Signed up for the 2026 tour and wondering if people are finding the airline prices HIGH right now. Also, is it worth taking the bus from Edinburgh to Glasgow, to make the booking of flights easier? Other questions for those who've been on this rodeo before?

We’re doing the Best of Germany but going to Scotland the week before on our own. And yes, the flights are expensive and using google flights I’m not finding many options other than American Airlines for lower priced flights. BA looks reasonable until you add in the seat selection fee. The one pro about AA from the west coast is they stop in Philadelphia then nonstop to Edinburgh which means no Heathrow! The con is the flight is in the morning which means little or no ability to sleep for me.
And yes, I’m comparing flights into both Glasgow and Edinburgh.
Not taking this tour, but chiming in as someone who has flown into Edinburgh and taken the bus to Glasgow: It’s easy and fairly quick (just about an hour). The Citylink AIR is the route: https://www.citylink.co.uk/travelling-with-citylink/air/
Thanks to both of you for responding so quickly.
My partner and I will be on the Best of Scotland tour in May. I've already purchased our flights because Delta's Premium Select generally sells fast in the Detroit market and my partner's long legs have become spoiled. We're doing 2 back to back tours just as we did this year. I'm finding that similar flights in 2026 are actually $2,000 less next year for the two of us. It was much easier pushing "purchase"/
