KAYAK’s top tips for finding a cheap flight from Los Angeles to Edinburgh

  • On the date you’re scheduled to fly to Edinburgh from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), you should reach the airport at least 2h before your flight is set to take off. Getting to the airport this early will enable you to navigate the traffic you’ll encounter while entering the airport and go through the airport’s tedious security checkpoints in time for your flight. Additionally, it will give you adequate time to check out the superb attractions at the airport.
  • If you’re an active military member or a family member of one, you can relax at LAX’s USO Lounge for free. Located across the roadways between Terminals 1 and 2, this military lounge features comfy seats, flat-screen TVs, clean washrooms, and friendly staff.

Getting to Scotland with no luggage (no medicine, no clothes and no club) on golf trip very disappointed

Getting to Scotland with no luggage (no medicine, no clothes and no club) on golf trip very disappointed

Crew was great! Food sub-bar, tepid & flavorless. No snack options on trans-atlantic flight. Premium Economy seats ok, leg rest wouldn’t stay in place.

Entertainment system did not function. USB ports did not function. Wi-Fi did not function. Terrible trifecta…

Luggage did not make it onto my plane. Business seats were economy with empty row seat. Just horrible experience. Why would the company allow for transfers that don’t give employees enough time to transfer luggages??

For an long range economy flight I feel more space and more meal options need to be offered for flights over 5 hours

It's a long flight and that is always difficult. I was comfortable and well. The movies available were great and the crew was good.

The business class layout of chairs was weired. You are sitting directly across stranger.,

The boarding process was a nightmare and though we were traveling business class, we were in Group 2 and the organization was terrible. The Business Class on this flight was crowded and did not feel clean and nice. Overall, I would not travel Business again on the American Airline flight through British Airways Not nearly special enough for the considerable cost .

not enough crew for business class and not great service as a result. underwhelmed overall

You cancelled my flight by email then made it very difficult to get in contact with you. Then put me in a flight with a long layover in Mexico returning to the wrong airport in uk. Mind blowing my stressful. I missed see my grand dad because of you.
