London to Edinburgh pricing by aircraft
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, only UK-registered aircraft can operate this domestic route, which has tightened fleet availability and firmed up pricing.
