Eat have great breakfast. Yo Sushi for for everything else. Bookshop is WAY overpriced but that’s not a surprise to anyone.
Hanna Victoria MörckAugust 7, 2019I managed to miss the bag drop-off whence in a hurry. Not so neatly planned. No big board to find your way. Otherwise nice.
John HydeOctober 23, 2014Pick up some whiskey for me! I like these small airports, not far between plane and car.
Greatly improved airport overall. Easyjet self-tagging for bag drop is shocking. No queue management whatsoever.
Paul BruggerMay 30, 2013Tweet @FlightStatus with your flight number and receive real-time flight information :)
Troy ParkinsJune 5, 2014If you get a William Wallace-era wooden bow & plastic arrows, be sure to check it. Because security here is very TSA-like and they'll think a "wee man" like this could take over a 757 with it!!
Janice CooperOctober 22, 2018I have 5 hours between arriving at EDI and catching my train to Durham. Is there anywhere in the airport where I can wait please
Best value food are the £1 sandwiches at Boots, can't go wrong!- Simon ParrackJune 8, 2015Make sure you leave extra time to get through the new security check. I have travelled through airport a few times in last six months and queues are getting worse and worse.
- The £1 drop off charge is a nice wee indicator of the contempt which this airport has for you :)
Christian TrFebruary 15, 2014From Princess Street to Edinburgh airport in 30 mins with Airlink bus... Simply awesome!
Mauro DaneluzziAugust 17, 2014Modern airport, it was the first time that I see an electronic baggage boarding
My favourite airport. Lots of shops and places to buy food- There's a new bus route straight from Glasgow to Edinburgh airport - very handy!
Greta ZeimetzMay 12, 2024Boarding gate is not provided until it is almost time to board. Everyone stares at the screen and then makes a mad dash to the gate.
EAT is the best value place for breakfast here. Prices same as their High St shops and good service. No rip offs. Only £1.40 for big cup of tea.
Sebastian W.September 19, 2018There are no places to sit down before the security checkpoint except cafés/ restaurants. 😡
Airport seems to get better and better, but security is chaotic as ever at the best of time
Bernardo da SilvaJune 25, 2013Not sure if it's just me but I got a burst of dung in my face as soon as I got off the aircraft.. Guess it's the manure.. A freshener at hand will help.
Rodrigo BarrosoOctober 10, 2016Scotland busiest airport, nice food places but lounges were always crowded
One of the most efficient airport security systems I've seen
daubergeFebruary 12, 2013Come early as the queue long as always. Pre pack your liquid will make thing easier..
If you're flying to LCY on BA CityFlyer, you can use the Fast Track security lane.
John MullanJune 14, 2018Nothing to recommend it, one hour to access, collect traveller and get back on to A8. Traffic choked solid.
Bogdan ZadorozhnyDecember 30, 2022Security has bizarre rules. They inspected my lighter, took my deodorant, and even went through the cards in my wallet (!!!). Unpleasant and strange experience.
EnergySys LimitedApril 6, 2012Just make sure you don't return to Jubilee Road after using free dropoff - take unnamed road back to Fairview avenue. Otherwise you get caught in the £1 to drive through scam. Read more
Every time I've flown from here it's been late in the day with a BA or EZY flight back to London. Never had a queue for security in all the times I've been here.
Getting crowded these days. Head to a lounge if you can
If flying BA and you have a smartphone. Use their app to check in online and download your boarding card.
Tiny airport compared to the other Uk airports, but who needs a big airport if a small one does the job
Cheapest way to the town centre is the bus no. 35 from stand 21. Remember exact change. Fastest is bus no. 100 from stand 19. It has a ticket stand.
Try chilling around gate 7 nice and quiet - well some of the time
Nero at gate 7 bakes its pastries fresh on site. You get them still got first thing.
If you're going the LCY you can use the Fast Track lane.
Don't pay for Boingo wireless!! £10 for a day. The Servisair lounge has free WiFi (with better signal), food, drink and alcohol and is £15 for 2 hours. Better value if you must use internet.
Much improved security and 2 hours free wifi with one time registration.

"This is the best airport experience I’ve had. I travel a medium amount. Listen to the staff and follow the well considered signage and prompts and you’ll sail through with everyone else."
Paul Lambie
"Perfect service. Wifi, power supply (usb also). Best way to go to old town from airport."
