Do you have any tips for my flight to Edinburgh?

  • Get your trip off to a wonderful start by being prepared. Pack the important stuff — like your passport, travel documents and any medications you need — first. After that, consider downloading some movies on your tablet for a sans-guilt binge session. Or, throw in that fantasy bestseller you’ve been eager to read. Lastly, a few healthy snacks and a good-quality neck pillow will go a long way to making the flight as comfy as possible.
  • There’s a lengthy list of items you shouldn’t pack in your carry-on baggage too. Flammables, sharps and explosives are strictly prohibited in the cabin — they often include box cutters, razor blades, flares and aerosol cans. Some sporting equipment, like baseball bats and tennis rackets, also generally can’t go in your hand luggage. Visit your airline’s website for details about what you can and can’t take on board.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an aircraft aren’t the place for a fashion show. Layer up in comfy clothes and pack a hoodie as it can get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Sneakers or enclosed, flat shoes are best for longer journeys.
  • Lessen your risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition which can be caused by sitting for extended periods, by regularly moving around the cabin. You can also do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat. If you’re at higher risk of developing DVT, consider wearing compression socks or tights.

How can I get a cheap last-minute flight to Edinburgh?
To pick up a cheap last-minute flight to Edinburgh, flexibility is important. If you can, have a bit of wiggle room with the dates you can fly. It will also help to leave your options open with your departure and arrival airports, choice of airline, flight times and layovers or stops.
Where can I learn more about changing or canceling my flight to Edinburgh?
Most flights are free to cancel within 24 hours of making the reservation. However, some flights are non-refundable, and you may receive a flight credit from the airline to use for a future booking. For more information, please visit our Customer Service Portal.
