Orlando - Edinburgh?

[Keygrip]

Hi, hope this should be here (if anywhere)..

Good friend (US Citizen) wants to travel from Orlando, Florida to Edinburgh on May 9th for a week.

Any suggestions for a US originating flight?

Three leg through Atlanta? Two leg through LGW?

Anything through the NorthEast? New York/Boston/whatever?

Hi,

How about CO ( Continental ) to NewarK (EWR) then the non stop flight to EDI ( I think it is daily).

There are also flights from EWR to Glasgow on Continental.

Thanks for that, TBS (was almost 'BS' till I thought a bit deeper).

Trouble is, I was only given half the story. Seems they already have tickets into LHR, arriving around 7am on the 10th, and just need the "overall best" - need not be quickest, need not be most expensive/cheapest - method of getting to Edinburgh.

They'll be coming back down again on May 15th for their morning of the 16th flights back to the Mouse House (Orlando).

Last time I was there, there was a company called "British Rail" - I'm a bit out of touch.

This fare cannot be purchased outside of the UK. The same flights cost GBP18 more if bought in America.

The E indicates that an e-ticket can be issued. Perhaps they can phone or get you to do it.

Your problem is that Sunday return which is rather full in the lowest discount classes.

Thank you - message passed.

All booked - many thanks to thefareguru.

A one day seminar at the Ministry of Planes and a bit of shopping in Tesco (and maybe a minibash in the hotel).

Two days should suffice - then back to the hurricanes.

I've going to have to check the dates though - seems too close to the weekend for the CAA to run a seminar.
