Flights from Edinburgh to Heathrow: the best tips from KAYAK users' own experiences

Insights shared by verified travellers who flew the route from Edinburgh to Heathrow 
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Aug 2026
Go early, as the lines were extremely long at baggage drop. Once you get through security, smooth sailing. If you have a connecting flight from Heathrow, follow the PURPLE signs to connecting flights; otherwise you'll exit security and have to claim your bags and check in again.
Verified travelerFlew with Finnair-Aug 2026
Give yourself time in London to get to connecting flights.
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Sep 2024
Be prepared for a full TSA check in even after having one to get to London.
DavidFlew with British Airways-Mar 2024
6:10 am departure. Got to the airport at 4am along with half of Edinburgh. Truly insane. Like, what does the airport do after 7am? Security looked horrific, but somehow it was efficient (without sacrificing attention to detail); we got through in 15 minutes Staffing was appropriate for volume and facility was adequate size for load. So…get there early. Like, really early. Avoid checking in at airport; precheck bags (or have none), have boarding pass prior to arrival.
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Jan 2024
Flying the whole route with BA makes Heathrow T5 very easy. Only one security check was required in Edinburgh. None at Heathrow. This is one benefit of flying BA. We were also able to use the BA lounges which made for more relaxing wait before our flights.
DerekFlew with British Airways-Feb 2024
If you have a second bag... This needs to fit under the seat in front, there isn't space for two overhead
