London to Edinburgh price estimate
Prices vary with the season, how far in advance you book, and whether the aircraft is already positioned nearby. Short-notice bookings can shift the price in either direction depending on what's available that day. Post-Brexit cabotage rules mean only UK-registered ("G-reg") aircraft can legally operate this domestic route — a restriction confirmed across UK charter industry reporting, including PrivateFly and LunaJets — which has tightened fleet availability and firmed up pricing.
