Cheap flights Shetland-Islands to Edinburgh

The shoulder weeks around May often have lighter crowds before peak summer travel begins. May itself tends to be the cheapest month on this route as demand stays moderate. Weekday departures usually cost less than weekend flights, especially Tuesday and Wednesday mornings. Avoid booking during school holidays if you want lower fares.

Loganair Limited carries most passengers on this Scottish connection with a single carrier dominating schedules. Their fare includes standard checked baggage on full-service tickets bought through their website or agents. Extra fees apply for priority seating and additional luggage beyond the allowance stated in your confirmation. They operate only direct flights between Sumburgh and Edinburgh without partnerships requiring connections elsewhere.

Arriving late in the day means fewer ground transport options to reach central Edinburgh. Loganair Limited lands at Edinburgh Airport which sits roughly eight miles from the city centre. Buses run regularly through the evening while taxis wait outside arrivals throughout operating hours. Consider checking train schedules if you land after midnight since connections become limited.
