustling metropolis. It is a historic city with its Old Town and New Town declared as Heritage Sites by UNESCO. As a capital city, it welcomes lots of visitors who travel to the city for tourism or business. Edinburgh boasts of over 1 million visitors each year due to its many historic sites and annual festivals. To get to Edinburgh, the traveler can choose to fly or drive. But, the fastest way to go to the city is to take flights to Edinburgh.

Step 1

Doing an online search is one way of looking for flights to Edinburgh . Type the main keywords, 'flights to Edinburgh', on your browsers.  Most of the results generated by your keywords are price comparison sites such as Skyscanner, Cheap Flights UK, Kayak, and Travel Supermarket.

Step 2

When using any of these sites, you only have to enter your travel dates, number of passengers, departure and destination cities. The flight tracker will search the world wide web for good deals on flights to Edinburgh displaying the lowest price. Take the example of leaving from Orlando and you will see that there are no direct flights to Edinburgh from any of the airports in Orlando. KLM, Air France, Virgin Atlantic operate flights to the city, but with layovers in places such as Atlanta or Detroit Wayne County in the US and Amsterdam, Paris and Birmingham in Europe. The latter seems to be the shortest way. From Orlando, you only have to take connecting flights to Edinburgh from Birmingham. If your departure point is a city in Asia, you’ll see that most flights to Edinburgh make a stop-over in one or two cities, a country in the Middle East and usually major European cities such as London, Dublin, Paris, Frankfurt, Geneva, or Berlin.

Step 3

Thus, a logical way to begin your quest in finding flights to Edinburgh is to look at the official website of Edinburgh Airport. In addition to standard information on plane arrivals and departures, you will also find a list of airlines flying to specific destinations. These airlines include both commercial and budget airlines that operate flights. RyainAir, a popular low-cost airline is on the list as well as EasyJet, Germanwings and Jet2.com.

Step 4

However, most of these budget airlines take off from smaller and often inconvenient airports. So, if you’re arriving in Berlin from Asia or the Middle East to take your connecting flights to Edinburgh, you have to go to Schoenefeld Airport which is outside of the city proper, if you’re landing at Brandenburg Airport. In addition, budget airlines often have seasonal flights to Edinburgh which, despite its low offers, do not make them attractive at all when you factor in flight availability and convenience. 

Step 5

Budget airlines are only convenient if you have flexible dates and if you are not in a hurry to catch flights to Edinburgh. The best option to find suitable flights is to look at regularly scheduled flights operating to the city. You can go to the official sites of these airlines on the web and book your flights to Edinburgh. As alternatives, you can also choose to reserve flights to Edinburgh on travel websites such as Expedia and Orbitz. Early bookings will get you good prices for flights to Edinburgh in addition to the flexibility of choosing flight schedules and booking seats that are convenient to you.
