The new route from Edinburgh to Billund will start in April 2026. Flights will operate three times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

The flight time between the cities will be one and a half hours. The cheapest tickets will be available from May, starting at £55.

“The direct route will make it easier for Danes to enjoy the history, culture, cuisine, and stunning landscapes of Edinburgh and the Scottish Highlands — an unforgettable travel experience,” said Magnus Tome Maursund, Commercial Director of Norwegian.

This new route is part of Norwegian Airlines' expansion: the number of flights from Billund to other cities will increase from five to fifteen. New destinations include Barcelona, Rome, Nice, Porto, and Malta.

The UK already has flights between Billund and London (Gatwick).

Billund has become popular among Britons thanks to the first Legoland, which opened in 1968, significantly impacting the significance of this town.

When the Lego Group decided to build its own runway, they realized this project in 1961.

In 1964, the airfield was expanded, and management was transferred to a new company, named Billund Airport.

Travel Manager (Digital Technologies), Carolina McGuire, recently visited Legoland in Billund and shared her impressions:

“Before the visit, I thought a whole day at Lego might be boring, but I was completely wrong. Your imagination inspires you to play at every turn, and everywhere I looked, I saw adults interacting with the child inside.”

“Lego House shows visitors everything — from the history of bricks and how they are made to the best methods for building a race car.”

“In September, a new Master Academy was also opened, inspired by the global TV phenomenon Lego Masters, where visitors can learn to build like pros in a studio environment.”

Carolina also advises not to miss the town of Billund, which is easy to explore from Legoland, as it is walkable.

A one-day ticket to the Lego House costs £28 per person, while a combined ticket for the Lego House and Legoland starts at £72 per person.

Accommodation at Legoland Hotel starts from £157 per night for two adults and two children, including breakfast.

New flights will make it even more accessible, which will undoubtedly please families planning to visit the amusement park and enjoy city life. This development will certainly contribute to the growth of tourism in the region.
