Cached-fare history: across 4 months, Sep is the cheapest for CPH → EDI. Best time to be there: May–Sep.
Fares bottom out in September around $72 and peak in December near $207 — a $135 spread across the 4 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking flies Ryanair nonstop and takes about 2 hours outbound, on a 3-night trip. At $72 for 983 km each way, that works out to about $37 per 1,000 km flown. That is below the $41 typical of short-haul fares here. Of the 6 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Edinburgh, this is the cheapest right now — 20% under the next one, Paris. That puts it in the cheaper half of the 7 routes of similar length we watch out of Copenhagen, where the middle fare is $72.

CPH → EDI, answered.
Is $72 a good price for Copenhagen to Edinburgh?
Yes — the seasonal median for this route is around $125 round-trip. At $72 you're 42% below that, saving about $53, which we rate rare for this route.
What is the cheapest month to fly from Copenhagen to Edinburgh?
Across 4 months of cached-fare history, Sep comes out cheapest on this route. The best months to actually be in Edinburgh are May–Sep — when those overlap, that's your window.
How far in advance should I book CPH → Edinburgh?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet. Answering it honestly means watching the same departure date on this route over many weeks as it approaches, and that archive is still filling up — so any "book N days ahead" figure here would be borrowed from somewhere else rather than measured. What we can measure is which month is cheap: across 4 months of cached fares, Sep comes out lowest on this route. See /guides/what-moves-a-flight-price/ for what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from Copenhagen to Edinburgh?
Yes — the current board includes nonstop fares (Ryanair). The outbound leg runs around 2 hours.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on September 1). Airlines reprice constantly, so the booking search re-checks the live price before you pay. Fresher finds are far more likely to still be available.
