Cheap flights from Inverness to Kirkwall

December tends to be the cheapest month to fly this route, while October and November often carry moderate fares before prices shift in spring. March through May sees more options as weather improves, though weekday departures generally stay steadier than weekend flights that fill quickly during school holidays.

Loganair Limited offers direct services on this short hop, with baggage usually included in the ticket price and seat selection available for an extra charge. Aer Lingus connects passengers through its network where a change may be required, and fare rules vary depending on whether you choose a flexible or basic option that limits changes.

Kirkwall airport is small enough that you can reach the terminal building quickly after landing, but transfers into town are limited to buses or taxis since the distance from the airfield to the centre takes roughly twenty minutes by road. Arriving in winter means preparing for shorter daylight hours and possible weather delays that affect ground transport schedules.

• Confirm which airport you depart from when booking tickets separately, as connections may require two different locations.
• Check whether your ticket includes checked baggage before arriving at the terminal, since low-cost fares often exclude it.
• Verify travel documents needed for domestic UK flights, even though both cities are in the same country.
• Look at seasonal patterns and expect fewer choices outside the main months listed on the price calendar.
