Airfare to Scotland
Two of us are flying from US to Scotland in May. Trying to figure out the best time to get airfare in order to get a decent fare. Would like to fly directly into Glasgow or Edinburgh. We would be flying from the East Coast. Thanks!

Its really hard to say...the rules that used to apply to airfare pricing are now pretty much out the window. I would just keep checking every day b/c you really have a lot of time before then-just my 2 cents.

I agree with Ani. Anything goes these days. I got a great price RT to Edinburgh for May-June back in November in the British Air. In the past, seven months would have been too early to get a deal.
BTW, do you realize that (as far as I know) the only nonstop flights to Edinburgh from the USA are on Continental from Newark? So it would kind of limit your options -- you'd have a better chance if you're willing to change, say in London or even in Amsterdam (on KLM/NW, not really that far out of the way).
