Known for unexpectedly long security lines and a surprisingly rich selection of local food and drink, it's an airport where savvy navigation can lead to delightful discoveries. More than just a gateway to Scotland, EDI's proximity to efficient tram and bus services means that the charm of Edinburgh's Old Town is less than an hour away, particularly if you're adept at dodging the costly taxis. At a glance Handling over 14.7 million passengers annually, EDI is the primary aviation hub for the eastern Scottish Lowlands. While you won't find multiple terminals here, you will encounter a singular yet sprawling terminal that punches above its weight in terms of amenities. The airport boasts 28 dining options, from familiar faces like Burger King and Starbucks to local treasures like The Gathering, as well as 14 lounges catering to every type of traveler. Shopping is similarly varied, with 27 stores offering everything from Scottish crafts at Edinburgh Gift Emporium to high street staples like WHSmi… ## Terminals (1) - **Edinburgh Airport Terminal** URL: https://airport.flights/airport/edi/terminals/item ## Dining (28) -

_Time_: Security can range from 5 minutes to a 40-minute ordeal, so add a 20–30 minute buffer during rush periods and festival season. - _Quiet_: Use the work pods near Gates 2 and 20 for a quieter space to work or rest before your flight. - _Local_: The tram to Princes Street or St Andrew Square is usually cheaper and more reliable than a taxi, especially during rush hour. - _Insider_: For quieter drinks, seek out bars away from the main departure lounge. These offer a more traditional pub vibe. - _Money_: Take the Airlink or Skylink buses to save significantly over taxi fares. Contactless payment is a breeze. - _Avoid_: Major coffee chains' queues can be daunting; smaller kiosks offer faster service and quality beverages. - _Insider_: Parking at EDI can be costly; pre-book long-stay options for better rates and shuttle convenience. --- ## Live data Live arrivals, departures, and weather are not in this static reference.
