How long is flight from Edinburgh to Italy?
Hi! Well, it depends from which part of Italy. I'm from Milan and I've been once to Edinburgh: the flight took about 2 hours 1/2. But Milan is in the North, so flying to Rome should take some 30-40 minutes more, while flying to Sicily (southmost part of Italy) will take you up to 1 hour 1/2 more!
Hope it can help!
Cheers!
Claudio
