How do I decide? Some tips and tricks from our experience

Are you having trouble deciding on how to get to Stafford from Edinburgh? With 5 connections between 3 Train, Flight and Bus operators, it can be difficult to find the one ride that will make you happy. But we have some tips that can help you make the best informed decision. First of all, the best trip is always the one that meets all your needs, so make a list of all the things that you want from this journey and look for something that will satisfy all of them. Here we will go through some of the factors mostly commonly taken into consideration.

Look for the lowest price

Ticket price is usually the main concern: even if you can afford to pay more, why do it if there are cheaper options? Saving on the trip means that you can spend more on the vacation itself! Between Edinburgh and Stafford, you can pay as low as £41 with a Train from ScotRail.

Travel duration

Time is also an important factor. An earlier departure may allow you to see a beautiful sunset or relax before an important event. And remember, time is money, so paying more for a shorter trip may be well worth it. For longer distances, flights are without doubt the best options, but be mindful of airport times and possible delays: a high-speed train may end up cheaper and faster! Here the quicker option is definitely the Flight from EasyJet Airline: you will get to Stafford in just 1h 10m.

Comfort makes all the difference

You should always take into account what your personal travelling preferences are. Is one hand luggage enough, or are you trasporting more? Would you like to have a snack during the journey? Can you relax in a busy compartment, or do you need space for yourself? Even among the same mode of transportation, different companies will offer you varying levels of comfort and amenities. The main operators connecting Edinburgh and Stafford are EasyJet Airline, Aer Lingus and Ryanair, but be sure to check what they have to offer!

Save money with deals, and always compare

One last tip? Even if you live in Edinburgh and Stafford is your only destination, it may be wise to check the offers from and to nearby cities or, if you are flyng, nearby airports. Check the trips from Broomhouse or to Penkridge, and look at flights from Edinburgh Airport, and landing at Birmingham Airport.
