cantgetaname Posted October 10, 2021 #1 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Is there any non stop flights to Scotland from Rome? I'm only seeing flights with stops. I have a cruise to Rome next May and would like to make a stop in Scotland before flying home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare gnome12 Posted October 10, 2021 #2 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Do you really mean non-stop, or are you more concerned with direct flights (i.e. not having to change planes even if the plane stops somewhere on the way). I haven't looked at the details, but these websites show direct flights. Here is the list for Edinburgh Airport https://www.edinburghairport.com/flights/destinations and here is the list for Glasgow https://www.glasgowairport.com/destinations/all-destinations/ Not all destinations are currently being serviced, and the service may not be daily, but you should be able to get some ideas.

Cotswold Eagle Posted October 10, 2021 #3 Share Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) Jet2 fly Glasgow-Rome and Ryanair fly Edinburgh-Rome, but what dates are you looking? Schedules might not be back to pre-COVID levels yet and there be flights only on certain days. Edited October 10, 2021 by Cotswold Eagle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be quite unusual. Most itineraries will go via a hub - LHR for BA, AMS for KLM, FRA for Lufthansa, etc - and would require change of planes.

No, but I wanted to make sure that if they existed they would be acceptable to the OP. Since I didn’t look at the details from the website, I just wanted the distinction out there. I know personally that Alitalia, at least in 2001 when I flew with them, flew a triangular route Rome to Toronto to Milan to Rome. And many years ago I flew to Jamaica on another triangular route, to Ocho Rios with a stop in Kingston in one direction or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Harters Posted October 11, 2021 #6 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Cotswold Eagle - your posts 3 & 4 seem to be contradictory. In 3, you mention that Jet2 & Ryanair, both fly Scotland - Rome, presumably directly as their usual operation. I've never known either to usually fly indirectly (except I do know that Jet2 is currently doing it with some Canary Island flights, as a temporary emasure, while tourist numbers are still low) Yet in 4, you seem to suggest that a hub would be used needing a change of plane. Surely that might be the case for the national carriers you mention, but not for the two low cost airlines in 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyTheSaint Posted October 11, 2021 #7 Share Posted October 11, 2021 A quick search on a flight comparison website finds loads of direct flights from Rome to Glasgow and Edinburgh next May with Ryanair and Jet2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was contrasting this to the imaginary direct, but stopping, flights the other poster introduced to the thread! The OP had the information they requested and not come back for further details.

Also worth mentioning that Ryanair use Rome Ciampino, not the main Rome Fiumcino airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
