When Your Flight Arrives At Edinburgh Airport What Do You Do

By Dan Fischer

Worrying about what to do when you arrive at Edinburgh Airport can be stressful unless you take some simple precautions and plan ahead

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.

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 and could be a good place to meet.

If you are lucky enough to being collected by a friend then also 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

The rail station is in the city centre and does not connect with Edinburgh airport at present. There is a shuttle service into the centre of Edinburgh and surrounding area, which runs every ten to fifteen minutes. The bus service also has a frequent service and it also runs every ten to fifteen minutes with a journey time of twenty five to thirty minutes to the city centre. This is the cheapest option to getting to and from the city centre and Edinburgh airport.

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
