Timothy John GarciaMarch 12, 2015Plenty of shops and cafes. Take the tram outside to get downtown within 25 minutes!
Try the lovely big massaging chairs in the departure lounge - you should never pass up the opportunity for a chair massage in my opinion.
HankAugust 19, 2017Total chaos. Signs incorrectly direct you (eg the international arrivals area 1 and 2, they both point out into the street when they are at opposite ends of the building).
Stephen MorganMay 14, 2012Grab the express bus into town. It's quick and only £3.50. A cab will set you back £20.
Michael BrowningDecember 30, 2020Incredibly illogically laid out, made to walk miles for what should be shortest of journeys. Overly commercialised, inadequate seating. Dictatorial staff. Dreadful security area. Worst airport in UK
Brisa LimaAugust 20, 2013Dont leave the place without trying the delicious scottish biscuits! Nero has a great coffee!
Brandon KirklenOctober 18, 2016Scottish security is the best. So easy to get through. And I'm saying this even after they searched my backpack.
eDreamsApril 16, 2012If you're travelling with unprocessed film, you should know they can be safely examined by x-ray machines without suffering ill effects.(It was previously advised to check them in).
Stuart ChapmanDecember 7, 2013Looking for that valuable power source to charge your phone? Cafe Nero in the middle of departures have plenty of sockets.
Troy ParkinsJune 5, 2014Take the new "metro tram" to downtown Edinburgh. Only 5£ for the entire trip (end to end).
There is nothing good at all about this airport. If you use it once you probably won’t notice if you use it regularly you’ll quickly despise it!
Laura BuechelerDecember 16, 2014Very modern with good connection to Glasgow and Edinburgh via tram or busses
Chris WillardNovember 14, 2014The check in only open 2 hours before your flight so do go in super early.
Bjorn The Social TravelerOctober 2, 2013Say hi to a world of people travelling around you. Be Social ;-)
Early flight into EDI? Grab a coffee before leaving to collect your bag to save queuing at the Costa in arrivals. Is worth the wait though. Fast service
steglobalOctober 5, 2013AIRLINK coach is the best and only option to consider to get into the city centre (30mins). £6 for return trip, free wifi onboard the coach and plug sockets to charge your phone too. Perfect.
Sam GrimleyJune 12, 2013£3:50 single into town with free wifi on the Air Link. Can't complain at all, amazed there is a taxi rank
Ciaran QuinnFebruary 16, 2013Good prices on Whisky...better than in town. Reference price of Johnny Walker Blue Label £200 /l or €162/70cl.
Once again, no trolleys available in the Domestic Arrival section of EDI. How hard is it to have sufficient trolleys for heavily laden travellers?
There is some good shopping airside, world duty free, mac, Kurtz Geiger, boots, dixons.- Domestic arrivals is probably the worst you will find in the UK. First you have to fight your way through the entire departure lounge, then 3 flights of stairs - no escalators.
Have ever seen a more ridiculous security check? They have totalled over engineered it which make it actually slower.
Catriona MacArthurMarch 10, 2014use your receipt info to fill in an online survey at EAT and get a free hot drink. win!- Stuart ChristieJune 16, 2022make sure you have plenty money if you are taking your car as the pickup and drop off charges are attrocious. £4 for 10 minutes to drop someone off..unless they can do a ten minute walk
Kaan GucluerNovember 26, 2016Çocuklar için yapılan oyun parkını fikrini beğendim.. I like the idea of having a kids play ground
emmanuel alexAugust 2, 2015City link bus every 30mins to and from central Glasgow directly outside main terminal- good service.
Body scanners now actively seeking out Middle Aged white business men to balance out their profiling of young Asian men. Quite amusing.
EnzuigirlyJune 14, 2013Airlink is the quickest way into town for £6 return but normal Lothian Buses although not as frequent are only £3 for a whole day of use and give you the ability to travel all over Edinburgh
Marcel PalacioJune 3, 2013One of the few airports visited that still have free WiFi!!! 2 hrs is more than enough!!!
Looking for plugs? Head to the seating area on the far left just after the wetherspoon
- Domestic arrivals is the worst you will find in the UK. You have to fight your way through the entire departure lounge, then 3 flights of stairs no escalators.
Peter HastingsAugust 28, 2018When I went the self service check in kiosks weren’t working so was then under stress to get checked in time for boarding.
Asraf Hanafi SpearsFebruary 14, 2017They have a bus and tram service running from the airport itself to the city of Edinburgh as low as £4- Edinburgh Airport makes flying a truly miserable experience whether you are arriving or departing, it’s all equally bad.
Joy KellettJune 1, 2011Airline service to the city centre is amazing! Always two waiting outside the airport, leave every few minutes and only 6 pounds return!
The security staff are so rude; definitely in need of training in interpersonal and communication skills. They created a real sour end to our trip to Scotland.
Eat have great breakfast. Yo Sushi for for everything else. Bookshop is WAY overpriced but that’s not a surprise to anyone.
Michael GrantDecember 1, 2014Two hours free WiFi. Reasonable selection of places for food and drink.
Drop off shuttle includes the Hilton so can jump on or off on to save going inside airport

"Branston pickle flavoured cheese things are great!"
Calvin 
"Arrive with plenty of time for security. It's not big and if there's a couple of big flights you can easily be in there for 30 mins plus."
stuart vernor
"Perfect service. Wifi, power supply (usb also). Best way to go to old town from airport."
