Travellers have found it’s best to book a flight 58 days in advance to save up to 37% compared to booking the same week of travel. As your travel date approaches, the cost of this flight route may potentially increase. While opting to book 58 days out may not be an option for all, there are still additional ways to secure a deal in the near future. You might find a flight from Shetland to Europe 1-2 weeks in advance for as low as £81, or £98 for flights within the next 24 hours.
Due to multiple factors, expect to potentially pay more when booking in December. For low rates, March can be a great choice for travel to Europe. Flights to Europe from Shetland in March are about £74 on average during March, but can be found for as low as £46.
At this time, Cheapflights has noticed price decreases for many domestic flights due to COVID-19. Travel is not necessarily recommended at this time, and flights may be prone to cancellation: please check with local authorities in both Shetland and Europe for travel alerts, and be sure to review the airline's cancellation policy and travel advisories before booking.
