Summer is well and truly on its way and if you have yet to book a trip abroad, you are in luck as we've found the cheapest flights from Edinburgh Airport.
August is considered a peak time in the travel industry with both English, Welsh and Scottish schools on summer break, so naturally prices to tend to be high. However, a simple search on Skyskanner shows you the cheapest flights available right now.
It is no surprise that Ryanair are the front runner for the best price for flights, and while thousands of holidaymakers have been faced with cancellations and delays, Ryanair have experienced little disruption, despite strike action taking place. With Ryanair, only hand luggage is free - dimensions of 40x20x25cm, which is a standard rucksack or holdall, but there are nifty ways to pack to so you can avoid the extra charge and keep your flight cheap.
