Edinburgh Airport is located just to the west of Scotland's capital city. It is within easy access to the country's main road network, reaching the whole of central Scotland and beyond, so if you're on a short break to Edinburgh you won't spend much time travelling to and from your accommodation in Edinburgh or the surrounding areas.

Due to changes in UK security measures we strongly recommend that you arrive at the airport 2 hours before your departure to ensure you have sufficient time to get to your boarding gate.

If approaching from the Edinburgh side join the A8 from the city bypass and proceed towards Glasgow. From the North and West you should join the A8 at the Newbridge roundabout and proceed towards Edinburgh. Follow signs for airport.
