Fare seasonality

When this route gets cheap.

Fares bottom out in December around $92 and peak in October near $264, 187% dearer, across the 4 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 Ryanair, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $92 for 1,966 km each way, that works out to about $23 per 1,000 km flown. That is well under the $41 per 1,000 km that short-haul fares on this board typically run. Across the 5 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Edinburgh, this fare ranks 3rd — 2.0× the $47 we hold from Barcelona. That puts it in the cheaper half of the 11 routes of similar length we watch out of Lisbon, where the middle fare is $121. The best time to be in Edinburgh: May–Sep.

Good to know

LIS → EDI, answered.

Is $92 a good price for Lisbon to Edinburgh?

Yes — the seasonal median for this route is around $235 round-trip. At $92 you're 61% below that, which we rate exceptional for this route.

What is the cheapest month to fly from Lisbon to Edinburgh?

Across 4 months of cached-fare history, Dec 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We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet.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 4 months of cached fares, Dec comes out lowest on this route. Our guide Why flight prices change covers what does move a fare.

Are there nonstop flights from Lisbon to Edinburgh?

The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Ryanair. We hold no nonstop fare on this route right now, which does not mean none flies — search your exact dates to see what does.

Are these prices guaranteed?

No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on 17 October). 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.
