Sunglasses here run from around £60 into the high hundreds
Sunglass Hut at Edinburgh Airport sits airside in the main departure area, so you clear security before you see it. It’s the standard small-format shop: wall racks of branded frames, a central stand of bestsellers, and a counter tucked at the back for payments and adjustments. You’ll recognise big names like Ray-Ban and Prada alongside mid-range labels in the £80–£150 bracket.
The shop typically trades from early morning through the last bank of departures, matching most EDI flight waves. That means you can grab a pair for a 06:30 easyJet departure or browse while waiting for a late-evening BA flight. Stock leans heavily toward sun shades rather than prescription frames, with a few polarised and sport options on the higher shelves.
Pricing lands close to UK high-street levels, sometimes with airport promos like 10–20% off second pairs or selected models. If you usually buy online, expect to pay a slight premium over internet prices, but not wildly above what you’d see in central Edinburgh. Staff can usually do minor adjustments on the spot, which matters when you’re about to sit on a plane for 3+ hours.
Last tip: if you’re tempted by designer frames in the £200+ range, snap a quick photo of the model number and check your usual retailer on your phone before you tap your card; EDI’s free Wi‑Fi reaches fine into this part of departures.
