Try chilling around gate 7 nice and quiet - well some of the time
often long queues at security in the morning as they don't open all security lanes so arrive early!
John MullanJune 14, 2018Nothing to recommend it, one hour to access, collect traveller and get back on to A8. Traffic choked solid.
Michael BoltonFebruary 12, 2012More choice pre security not sure a seafood bar and yo sushi are my first choice of restaurants needed in the small terminal and it's £1 to drop off rising to £5 after 10 mins bit of a rip off
Rodrigo BarrosoOctober 10, 2016Scotland busiest airport, nice food places but lounges were always crowded
Bjorn The Social TravelerOctober 2, 2013Say hi to a world of people travelling around you. Be Social ;-)
omarAugust 14, 2012Despite the cute name, EDI security is ruthless. They made us move our liquids into tiny bags, all for the security theatre of it. Realize security may be slow
Christian TrFebruary 15, 2014From Princess Street to Edinburgh airport in 30 mins with Airlink bus... Simply awesome!
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!!
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.
Nero at gate 7 bakes its pastries fresh on site. You get them still got first thing.- 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.
Drop off shuttle includes the Hilton so can jump on or off on to save going inside airport
Looking for plugs? Head to the seating area on the far left just after the wetherspoon
Don't wear an airside pass when catching a flight as they aren't allowed to serve you alcohol with one. I learnt the hard way
Fast track security queue is often longer than the regular queue, save your money!
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.
Mauro DaneluzziAugust 17, 2014Modern airport, it was the first time that I see an electronic baggage boarding
Paul BruggerMay 30, 2013Tweet @FlightStatus with your flight number and receive real-time flight information :)
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
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.
Possibly the worlds worst airport. Security is slow and unorganised. Forced walk via duty free, more shopping mall than airport. Avoid if at all possible
Sebastian WiesingerSeptember 19, 2018There are no places to sit down before the security checkpoint except cafés/ restaurants. 😡
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.
My favourite airport. Lots of shops and places to buy food
Tiny airport compared to the other Uk airports, but who needs a big airport if a small one does the job
Tom GDecember 13, 2011Get the 35 bus uf you're skint but it takes 1hour to get there from bristo square...
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
John HydeOctober 23, 2014Pick up some whiskey for me! I like these small airports, not far between plane and car.
One of the most efficient airport security systems I've seen
- If you're going the LCY you can use the Fast Track lane.
Getting crowded these days. Head to a lounge if you can
If you're flying to LCY on BA CityFlyer, you can use the Fast Track security lane.
There's a water fountain On the left hand side as you exit security. So don't go and buy an expensive bottle of water, just refill the old one.
Passengers would really appreciate free wi-fi internet. Otherwise, you just feel you're in a tiny little airport from some tiny little town... And not edinburgh's. :-/

"Branston pickle flavoured cheese things are great!"
Calvin 
"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."
