Cheap flights from Edinburgh to Antalya

The weeks just before and after October often soften fares, and October is the month with the lowest fares in the calendar used here. Summer school holidays, Christmas and the destination's own summer push demand up, so shoulder periods outside them are easier. Midweek departures can be calmer than weekend ones, while Turkish public holidays and UK school breaks can tighten availability. Book early for school holiday dates; otherwise compare a few weeks before and after your preferred month.

The difference a traveller feels first is what the fare includes, not the airline name. On this route, some carriers sell no-frills tickets where bags, seats and meals are extras, while others include more in the fare, so compare the inclusions before judging the price. Direct flights exist, but other itineraries connect through hubs, and a connection can change the total journey time and the risk if a flight is delayed. The named airlines are Easyjet, Jet2, Sun Express, Pegasus, Norwegian, Norwegian International, Air France, Turkish Airlines, Emerald Airlines and Edelweiss Air. Check whether your chosen fare is direct or connecting and what it includes before you pay.

Getting into town is the first thing to plan after landing. Antalya Airport is the arrival point, and taxis, buses, trams and private shuttles are the usual options, with the ride feeling short or slow depending on traffic and whether you are heading into the city or a resort district. Have your transfer arranged before you land if you arrive late, and keep baggage receipts and documents handy. Watch for terminal signage and the correct baggage carousel, and allow extra time if your flight lands during a busy arrival wave.

• Check whether your outbound and return flights are on one ticket or separate tickets, because missed connections are your problem on separate bookings.
• Check which airport each leg uses, since Edinburgh has one airport but a connection can route through another city.
• Check cabin and checked baggage allowances for low-cost fares before you pay.
• Check passport and entry rules for Turkey and any visa or e-visa needs before departure.
• Check seasonal demand around school holidays and the destination's summer before choosing dates.
• Check that your transfer from the airport is arranged for your actual arrival terminal and time.
