Airlines flying from Edinburgh to London

British Airways, easyJet, Ryanair and Loganair fly the Edinburgh to London route, non-stop. They differ in baggage rules, seat pitch, meals and the airports they use as much as in price, so the cheapest fare is not always the best value. Haqqi Tours lays the options out plainly: which fare includes a checked bag, which airline flies at the time you want, and which is the better choice for a family or a business trip.

Departure: Edinburgh Airport (EDI)

Flights from Edinburgh to London leave from Edinburgh Airport (EDI), serving Edinburgh - 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. Plan to be at the airport about two hours before an international departure and ninety minutes before a domestic one; earlier at peak times. Online check-in opens 24 to 48 hours before and we send the link with your ticket. Getting to the airport: 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.

• Keep the passport or ID used for booking with the electronic ticket - names must match exactly
• Check the baggage included in your fare - we tell you before you book
• Haqqi Tours arranges a private transfer from your hotel in Edinburgh to Edinburgh Airport
• Just ask about the terminal and fast-track options at Edinburgh Airport

Arrival: London Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton or City (LHR / LGW / STN / LTN / LCY) and getting into London

The flight lands at London Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton or City (LHR / LGW / STN / LTN / LCY). London is served by more airports than any city in the world: Heathrow (LHR) about 25 km west of the centre, Gatwick (LGW) about 45 km south, Stansted (STN) about 60 km north-east, Luton (LTN) about 55 km north and London City close to Canary Wharf; the West End, the City, Westminster and Kensington form the centre, with Windsor, Oxford and Cambridge within reach by road. From arrivals you have taxis, metro, tram or bus and, if you book it with us, a Haqqi Tours driver waiting with your name. For a family with bags, a pre-booked airport transfer is the easiest way to finish the Edinburgh to London journey: fixed price, flight tracked, straight to the hotel door.

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

Baggage, seats and classes on the Edinburgh to London flight

Before you compare the Edinburgh to London flight prices, compare what they carry. A fare with hand luggage only can look cheapest and end up dearer once a bag is added. Haqqi Tours offers the fare that matches your bags: cabin bag only for a short trip, checked bag for a holiday, extra allowance for a long stay. Seat selection, meals and priority boarding are optional extras on many airlines; we tell you which are worth it.

• Meals included on full-service airlines; special meals ordered in advance on request
• Business class: bigger seat, meal, lounge, priority boarding - we send the cost beside economy
• Cabin bag on every fare; checked bag included on full-service fares, optional on low-cost ones
• Adding baggage at booking is cheaper than at the airport - we add it for you

Flying with children, families and groups from Edinburgh to London

Families fly the Edinburgh to London route with us week in, week out. Infants under two travel on a lap at a small fare; children have a seat and a child fare where the carrier offers one; pushchairs are checked free at the gate on most airlines. We seat the family together, order children's meals where they exist and choose a departure time that suits nap and bedtime. For groups, we book the seats in one reservation and ask the airline for a group fare where the numbers justify it.

Things to do in London when you land

London is served by more airports than any city in the world: Heathrow (LHR) about 25 km west of the centre, Gatwick (LGW) about 45 km south, Stansted (STN) about 60 km north-east, Luton (LTN) about 55 km north and London City close to Canary Wharf; the West End, the City, Westminster and Kensington form the centre, with Windsor, Oxford and Cambridge within reach by road. The reasons passengers fly from Edinburgh to London include the West End theatres, Windsor Castle, Oxford Street and Regent Street, Buckingham Palace and the Changing of the Guard and the Tower of London and Tower Bridge. For the first meal, try fish and chips, a full English breakfast and afternoon tea.

If you want the days in London organised - a driver, a guide, timed entry tickets - we do that too. Mention it through WhatsApp.

Best time to fly from Edinburgh to London

London is busy all year, with summer, the Christmas lights and the January sales at the peak; the M4 from Heathrow, the M23 from Gatwick and the M1 from Luton are slowest at weekday rush hours, and a Sunday evening back into town. For the fare itself, the cheapest flights from Edinburgh to London are found outside school holidays and major events, on mid-week days, booked early. Peak weeks sell out first and cost most; shoulder months give the best mix of weather, availability and price.

Return flight from London to Edinburgh

The London to Edinburgh flight is the same route in reverse, about 1 hour 25 minutes. Haqqi Tours provides the return ticket in the same conversation; if you are not yet sure of the return date, we can book a flexible outbound or wait, and explain which is cheaper.

How much is a flight from Edinburgh to London?

Flight prices from Edinburgh to London follow demand: book early on a quiet day and you pay a fraction of a last-minute fare in high season. The carrier you choose, whether the fare includes baggage, the seat class and the time of the flight all change the total. Rather than quote a number that will be wrong tomorrow, Haqqi Tours checks the fare for the day you want to fly and sends it to you by WhatsApp before you decide.

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 Edinburgh to London flight is often not the one at the top of a search.

Cheapest flight from Edinburgh to London: how to pay less

The cheapest flight from Edinburgh to London is typically booked early, flown mid-week and chosen with the baggage you actually need. These are the rules our booking desk applies on every booking:

• Book early - low fare tiers open months ahead and sell first, especially for holidays
• Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are generally cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
• Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which often carry the lowest fares
• Tell us 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

When you complete the form, mention if you can move your dates. We scan the fares around them and send the cheapest Edinburgh to London flight first, then the alternatives.
