Edinburgh International Airport
Edinburgh International Airport (IATA: EDI) , is situated some 10 miles west of
the city. The airport offers a wide range of domestic and international flights
to Europe and North America. Many visitors to the city arrive via a connecting
flight from London. Edinburgh Airport does, however, have a daily flight to and
from Newark (Continental Airlines), a short drive from New York City and also
a daily flight to and from Atlanta, Georgia and New York City (Delta Air Lines).
In comparison to most Scottish airports, Edinburgh's European flight network is
well developed, with frequent scheduled flights to destinations such as Amsterdam,
Berlin, Brussels, Copenhagen, Dublin, Frankfurt, Geneva, Helsinki, Kaunas, Madrid,
Milan, Munich, Paris, Rome, Stockholm,Warsaw and Zurich.
A dedicated airport bus service, Airlink Express , service 100, runs from outside
the terminal building to Edinburgh city centre (Waverley Bridge) at least every
10 minutes until 00.22 and then every 30 minutes until 04.45. The bus leaves
from Waverley Bridge (opposite entrance to train station) for the Airport at
the same intervals 24/7. Adult fares are £3.50 for a single, £6
for an open return and the journey takes an average 25 mins. The buses offer
free wi-fi connection, sockets for charging electrical equipment, CCTV allowing
top-deck passengers to monitor their luggage, and electronic "next-stop"
information. The Airlink buses have a dedicated blue livery which makes them
easy to distinguish from the rest of the Lothian fleet.
A cheaper alternative is the ordinary Lothian Buses service 35, which runs
from the bus stance outside the arrivals building to Ocean Terminal via the
Royal Mile/High Street. Although much slower and with less provision for baggage
than the 100, it is far cheaper at £1.20 a single and also allows the
use of day tickets and other options that work on all Lothian Buses services,
a great option for getting straight to the city if travelling lightly or on
a budget.
