Question 1

Where should I fly to if I want to visit the Scottish Highlands?

Accepted Answer

Those looking to visit the beautiful Scottish Highlands should consider flying into Inverness Airport (INV), as it is the northernmost airport in the country and the closest to the Scottish Highlands. American Airlines and British Airways provide flights with layover to Inverness Airport from San Francisco.

Question 2

What are some common layover destinations on the route from San Francisco to Scotland?

Accepted Answer

As there are currently no direct flights from San Francisco to Scotland, you will have at least one layover on the trip. Delta, Virgin Atlantic, and KLM all offer flights to Edinburgh with a layover in New York (JFK). If you decide to fly to Glasgow, you can expect a layover in London (LGW, LHR) when you fly with either Iberia, American Airlines, or British Airways, or two layovers in New York and Amsterdam (AMS) when you fly with KLM. If you’re flying to Inverness with American Airlines, you’ll have layovers in either Charlotte (CLT) or Dallas (DFW) and another one in London before arriving in Inverness.
