New York: €330/£297 Nonstop Delta Air Lines Flights from Edinburgh (Cabin Bags Only)

New York

SkyTeam member Delta Air Lines resumes its service to many European cities following the supposed end of the Covid-19 disruption. The comeback of their flights from Atlanta to Edinburgh goes nicely with their drastically reduced tickets from Scotland to New York, as nonstop flights are available for as little as €331 (~£289) without checked bags. The cheapest fare including checked bags is €442 (~£386) on KLM’s website, where the cheap tickets are sold.

Our availability calendar highlights all possible flight dates at the lowest price for trips up to 28 days. It will forward you to KLM with your preselected flight dates. You can also check what OTAs have to offer, as they sell these tickets up to €15 cheaper.

Delta Air Lines uses a Boeing 767-300ER on these flights. While these are not the newest planes, their 2-3-2 seating pattern in Economy Class makes for a more intimate and less crowded flight experience than more modern long-haul planes.

Search & Book

Sadly, we were not able to retrieve any fare rules for these tickets. You can find flights at the lowest fare for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday departures between the end of October 2022 and March 2023.

We recommend booking directly with a SkyTeam member like KLM. The possible savings of booking with an OTA are not worth the potential trouble in this case. If you wish to travel for longer than 28 days, feel free to check out the availability on Google Flights. Otherwise, it’ll be easiest to use our calendar above.

Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?

More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:

Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.

If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.

This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.

Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.

This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.

Information & Tips for USA

The United States offers a wide range of tourist sights, from national parks like Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon to cities such as New York, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C. The currency is the U.S. dollar (USD), and card payments are widely accepted. Prices vary by region but can be high in major cities, especially for accommodation and dining. Weather differs greatly across the country—winters can be harsh in the north, while the south often stays mild; summers are generally hot and humid in many areas.

The U.S. transport infrastructure is highly car-dependent, especially outside major cities. Urban centres like New York, Chicago, and San Francisco have functional public transit, but many other cities have limited options. Between cities, domestic flights are common for long distances, while intercity buses and Amtrak trains cover some routes, though often with slower speeds and less frequency compared to other countries. Without a car, getting around can be inconvenient in many parts of the country.
