Edinburgh Airport is located to the West of the city and is accessible via road only by taxi (£13-20) or Airbus (£3 single or £5 return). A proposed Edinburgh Airport Rail Link (EARL) is in the consultation process with the cost of a return just being announced as £7.50.
Once inside the terminal there are slightly more shops and food outlets before passport control. The queues at Passport Control are always annoyingly long so allow plenty time to get to your gate. Once through to the departure lounges the facilities are more than adequate. The newly introduced smoking ban means you cannot smoke anywhere within a terminal building or bus stops so be warned.
The airport is operated by BAA and is constantly evolving with the latest addition being a huge new control tower designed by Reid Architecture (these have also been commisioned to build a similar structure at Newcastle Airport). Additional departure gates are now open to the East of the main terminal (see new pics) and a new car park and passenger drop-off zone has just came into use.
The website has a live flight information page that is especially useful if you are collecting folk from the airport.

I flew to Edinburgh from Dublin on Ryanair. The trip is so short that betwen takeoff and landing I don't think you are in the air for more than 30-45 minutes. Using Ryanair is perfect for trips like this as with both Edinburgh and Dublin you fly into the main airports of the city and are then just a short bus ride away from the city centre. They also offer some of the cheapest flights around.
Since Ryanair is a 'no frills' airline it will cost you if you wish to buy a drink or snack onboard, but you can also bring on your own food if you wish to.
I have flown with Ryanir numerous times and have never been on a flight that was delayed, and I have found the staff to always be very friendly and helpful. Leave a Comment

We booked 2 months in advance with 'Easyjet' from Bristol International Airport to Edinburgh for a bargain 39 pounds return.
A train from Bristol takes 6 hours 15 minutes and costs around 70 - 120 pounds. (www.thetrainline.com, or phone National Rail enquiries: 08457 484950).
The coach takes about 11 hours and costs approximately 60 pounds return. (http://www.gobycoach.com, or phone: 08705 808080).
Fly if you can - it only takes 1 hour and 15 minutes from Bristol and you can just hop into a taxi to get to the centre of Edinburgh. Leave a Comment

just took my son to Edinburgh airport this afternoon (3 july)
no delays or problems, but cars cannot go to the front of the building to drop off or pick up (only buses & taxis); cars have to park in car parks, then occupants have to get out & walk 100 meters
people are being told to allow 1 hour extra for travel to the airport which is nonsense based on my experience; just means a lot of extra people in the terminal, so its crowded

To enjoy the sights and sounds of Edinburgh, take the 'Edinburgh Tour' open-top bus. Departs throughout the day from Waverley Bridge. They have headphones with commentary in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Japanese and Dutch.
Of course, as the city is not that big, it is easy to do everything on foot. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

Lothian Bus (the Airlink is bus number 100) runs between the airport and Waverly Bridge Station every 10 minutes.
Fare:£3.30 one-way, £5.00 open return.
It takes approx. 25 minutes.
In the city centre you can do everything on foot (don't underestimate the hills!), but there are good and regular bus services too. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

via Train (GNER) from London to enjoy the country (if you have 4.5 hours spare!)
via Plane (Edinburgh Airport)
via Bus (LRT) and of course 'per pedes' - Edinburgh City is always a nice area to walk!
Cars should be avoided in the City Centre!! Theme: Airplane

from Edinburgh airport it is best to hire a taxi, which will drive you to the city in about 20 minutes (avoid the rush hour, then travellingtime will be triple!) Leave a Comment
