Exciting deals to Inverness, the gateway to Loch Ness and the stunning Scottish Highlands.
According to the Matrix Airfare Search by ITA Software, prices start at $706 (Regular Economy). If you choose American Airlines, you might find fares as low as $506 (Basic Economy) and $706 (Regular Economy).
The $706 fare from American / British Airways / Finnair / Iberia includes regular economy perks such as one checked bag and a standard carry-on.
Additionally, there’s a $506 Basic Economy / Economy Light fare from the same airlines. Here are some details about this fare:
- NO advance seat assignments allowed.
- NO checked bags included—costs are $75 for the first and $100 for a second.
- NO changes permitted.
- NO cancellations allowed—if canceled post the risk-free 24-hour period, the fare has no value for future travel.
- Note: Most online travel agencies may not clearly advertise these fares as BASIC ECONOMY.
An Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) will be required for entry into the United Kingdom starting January 8, 2025. The ETA costs £16 for a two-year validity. You won’t need one if you’re just transiting through the UK airside, but if you pass through border control, you’ll need it. Be cautious of unofficial sites that charge more than the £16 fee available directly from the UK Government.
