How to book this deal
Choose your dates
Late April, May and early June are stronger periods for the Faroe Islands than the colder winter months.
Check baggage
The selected fare appears with checked baggage included. Always confirm the baggage allowance before payment.
Plan the island properly
The flight is short, but the Faroes are weather-sensitive. A 6–7 night stay gives much better flexibility.
Prices and availability can change quickly. The lowest OTA fare was found from around £203 return. Confirm the final price, baggage allowance, operating airline, cancellation policy, airport times and entry requirements before booking.
A rare direct Faroe Islands deal from Edinburgh
Return flights from Edinburgh to the Faroe Islands are available from around £203 through selected OTAs.
The itinerary is especially attractive because it is direct both ways, with flight times of only around 1 hour 25 minutes each way.
The fare also appears with checked baggage included, which is a major plus for a destination where travellers are likely to pack outdoor clothing, layers and waterproof gear.
The Faroe Islands are not a cheap destination once you arrive, but this flight price makes the trip much easier to justify, especially for a 6–7 night itinerary.
The direct flight is the key value here. The Faroe Islands often
require awkward routings through Denmark or Iceland, so a short direct
flight from Edinburgh makes the trip much easier.
Add the checked baggage inclusion and this becomes a practical fare
for a real outdoor island trip, not just a cheap headline price.
The Faroe Islands are beautiful but not cheap. Travellers should
budget carefully for hotels, car rental, fuel, food and tours.
Weather can change quickly, so avoid making the trip too short. A
6–7 night stay is much better than a rushed weekend.
Best for: travellers who love dramatic landscapes, photography, road trips, hiking and unusual island destinations.
Less ideal for: travellers looking for warm weather, nightlife, beaches or a very cheap trip once on the ground.
Dino’s advice: publish it as a niche adventure deal, not a standard cheap holiday. The flight is excellent value, but the destination needs realistic budgeting.

Where to stay in the Faroe Islands: beautiful, but not cheap
Despite their small size, the Faroe Islands are actually quite well equipped when it comes to accommodation. You can find guesthouses, apartments, boutique stays and hotels, especially around Tórshavn, the capital and most convenient base for many travellers.
That said, this is still a Nordic destination, so accommodation prices are on the higher end. For a well-rated guesthouse or 3-star hotel in Tórshavn, expect prices to start from around £160 per night.
When travelling as a couple, that works out at approximately £80 per person per night. It is not a budget destination once you arrive, but staying in or near Tórshavn can make the trip much easier, especially if you want restaurants, supermarkets, fuel stations and day-trip access without being too isolated.
Personally, I would not choose accommodation in the Faroes only by price. Location matters a lot. The weather can change quickly, and driving distances may look short on the map but feel longer when visibility, wind or rain are not on your side.
For a first trip, Tórshavn is probably the safest and most practical base. If you plan to rent a car and explore more deeply, you can also compare stays in other areas, but make sure you check road access, parking, nearby food options and cancellation flexibility before booking.
Dino tip: the flight price is excellent, but the Faroe Islands should be planned as a proper nature trip, not a cheap weekend away. Budget carefully for accommodation, car rental, fuel, food and possible tours.
