Those looking to visit the beautiful Scottish Highlands should consider flying into Inverness Airport (INV), as it is the northernmost airport in the country and the closest to the Scottish Highlands. American Airlines and British Airways provide flights with layover to Inverness Airport from San Francisco.

As there are currently no direct flights from San Francisco to Scotland, you will have at least one layover on the trip. Delta, Virgin Atlantic, and KLM all offer flights to Edinburgh with a layover in New York (JFK). If you decide to fly to Glasgow, you can expect a layover in London (LGW, LHR) when you fly with either Iberia, American Airlines, or British Airways, or two layovers in New York and Amsterdam (AMS) when you fly with KLM. If you’re flying to Inverness with American Airlines, you’ll have layovers in either Charlotte (CLT) or Dallas (DFW) and another one in London before arriving in Inverness.

Since this is a long-haul flight, it might be worth upgrading your ticket to business class. Some airlines, like American Airlines, offer discounted upgrades to business class after you book your original ticket. With an upgrade, you can access more legroom, better dining options, and more privacy, allowing you to get some rest during your long flight.

First off, consider flying with British Airways or Delta Air Lines, two of the most sustainable airlines operating this trip. Also, consider booking a flight with the least amount of layovers, which in this case is one layover. Finally, use public transport to and from the airport when possible and pack as light as you can.
