Cheap flights from Edinburgh to Luxor

Fares tend to be higher during the peak winter period and around New Year when demand rises for warm weather destinations, while spring also sees steady travel volumes. The most affordable time to fly is in February, which is the cheapest month on this route due to lower seasonal demand outside the holiday rush. You can find available prices spanning from October through April, giving you a wide window to choose dates that avoid the expensive stretches of the year.

The schedule features a clear mix between budget carriers and traditional full-service airlines depending on your preference for price or comfort. Low-cost operators like Pegasus, Easyjet and Edelweiss Air offer base fares that keep costs down, though you should check extra charges for baggage and seat selection. Full-service choices include Lufthansa, Turkish Airlines, Qatar Airways and Lufthansa City Airlines, which typically include checked luggage and provide better support during long connections through their hubs. Air France is also available with a standard European network that connects passengers via Paris.

You will arrive at Luxor International Airport, located just a short drive from the city centre near the riverfront. Before you land, it is wise to arrange your ground transport since options are fewer than in Cairo and traffic can be unpredictable during busy times. Taxis operate outside the terminal for direct trips into town or your hotel, and pre-booking a pickup often saves time when you arrive after a long flight with connections. The terminal itself is compact and straightforward to navigate once you clear immigration.
