As little as ten years ago, Edinburgh's international route network was little more than a few feeder links into the main European hubs such as Paris and Amsterdam. The huge growth of no-frills airlines, combined with Edinburgh's rising importance as a magnet for tourism, finance and government business, has seen new routes open up to a massive range of business and leisure destinations. This has been further boosted by government sponsored route development funds. If you are unable to find a direct flight from Edinburgh, then plenty of well-established options for connections are still available, although you might also find that direct links are available from nearby Glasgow International (e.g. Berlin, Reykjavik), Glasgow Prestwick (e.g. Gothenburg) or even Newcastle (e.g. Dusseldorf). Another useful alternative is to fly to one of the major European air-rail interchange airports (e.g. Amsterdam, Paris Charles De Gaulle, Cologne, Frankfurt), rather than go through the hassle of making a connecting flight.
