Price for a flight from Edinburgh to New York (EDI)

If you are flying to JFK, several major airlines offer direct flights. However, if you’re looking for a cheaper flight to New York, you’ll likely need to book a flight with at least one transfer. The price of airline tickets to New York varies by season. If you book in advance and avoid travelling during busier months, you can find return tickets from Edinburgh airport for around £500. Flexibility is also a key to saving money on flights.

The most expensive periods in New York are the summer months and the end of the year (including the holiday season, which includes Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve). To get the best rates, I advise booking your flight at least 6 months in advance.
