The return flight is longer at 7 hours 18 minutes due to prevailing winds. Connecting itineraries generally take 10 to 14 hours total.", "methodology": "Flight times and distances come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two airports, so the actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer.", "toolsUsed": [ "flight_schedule" ] }, "q3": { "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Edinburgh?", "answer": "From Edinburgh Airport, the tram and Airlink 100 express bus are the most popular ways to reach the city center, both taking about 25–30 minutes.

Car rentals are available on-site, but parking in the city can be difficult.
