Flights from Scotland to Brighton: the best tips from KAYAK users

Insights shared by verified travellers who flew the route from Scotland to Brighton 
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Aug 2026
Go early, as the lines were extremely long at baggage drop. Once you get through security, smooth sailing. If you have a connecting flight from Heathrow, follow the PURPLE signs to connecting flights; otherwise you'll exit security and have to claim your bags and check in again.

Give yourself time in London to get to connecting flights.

Slow security at Inverness and you walk out to the plane through the rain. No issue but worth knowing
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Sept 2024
Go to the airport early as the Security queues are almost always long, especially in the Summer months.

Pass on paying extra for business class unless you have an incredibly long layover then access to the club Lou he may be worth it

Be prepared for a full TSA check in even after having one to get to London.

6:10 am departure. Got to the airport at 4am along with half of Edinburgh. Truly insane. Like, what does the airport do after 7am? Security looked horrific, but somehow it was efficient (without sacrificing attention to detail); we got through in 15 minutes Staffing was appropriate for volume and facility was adequate size for load. So…get there early. Like, really early. Avoid checking in at airport; precheck bags (or have none), have boarding pass prior to arrival.

Flying the whole route with BA makes Heathrow T5 very easy. Only one security check was required in Edinburgh. None at Heathrow. This is one benefit of flying BA. We were also able to use the BA lounges which made for more relaxing wait before our flights.

If you have a second bag... This needs to fit under the seat in front, there isn't space for two overhead
