Cheap flights from Edinburgh to Milan

Summer and the December holiday period are the expensive stretch; November is the cheapest month here. Work back from school holidays and Christmas to find lower fares, and compare midweek dates with weekends. Book early for peak travel, but check flexible dates if your plans allow.

Fares often include only the seat, with bags, seats and priority added later; direct flights exist, but connections add time and risk. Ryanair, Ryanair UK, Easyjet, EasyJet Europe, Vueling Airlines, Transavia France, Malta Air and Jet2 are generally low-cost; British Airways is full-service; Malta Airlines varies by fare. Check what each ticket includes before comparing totals.

Malpensa is the largest Milan airport and usually means a longer transfer; Linate is smaller and closer to the centre; Bergamo/Orio al Serio is smaller and farther out. Trains, buses and taxis connect all three, but check which terminal your flight uses. Watch for late arrivals and separate tickets, since a missed connection is your problem.
