Cheap flights from Edinburgh to Thira

The shoulder weeks surrounding October offer quieter skies and easier booking than peak periods. October itself stands as the cheapest month on this route, when you can usually secure lower fares before holiday traffic builds for November and December. Summer brings higher demand but also more frequency if your dates are flexible across weekdays rather than weekends.

Low-cost options include Easyjet and Jet2, which typically sell base fares that require extras checked separately. Full-service carriers such as British Airways, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Lufthansa, Aegean Airlines, Aer Lingus, BA CityFlyer, Emerald Airlines, Transavia France and others usually bundle checked baggage into their tickets. Direct flights on this route connect Edinburgh airport straight to Santorini without requiring a change.

Santorini airport sits roughly twenty kilometres from the centre near the main towns of the island. You will need to arrange ground transport in advance—either a transfer, rental vehicle or taxi service since options are limited late at night when flights arrive. Consider your accommodation location before choosing how you travel once you land.
