A Little Red gets
you a long way

Edinburgh to
London flights

Daily flights from Edinburgh to London Heathrow

From April 2013, Edinburgh becomes part of our Virgin Atlantic Little Red network. Rather than connecting to London with another airline, passengers will be able to fly Virgin Atlantic from Edinburgh to London, and then onto a number of our top business and leisure destinations.

Which terminal?

Which terminal?

Our flights will depart from Edinburgh International Airport. They’ll arrive into London Heathrow Terminal 1, which is just a short bus ride from our long haul home at Terminal 3. Then catch a flight to a number of our longhaul destinations, such as USA, Canada, Asia and South Africa.
