Travel & Visas

ETA (Permission to enter the UK)

To enter the United Kingdom, you need a permit called an ETA (it is not a visa).
It is very easy to apply online and costs £16 (approximately $400 MXN).
We recommend applying at least 3 weeks before your trip.

Flight Tips & Connections

Always book a return flight (outbound and inbound in one purchase), as it is usually cheaper.
Flying midweek (Tuesday to Thursday) is often more affordable.
Make sure you select Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom (do not confuse it with Edinburg in the USA).
Many routes include layovers in major European hubs such as Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfurt or London.
Some routes may connect through U.S. cities (New York, Boston, Chicago, or Atlanta). Please note that a valid U.S. visa or ESTA is required for transit.
We recommend connecting through Amsterdam Airport Schiphol — it is a very smooth airport, quick to navigate, and very well organised.
Most flights have layovers; we recommend allowing at least 3 hours between flights.
Common airlines flying to Edinburgh include British Airways, KLM, Air France, Lufthansa, Ryanair and easyJet.
Low-cost airlines may not include cabin baggage, so please check baggage policies before booking.
For the best prices, book 4 to 7 months before your trip.
Setting price alerts (Google Flights or Skyscanner) can help you find better deals.
You may find better prices flying into Glasgow and travelling to Edinburgh (around 1 hour).
We recommend arriving at least one day before the wedding to allow time to settle in.
