FAQs - booking Scotland flights

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

    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.

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

    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.

  • How can I make my flight from San Francisco to Scotland more comfortable?

    Since this is a long-haul flight, it might be worth upgrading your ticket to business class.

With an upgrade, you can access more legroom, better dining options, and more privacy, allowing you to get some rest during your long flight.

  • How can I make my flight to Scotland from San Francisco more sustainable?

    First off, consider flying with British Airways or Delta Air Lines, two of the most sustainable airlines operating this trip. Also, consider booking a flight with the least amount of layovers, which in this case is one layover. Finally, use public transport to and from the airport when possible and pack as light as you can.

This airport is a hub for United Airlines, SkyWest Airlines, Alaska Airlines, and more, and it serves not only San Francisco but also nearby cities like Oakland, Fremont, and Santa Rosa.
  • Those looking for the cheapest flights from San Francisco to Scotland will likely be flying aboard Virgin Atlantic and landing at Edinburgh Airport (EDI), one of the largest airports in Scotland. This flight typically requires a layover in New York at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK).
