More flights tips
- We would always recommend looking out for special offers on the trains before confirming any flights. Services operated by GNER on the East Coast mainline are fast and reliable by UK standards, and Virgin's much maligned West Coast mainline services have recently undergone massive improvements following upgrades to both the trains and the tracks. The cheapest one-way train fares between major English cities and Scotland can cost little more than the taxes and charges you will pay on your flights. City centre to city centre journey times are not that much more than flying, especially when compared with using “out-of-town” airports such as London Stansted and Glasgow Prestwick. Book well in advance to get the best deals. [by James Avery; Flightmapping.com - 01/05/2006]
- One of the most expensive times for flights to Edinburgh (and to a lesser extent Glasgow) is during Christmas and New Year. Edinburgh’s Hogmanay celebrations rank among the biggest and most spectacular New Year parties in the world, so demand for flights to the region is extremely high. We would strongly advise booking well ahead for the best deals. [by James Avery; Flightmapping.com - 01/05/2006]
- Many airlines provide similar a schedule into both Edinburgh and Glasgow airports, especially on domestic routes. However, fluctuations in demand can sometimes make flights to either city a little bit more expensive. In our experience, it is rarely worth taking a cheaper flight to one city if you are going to end up transferring to the other - the cost and inconvenience of doing this rapidly burns up the original time-saving advantage of choosing to fly in the first place. If you are intending to visit both, then it is certainly worth checking out how the prices vary between the two, but we have noticed that some airlines, especially Flybe, will charge more if you book two separate one way journeys (e.g. out from Birmingham to Edinburgh, back from Glasgow) than they will if you book a return ticket, even though they claim to offer a one-way pricing model.

- For onward travel outside the Scottish central belt, it might be worth bearing in mind that any passengers travelling through Prestwick airport can get half price train travel to any other destination within Scotland. [by James Avery; Flightmapping.com - 07/06/2006]
