WHAT AIRLINE TO FLY
British Airways is who we have used every time, their sister company is American Airlines. We really like them, and they offer a Non-Stop flight from San Diego to London. Unfortunately, there aren't any direct flights to Edinburgh from LAX either. Anyone coming from another state might find direct. British Airways also offers a Layaway plan that allows you to make a deposit on your trip, then make payments on it - you just have to have it paid off two weeks prior to departure. However, it does require you to book either a hotel or car with your flights in order to get that option. You just need to customize your trip on the website. You can book multiple countries and hotels in different cities. We are happy to help answer any questions you may have. Feel free to use any airline of your choosing we just wanted to let you know about the layaway plan. We find it helpful when your flights, hotel, and car, are on the same itinerary and already paid for when you arrive. Then all you need is spending money. This method is how we've been able to see 9 countries in 3 years. Here is the link. Have fun planning your trip.
