Not fan of Air Canada. Only two things they ever serve for in-flight food. Chicken or Pasta. I traveled many times with them , never heard about anything else from their mouth for food. I call them "cheap chicken pasta airline".

The eco-friendly airlines to Edinburgh are British Airways, Ryanair, and Finnair. Ryanair does encourage their customers to book direct flights, which takes less time to reach Edinburgh from London. Direct flights reduce the amount of carbon emissions to the environment. The airline also restricts the amount of luggage one can have on board. British Airways also does ensure their carbon footprint is reduced by using sustainable aviation fuels and incorporating carbon offset and removal projects. On the other hand, Finnair requests passengers to pre-order food to help them reduce aircraft weight, which leads to less fuel consumption. In addition, they encourage their clients to come with their own water bottles to avoid using disposable bottles, which result in unnecessary waste contributing to a high carbon footprint.
For sustainable travel from London to Edinburgh, choose to fly in the Economy Class, which is more eco-friendly than Business Class. It will help have more people on board and reduce the fuel combustion from different planes flying the same route. Also, pack light and book direct flights to Edinburgh with no stopovers to reduce the airline's total emissions. Studies show that regular take-offs and landings lead to 50% carbon emissions, which are harmful to the environment. But don't forget to choose an eco-friendly airline that operates in eco-friendly airports to reduce the environmental impacts. While onboard, choose a vegan diet and carry your reusable plastic items to help reduce your carbon footprint.
