Arriving at Edinburgh Airport like any airport can be a bit daunting if you have not done any quick research before your journey

Worrying about what to do and where to go when you disembark the aircraft can be very stressful arriving at any airport including Edinburgh. You need to get to your hotel or make your way to the rail station and you may be short of time or worried about being ripped off by a taxi driver. When you first get off the plane you simply follow the directions to passport control, luggage reclaim and through customs. After that you are on your own.

Manchester Airport and London Airports both have more than one terminal building and it can get confusing working out which one you should be at and how to get between them. Edinburgh airport has only one terminal building so at least you do not have to worry about that

If you are lucky enough to being collected by a friend then try to pre-arrange a suitable meeting point prior to your arrival. The airport has designated meeting points in the terminal building however it is probably advisable to get whoever is collecting you to suggest the best place to meet

With no rail connection to Edinburgh airport you could use Edinburgh shuttle bus service, which runs a regular service to and from the city centre and the main hotels. There is also a bus service (service Airlink 100) to the city centre every 10 to 15 minutes and takes around 20 to 25 minutes depending on the traffic. This service is cheaper but will not take you to your hotel unlike the shuttle bus.

As with all airports there is an airport taxi service and again like all airport taxi services they are not the cheapest. They do however offer convenient and quick journey times and can take you exactly where you want to go.

Car hire is available within the terminal building however it is recommended that you pre-book online prior to your arrival so you get the car you want and it is ready for your arrival. You can also better manage your budget knowing in advance what you have to pay. Having a car does provide a convenience not available with public transport.

Plan ahead and arrive at Edinburgh airport worry free by simply doing a quick check prior to your arrival.
