Flying with children, families and groups from London to Edinburgh

Three things to know about the flight from London to Edinburgh with children: infants under two fly on a lap, children get their own seat and generally 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 National Museum of Scotland, the Royal Yacht Britannia at Leith and the Scotch Whisky Experience, then the Forth Bridges and Rosslyn Chapel. 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 London to Edinburgh

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. On the flight from London to Edinburgh, seasons show in fares more than in schedules: holiday departures fill first, so we recommend booking early for summer, Christmas, New Year, Eid and Easter journeys.

Return flight from Edinburgh to London

Coming back? Say so on the form. A return flight ticket from Edinburgh to London booked with the outbound is often cheaper than two separate bookings, and it keeps the trip on one WhatsApp thread with one point of contact.

How much is a flight from London to Edinburgh?

The cost of a flight from London to Edinburgh depends on the date, the time of day, the carrier, the fare class and how far ahead you book. Airlines sell seats in tiers that rise as the plane fills, so the same seat can cost several times more on a holiday weekend than on a quiet Tuesday. That is why Haqqi Tours does not print a price on this page: we verify the live fares for your exact date across every airline on the route and send you the real cost by WhatsApp, with the options side by side.

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

Cheapest flight from London to Edinburgh: how to pay less

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

• Book early - low fare tiers open months ahead and sell first, especially for holidays
• Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are normally 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

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

Departure: London Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton or City (LHR / LGW / STN / LTN / LCY)

Your journey starts at London Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton or City (LHR / LGW / STN / LTN / LCY). 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 Elizabeth line and Heathrow Express, the Gatwick Express, the Stansted Express and the Luton train are all fast to a central station; from there the Tube with suitcases means stairs, gaps and crowds, and Wembley, Windsor or an Oxford Street hotel each add a change, which is why families and groups book a car from the terminal door.

• Haqqi Tours offers a private transfer from your accommodation in London to London Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton or City
• Just ask about the terminal and fast-track options at London Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton or City
• Arrive about 2 hours before an international departure, 90 minutes before a domestic one
• Online check-in opens 24-48 hours before; we send the link and the booking reference

Arrival: Edinburgh Airport (EDI) and getting into Edinburgh

Arrival is at Edinburgh Airport (EDI), and the first decision is how to reach the city. 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. We provide airport transfers in Edinburgh with a driver at arrivals, and we also tell you honestly if the train or metro from the airport is the better choice for where you are staying.

Onward flights or trains from Edinburgh the same day can be added to the booking; let us know and we choose a London to Edinburgh departure that leaves a safe connection.

Baggage, seats and classes on the London to Edinburgh flight

Before you compare the London to Edinburgh 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 provides 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.

• 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
• 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
