Do you have any tips for my flight to Edinburgh?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through airport security and enjoying Edinburgh in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
  • The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to remove.
  • The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Edinburgh?
A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your trip to Edinburgh a pleasure. Here are some handy tips for a swift journey past security:
  • Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There's a possibility that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.

Flights to Edinburgh

Edinburgh is Scotland's capital city and one of the most beautiful and historic cities in the United Kingdom. Situated on the shore of the Firth of the river Forth, Edinburgh is divided between a very charming old town area which dates back to the reformation era and a new town which is updated and modern. The old town has preserved much of its medieval street plan so walking around there is like stepping back into that bygone age and the New Town is predictably more up to date with modern architecture. The fashionable west end area attracts many visitors and is known as the city's cultural centre with its many arts venues. Notable people of Edinburgh include literary giants Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator and author of Sherlock Holmes and J.K. Rowling, who began the first Harry Potter in an Edinburgh coffee shop. Crowning this great city is the famous Edinburgh Castle, which has been sitting atop the extinct volcanic Castle Rock since the 12th Century.
