Cheap flights from Scotland to Canada from £135

The main departure airports on routes to Scotland from Canada are Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) and Vancouver International Airport (YVR). The latter is only about 4 miles from the city centre, taking just over 15min to drive. You can also travel on Vancouver rapid transit rail for a journey of about 30min. Toronto Pearson is about 7.5 miles, about a 20min drive, from the city centre. Alternatively, there is also a UP Express to the airport, taking roughly 25min. In Scotland, you’ll land at one of its two main airports. Edinburgh Turnhouse Airport (EDI) is about 8 miles and a 30min drive from the city centre. Glasgow International Airport (GLA) is also about 8 miles from Glasgow city centre, but you will make the journey in only about 20min by car. For public transport, you can catch the Line 26 bus, a journey that will take just under an hour.

Unfortunately, you won’t find any direct flights from Canada to Scotland, so your next best option is to book with airlines offering one-stop flights. Virgin Atlantic makes for a good choice, offering the majority of one-stop flights. You depart Toronto Pearson and stop over at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport (AMS) before finally landing at Glasgow International. Other options usually involve switching airlines en route. You can, for example, fly with Air Canada from Toronto Pearson International, transfer to Lufthansa at Frankfurt am Main Airport (FRA), and then continue to Edinburgh Airport. To leave from Vancouver Airport, book on Lufthansa, which will stop over at Frankfurt am Main and continue from there to Edinburgh Turnhouse.

You can choose between routes with one stopover en route and those with two or three. TAP Air Portugal leaves Toronto Pearson and flies to Lisbon Humberto Delgado Airport (LIS), changing to Ryanair to proceed to Edinburgh. A very common two-stopover flight leaves from Toronto Pearson Airport on Azores Airlines, flying overnight to Ponta Delgada Nordela Airport (PDL) on São Miguel island. Here you’ll change to Ryanair and continue to Lisbon before completing the journey at Edinburgh Turnhouse. Another two-stop route takes you by Air Canada from Vancouver Airport to Toronto Pearson. Here, you’ll transfer to TAP Air Portugal for your trans-Atlantic flight to Lisbon Humberto Delgado. A final change to Ryanair is required for the last leg to Edinburgh.

As a Canadian citizen, you will only need your passport to enter the UK for tourist reasons or on a short business trip. You can stay visa-free for up to six months. You just need to make sure that your passport will be valid for the duration of your stay and show proof of your accommodation arrangements on arrival.
