Booking Through EDI Across GDS Systems

The same availability check looks different depending on the GDS in front of you. Here's the pattern for a generic search into EDI, using EDI as the destination:

Amadeus:  AN15JULLHREDI
Sabre:    A15JUNLHREDI
Galileo:  A/15JUNLHREDI

Swap in the actual origin code and date for a live search — the structure (date, then city pair) stays the same across systems.

Distance & Flight Time from Other Major Hubs

Real, calculated straight-line distances (great-circle) and a rough nonstop flight-time estimate:

HubDistanceEst. Flight Time
LHR (London)534 km / 332 mi≈ 0.6h nonstop
JFK (New York)5,225 km / 3,247 mi≈ 6.1h nonstop
DXB (Dubai)5,777 km / 3,590 mi≈ 6.8h nonstop
SIN (Singapore)10,950 km / 6,804 mi≈ 12.9h nonstop
SYD (Sydney)16,889 km / 10,494 mi≈ 19.9h nonstop

Flight time is a rough estimate based on typical long-haul cruise speed — actual routing, wind, and aircraft type will change the real duration.

Connection Notes for EDI

London is the closest of the listed hubs to EDI, at roughly 0.6 hours nonstop, while Sydney is the furthest, at roughly 19.9 hours. When an itinerary routes a client through EDI as a connection point rather than a final destination, it's worth confirming minimum connection time directly with the airport or airline — this varies by terminal and by whether the connection involves a change of airline alliance.
