Cached-fare history: across 5 months, Nov is the cheapest for LIS → EDI. Best time to be there: May–Sep.
Fares bottom out in November around $135 and peak in August near $298 — a $163 spread across the 5 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes one stop and takes about 5 hours outbound, on a 3-night trip — ticketed under Vueling, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $135 for 1,966 km each way, that works out to about $34 per 1,000 km flown. That is below the $41 typical of short-haul fares here. Across the 5 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Edinburgh, this fare ranks 4th — 2.2× the $61 we hold from Barcelona. For context, the middle fare among the 11 routes of similar length we watch out of Lisbon is $133.

Across 5 months of cached-fare history, Nov 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 LIS → 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We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet.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 5 months of cached fares, Nov comes out lowest on this route. See /guides/what-moves-a-flight-price/ for what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from Lisbon to Edinburgh?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Vueling. Nonstop options exist on many dates at higher prices — check the live search for your exact dates.
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.
