Arriving On A Flight To Edinburgh Airport

By Dan Fischer

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 when 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 should 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 meeting someone then you could arrange to meet at a designated meeting point or ask the person that is meeting you to suggest a suitable place to meet. They are more likely to know the best place to meet to avoid any confusion and thus avoiding any extra unnecessary stress. The short stay car park is only a few minutes walk from the main terminal building.

There is no rail station at Edinburgh Airport however there is a low cost shuttle bus service into the Edinburgh city centre. The shuttle service runs every ten to fifteen minutes. There is also a regular bus service to the city centre as well and is the cheapest option of all. Just look for the coaches displaying the sign Airlink 100 to city centre, the journey time is only twenty five to thirty minutes depending on traffic.

There is the usual airport taxi service and like all airport taxi services they are not the most economical however they do provide the most convenient way to travel direct to any accommodation you may have booked or for other destinations when time is a major factor.

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.

Don't worry and take the stress out of your travel arrangements and arrive at Edinburgh stress free and plan ahead
