A bit off-topic, and apologies for that ; but where would people recommend as the best hotel closest to the airport?

If you are driving use the Premier Inn in South Queensferry.  10 minutes drive to the airport and decent price.

No good if you’re relying on public transport.

Went through Incheon airport last week in Seoul. What a fucking nightmare that was. Nice airport but took 2.5 hours to get through check In, security and immigration before a 20 minute trek to my gate.

My pal was held for 12 hours because he had grown a beard and they wouldn't believe he was who he did he was.

Read a news report that 3 Chinese women were held back because they had had cosmetic surgery done and no longer matched their passport photo. I suppose it disproves the theory they all look the same though!

Thought the whole point of the new biometric passports is that it doesn't matter if you have a beard/cut your hair/have surgery, it measures lots of things like eye separation and width of the mouth etc then lets you through the gate without a human being involved?

Maybe so.  I'm not sure how dramatic a change in the face cosmetic surgery makes that might affect the biometrics.

Went out and back through Edinburgh airport in the last week; no problems other than a slight delay at passport control coming back.

I think some folk on here just like to moan.

Flew in on Friday and spent 15 minutes after getting off the plane stuck in some corridor at the back of the airport because the queue to board another plane cut across that corridor and they couldn't risk get them mixed up. Fucking amateur set up.

At Southampton they used to bus you literally 50 yards from plane to terminal building because you'd be cutting across passengers boarding another plane. Mental. You could see the door and it would have probably been quicker holding people on the plane for 5 minutes than getting two busses round, waiting for them to fill up then drive round the plane to the door.

Any recommendations for a cheap overnight stay near the airport? Got an early morning flight and don't fancy a taxi from Cumbernauld.

I stayed in a hostel in the centre of Edinburgh, the airport bus runs 24/7 and is quick early in the morning.

Depends how early but there's coaches from Buchanan Street that go straight to the airport. I got a taxi into town and the driver said he'd have took me straight there from Cumbernauld for £30 all in.
