Flying with children, families and groups from Belfast to Edinburgh

Three things to know about the flight from Belfast to Edinburgh with children: infants under two fly on a lap, children get their own seat and normally a lower fare, and a folding pushchair goes free. Groups get seats together and, on many airlines, a group rate. Let us know the numbers and we handle the rest, including the transfer with enough room for everyone.

Things to do in Edinburgh when you land

Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland, a city of a castle on a crag, the medieval Old Town and the Georgian New Town, with Edinburgh Airport (EDI) about 13 km west of Princes Street; the Highlands, Loch Lomond, St Andrews and Glasgow all begin within an hour of the terminal by road. Start with the Royal Mile and Holyrood Palace, Arthur's Seat and Calton Hill at sunset, then the National Museum of Scotland and the Royal Yacht Britannia at Leith. A tip from our desk: If your stay is in St Andrews, the Highlands, Glasgow or a golf resort, book the transfer to that place directly - the airport sits at the junction of the M8 and M9 and is the right starting point for all of them.

We offer tours and transfers in Edinburgh as well as the flight ticket - one conversation, one plan for the whole trip.

Best time to fly from Belfast to Edinburgh

Flights from Belfast to Edinburgh run all year, several a day. August brings the Festival and the Fringe, when the city doubles in size, December the Christmas market and Hogmanay; summer days are long and winter ones short and wet, and the A8 and city bypass are slowest at weekday rush hours. If you can travel outside those weeks the same seat costs less and the airports are quieter. Whatever the month, early booking is the single biggest saving.

Return flight from Edinburgh to Belfast

We book the return leg from Edinburgh to Belfast just as easily, usually on the same ticket. Booking both directions together lets us compare a return fare against two singles - on some airlines the return is much cheaper, on others two one-ways with different carriers win. Tell us the day you want to come back on the form and we send both directions with the cost.

How much is a flight from Belfast to Edinburgh?

"How much is the Belfast to Edinburgh flight?" is the question we get most, and the honest answer is that it moves every day. Low fares open months ahead and disappear as seats sell; peak seasons, school holidays and the most convenient departure times cost more; a fare with a checked bag and a flexible ticket cost more than a hand-luggage-only seat. Haqqi Tours offers the current cost for your date within minutes of receiving the form - the actual fare, not an estimate.

The figure we send is the total: ticket, taxes and the baggage included in that fare. If a departure two hours earlier is cheaper, or a different airline includes a suitcase for the same money, we say so, because the cheapest Belfast to Edinburgh flight is often not the one at the top of a search.

Cheapest flight from Belfast to Edinburgh: how to pay less

A cheap Belfast to Edinburgh flight ticket is rarely luck. It is the right airline, the right day and the right fare class - which is what we check for you:

• Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are typically cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
• Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which often carry the lowest fares
• Let us know if your dates are flexible - moving by a day can change the fare a lot
• Pack to the fare: a hand-luggage-only ticket is cheaper if you do not need a checked bag
• Compare airlines - on this route the cheapest carrier changes from day to day
• Book both directions together when a return fare is cheaper than two singles, which we verify

We answer "what is the cheapest way to fly from Belfast to Edinburgh?" many times a day; the answer for your dates comes back through WhatsApp with the booking ready to confirm.

Airlines flying from Belfast to Edinburgh

On the flight from Belfast to Edinburgh you can choose between easyJet and Ryanair. A full-service airline generally includes a checked bag, a meal and a flexible ticket; a low-cost fare is cheaper at the start and adds those items one by one. We provide both and tell you the total for the way you actually travel.

• easyJet - Belfast to Edinburgh
• Ryanair - Belfast to Edinburgh

Departure: Belfast International (BFS) or George Best Belfast City (BHD) (BFS / BHD)

Your journey starts at Belfast International (BFS) or George Best Belfast City (BHD) (BFS / BHD). We tell you the terminal for your airline, when check-in and bag drop close, and whether the airport has fast-track security worth booking. The airport express bus runs from Belfast International to Belfast Grand Central in about ٤٠ minutes and suits a central hotel with a cabin bag; from Belfast City Airport a train from the adjacent Sydenham station or a short bus ride reaches the centre in about ١٠ minutes, but the Causeway Coast, Derry, Dublin and the Banbridge studios are simplest by private car.

• Online check-in opens 24-48 hours before; we send the link and the booking reference
• Keep the passport or ID used for booking with the e-ticket - names must match exactly
• Check the baggage included in your fare - we tell you before you book
• Haqqi Tours provides a private transfer from your hotel in Belfast to Belfast International (BFS) or George Best Belfast City (BHD)

Arrival: Edinburgh Airport (EDI) and getting into Edinburgh

You arrive at Edinburgh Airport (EDI). The Edinburgh Trams run from the airport to Princes Street and St Andrew Square in about 35 minutes and the Airlink 100 bus is quick to Waverley; both suit a traveller with a small bag, but Old Town hotels sit up closes and stairs, and a Highland lodge or St Andrews has no direct rail, so a car from the terminal is the easy choice. If you would rather not think about it, we book a private transfer from the airport to your hotel in Edinburgh, with the driver tracking the flight in case it is late.

Many travellers continue from Edinburgh to somewhere else. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.

Baggage, seats and classes on the Belfast to Edinburgh flight

Baggage is the item that most often changes the real cost of a flight from Belfast to Edinburgh. Full-service fares normally include a checked bag and a cabin bag; low-cost fares start with a small cabin bag and add the rest. We tell you the allowance of the fare we send, and whether adding a suitcase at booking is cheaper than at the airport (it almost always is). Seats can be selected on most airlines for a fee or free at check-in; in economy and business the differences are space, meals and flexibility.

• Adding baggage at booking is cheaper than at the airport - we add it for you
• Seat selection free or paid depending on the carrier; families seated together on request
• Infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced fare; children have their own seat and fare
• Meals included on full-service airlines; special meals ordered in advance on request
