Aer Lingus occasionally services the route with a stop in Dublin that can also range from 1h 30min to 8h 30min, impacting flight times accordingly.

Air Baltic also services this route with two stops that will see you reach Edinburgh after roughly 12h 30min of flying time.

With the Gatwick to Scotland flight route being so well-serviced by short direct flights, the chances of booking a flight with layovers would depend mostly on the urgency of travel. If you find yourself needing to book a flight with a stopover you will notice the majority of the flights servicing this route use Dublin as the primary layover city. This applies to Aer Lingus and Ryanair and the combo flights they share with easyJet. You can choose flights that offer short layover times such as 1h 30min or much longer ones that can stretch up to ten hours, offering you a chance to see some of the city. Alternative layover options are much shorter, such as Barcelona on the Iberia Air flight, which will only see you stopping for approximately 2h 10min. Another flight option with stopovers is the Air Baltic route, which will see you stop in Riga for roughly 2h 30min and then Amsterdam for about 3h 30min before taking off again for Edinburgh.
