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.
