Connect Galicia with Edinburgh for less than you'd expect. With Ryanair you'll pay from €166 return, with one stop. The median sits around €174, so these prices are competitive.
Price and when to book your flight
From €166 you get a return ticket. Prices in the sample (€166, €174, €177) are tight, a sign that availability is limited. Book now if you spot a fare you like: we checked on 22 October and this range rarely holds for more than a few days. Don't wait until the week before; Ryanair's prices climb as the date approaches.
Airline and stops
Fly with Ryanair, the sole operator on this route from SCQ to EDI. You'll have one stop on the outbound (it's not direct), so add 3 to 5 hours to your total travel time. The return has a stop too. It's standard for this connection: there's no direct alternative.
Best time to visit Edinburgh
November (like the example, 15–20 November) is solid: late autumn, fewer crowds than summer and lower fares. Winter (December–February) is cold and has short daylight, but Christmas lights and New Year festivities draw visitors. Spring (April–May) and late August are also good if you want milder weather.
What to do in Edinburgh
Edinburgh Castle sits on a hill overlooking the city; the Royal Mile links the castle to Holyrood Palace; ghost and history tours are popular. Stroll Princes Street Gardens, climb extinct volcano Arthur's Seat for 360° views. Neighbourhoods like Leith (harbour with restaurants) and Stockbridge (bohemian vibe) are worth exploring. The city is compact: most sights are walkable.
