Dingle to Edinburgh

Can you offer suggestions on the best way to get from Dingle Ireland to Edinburgh Scotland. Ferry, plane?

It looks like Aer Lingus flies non stop to Edinburgh. Saw a flight for this month for $137 on Expedia. And it's an hour and a half flight. The drive via the ferry to Larne is minimum 11 hours straight driving. It's about 2 and 1/4 hours Dingle to Shannon. It's fours to the Dublin airport and the cheapest ticket was $161. Although, this surprises me as I used to see cheap flights to Ireland on Ryan Air, but that's probably from a different airport. If it were me, I'd do Shannon. : ) But maybe someone has actually done the trip.... Pam

As Pamela said, Aer Lingus flies non-stop from Shannon to Edinburgh. Both Aer Lingus and Ryanair fly non-stop from Dublin to Edinburgh. Unless you'll be visiting Dublin right before going to Edinburgh, fly out of Shannon.

Kerry Country airport is much closer to Dingle - 57km vs 175 km. Aer Lingus has flights from there to Edinburgh with a change in Dublin. Depending on how you are travelling from Dingle to the airport Kerry might be the better choice.
