Cheap flights from Edinburgh to Gothenburg

The expensive stretch of the year is the destination's summer and the school holidays, when fares on this route climb. Work back from there and October stands out as the cheapest month in the price calendar. Late autumn and the months after Christmas are generally quieter on fares too. Book early if your dates fall around Christmas or Easter, when demand from both directions tightens up.

Ryanair leads on this route: Ryanair UK and Ryanair fly it as a low-cost direct service, and their fares typically cover little more than a small cabin bag, so baggage is an add-on. Scandinavian Airlines and Nordic Regional Airlines offer full-service options, usually with a checked bag included. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines connects through its hub, and British Airways and BA CityFlyer work with Cityjet on connecting routings. Norwegian and Norwegian International give you further low-cost alternatives, often with a stop.

You land at Landvetter, the airport serving Gothenburg, and it is a mid-sized field rather than a huge hub, so you are usually through baggage claim and outside without long waits. It sits outside the city, well away from the centre. Buses run from the terminal into town and tie in with flight arrivals; a taxi or rental car works if you are heading straight onward. Allow a comfortable margin for the road transfer when booking connections home.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check UK passport and entry requirements for Sweden before you book, including any rules that apply to your nationality.
• Confirm whether your fare includes checked baggage, especially with the low-cost carriers where it usually does not.
• If your itinerary is on separate tickets, check the connection time is long enough to be protected.
• This route departs from Edinburgh only, so no airport choice is needed on the outbound side.
• Compare direct flights against connecting ones across the month calendar, since the cheapest dates do not always match.
