London/Edinburgh in Sept.
Me and the missus are thinking about a trip to London and Edinburgh in September for a 10-day vacation. Is this a good time to visit those spots? How about the weather? Still decent?<BR><BR>We are thinking of staying in London for a few days, Edinburgh for a few days, and then back to London for the flight home. Has anyone flown on Go-Fly from London to Edinburgh? Flights are really cheap! Looks like the way to go, but maybe you are of a different opinion. <BR><BR>Any help you might be able to offer would help immensely with our planning! Thanks in advance!

Go is one of the cheap no-frills airlines, no food served unless you pay for it etc. My son and daughter-in-law regularly use them to go from London to Belfast. With most of the budget companies the earlier you book the cheaper the fare.<BR>I prefer London in October but by September many of the tourists will have departed.

I use Go to fly up and down to London from Edinburgh regularly. Just be aware that it's London Stansted they use, which is to the North-East of the city ... still I find it worth having to get the train in and out of London for the good prices you get.<BR><BR>Jenny

I made the same trip last September (was in Edinburgh on 9/11) and the weather was wonderful. We flew into Londwon/Gatwick and spent 4 days in London - took the train to Edinburgh where we spent 3 days, then rented a vehicle and toured the Higlands for 6 days. We elected to fly home out of Glasgow, instead of wasting a day going back to London and it worked out very nicely.

Many thanks to all for sharing your advice and experiences. We travelled to London/Oxford a couple of years ago (with our two sons, one of their freinds, and the mother-in-law) in August and had a great time. This time it will just be the two of us so we will be a lot freer in terms of our planning. Again thanks.
