Traveled through twice. No issues either time. There are good signs and announcements to guide you, lots of toilet 🚻 options, many sitting areas. The big thing we learned is that you can leave an extra suitcase or other items at the luggage shop. It seemed to be about £10 /$12 per day. Grab some shortbread on your way out, and this Cafe area was very comfy. Hope your travel is smooth too.

Good airport, I hate the fact that our baggage took over an hour and 35 minutes to arrive upon arrival on the first of October, but the rest is pretty nice, a variety of food and shopping options if you should be hungry, the airport is also accessible for spotting planes from the inside, if you are into that. Only downsides are of course the slow queue and long wait for the luggage, but I got my luggage with me both ways, so I can’t say I don’t like it. In the end I had spent a good 4 hours in the airport. Wouldn’t mind flying into EDI again.

May not be the busiest in the UK, but it is one of the largest airports in Scotland. The airport seems fairy organised, and the immigration officers and staff are friendly. I didn't have to wait long for my luggage. There are bus connections and shuttle services outside the airport to help you get around.

I arrived at Edinburgh Airport for the first time in quite a few years, and I must say it exceeded my expectations on all fronts. From the moment I stepped foot into the terminal, I was greeted by a clean and well-maintained environment that exuded a much more modern and inviting vibe than had been my last encounter. One of the standout aspects of Edinburgh Airport is its efficiency. Despite being a busy international hub, everything seemed to flow seamlessly, from the check-in process to security checks and boarding. The staff members were incredibly helpful and provided excellent customer service, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience. The facilities and amenities were great. Numerous shops, restaurants, and lounges catered to a variety of tastes and preferences, offering a range of options for travelers to relax, dine, or indulge in some retail therapy. I particularly appreciated the diverse selection of eateries, providing both local Scottish cuisine and international dishes to suit most palates. The airport's layout and signage were well-designed, easily guiding passengers to their respective gates and facilities. Clear and informative announcements were made throughout the terminal, keeping travelers informed of any changes or updates to their flights. These small details significantly enhanced the overall experience. I would also like to commend Edinburgh Airport on its accessibility. If you have mobility limitations, you may be impressed by the presence of well-maintained lifts, ramps, and assistance services available throughout the airport. The staff members appear to be more than willing to assist in any way they can, ensuring that all passengers could navigate the airport comfortably. Lastly, the airport's location is simply fantastic. Situated a short distance from the city center, it offers convenient connectivity to various transportation options, including buses, taxis, and the tram network. This accessibility made my transition from the airport to the city convenient and time-efficient. The main complaint I heard was the payment of £5 for the drop-off/pick-up area. you can of course avoid this by using the free 30 minute parking at the long stay. it's a 5 minute walk from the terminal and there's even free buses running to collect or drop you there. In conclusion, Edinburgh Airport is a shining example of what an airport should aspire to be. It has successfully combined efficiency, cleanliness, great customer service, and a wide range of facilities to provide a delightful travel experience for all passengers. Whether you're a frequent flyer or a first-time traveler, I highly recommend flying through Edinburgh Airport for a truly positive and hassle-free journey.

It’s a busy airport that could do with some more expansion of all the areas. Checkin is crowded and it can be hard to see where to enter your line. Security is always busy. The main departure lounge is more relaxed but the restaurants can be full early mornings and other peak times. But compared to many… it’s great and departures are mostly on time.
