Package holiday / city break or flight only?

We would recommend considering a package holiday / city break to Italy.

Reason being, you’ll often get better value compared to a flight only.

Besides, the final price will be packaged together into one simple booking and include your flights, hotel, full baggage allowance, often transfers and ATOL protection.

And for the destinations where you have several airlines covering a particular route, it’s worth undergoing individual searches on each relevant website to see for yourself which would be better when it comes to dates, hotels and indeed prices.

This ensures you’ve exhausted all convenient options for yourself, and that you end up booking direct, avoiding any potentially untrustworthy travel companies.

The vast majority of the websites mentioned above are fantastic in terms of user friendliness – just tap in Edinburgh airport followed by your Italian destination and you’ll only be presented with dates that are available to book which makes the process so much easier.

That said, there are also good reasons for booking a flight only, for example if you want the extra flexibility in terms of where you stay with the likes of Airbnb or Booking.com.

Conclusion

As illustrated within this post, there are a wide range of Italian destinations you can fly directly to from Edinburgh airport at the moment.

Airlines operating these routes include Jet2, easyJet Ryanair and British Airways.

We’ve compiled this information using flight aggregator tools such as Google Flights, whilst cross-checking these flight schedules directly with the airlines and travel companies mentioned above.

To accomplish this to a high degree of accuracy, I’m regularly checking flight schedules and relevant news stories from a range of sources, and have great experience in doing so for many different routes.
