Sumburgh LSI
Sumburgh (LSI) is the only airport listed for the Shetland Islands. Cheap flights from Sumburgh depend on which of Edinburgh, Chisinau, London, Glasgow, Warsaw, Aberdeen, Amsterdam or Oslo you choose and on the dates you travel. Because there is no second airport in the area, the real choice is between routes, carriers and travel dates. The destination city may have more than one airport, so check the code on your booking before you pay. Allow extra time for the transfer at each end, and compare dated fares across the calendar rather than a single day.

Getting to the city
The quickest way into town is the transport you arrange before you land, because on-the-day options may be limited. Confirm your onward travel before you leave the terminal and build a buffer into your plan. Avoid tight connections, same-day onward flights and assuming another airport is nearby, since Sumburgh is the only one listed for the Shetland Islands.
