Hi. Before booking I want to make sure that 3 hours will be enough time to connect through LHR from Edinburgh to San Diego on British Airways?
Choices right now: leave Edin. 7:05 am to LHR at 8:35, leave Edin. 8 a.m. to LHR at 9:25 a.m., or leave Edin. 9 a.m. to LHR at 10:30 a.m. San Diego flight is at 1:30 p.m.
If I take the 9 o'clock flight I have 3 hours at LHR before our flight to the US, but no back up flight if that flight is delayed for any reason. Are flights out of Edinburgh pretty reliable, or does the topography get foggy, etc?
We could take the 8 o'clock flight to be on the safe side, but given how full flights are these days, there's no guarantee we could get on the 9 a.m. flight if the 8 a.m. was canceled for any reason. Other option: fly out the night before and stay close to LHR, but that seems like a waste of a night in Edinburgh.
Thoughts? Many thanks!
