Park and Ride at the A8 junction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gpo Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Just experienced the airport for the first time on a return journey to Venice last week. No problems whatsoever with security, travel, staff etc. Clean, efficient, no issues. Got a bus from Buchanan Bus Station, Glasgow there and back, traffic a bit busy but altogether no problems. Would travel from Edinburgh again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallochSonsFan Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Any recommendations for a cheap overnight stay near the airport? Got an early morning flight and don't fancy a taxi from Cumbernauld.How much is the novatel at Edinburgh Park? Easy for the tram to the airport 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 They've changed the security procedures at Birmingham airport, used to be my favourite, now it's horribly slow. Staff cuts presumably. Buying fast track for next trip, £3.75 a pop. Fucking hate queuing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the jambo-rocker Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 On 24/11/2017 at 20:39, Mr Gandosaur said: 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. I got lucky going through it myself last week, but I can see why people can get chronically held up. I had anxiety trying to ensure I wrote in the correct information into the two immigration slips that you fill out. It felt incredibly big brother having to write exactly where I was staying, going, planning on doing on a business trip I had no idea for how long I would be there for. My complaint these days with Edinburgh is on the way back in how ridiculously long it takes for hold luggage to come through. On the two trips I've been away on in the last month, it's been roughly 25-30 minutes for both times I've been waiting to collect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karpaty Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Why does “Gate 07B” exist at Glasgow? No sign for that anywhere, took a chance and bolted up towards gates 1-24 and thankfully it was there. Soon as the gate info was released it went straight to boarding. A mistake I won’t make again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanius Mullarkey Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Went through Edinburgh Airport last week on route to London. Whizzed through security in the family lane but when getting into departures it was absolutely fucking hoaching. Nae room in either Wetherspoons on the other one up the other end. Had to go into the Gathering bit and nearly never got my pint. Bogs were rammed as well. Seemed very packed for a Thursday lunchtime. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've not long opened up the new bit with gates 12-16 (I think), but all it is is some seats and a branch of Pret. The nearest (rammed) toilets were back down by Wetherspoons. By all means expand to cope with increased passenger throughput, but it's not just about the space. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Master Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 (edited) I flew out of Edinburgh on Monday. Not content with already having too few toilets, they've now closed the ones near gate 4 for refurbishment. The new international arrivals hall is also a soulless place. Very clinical and unfitted unfinished looking. Edited December 13, 2018 by The Master Damn autocorrect 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The security before you fly out is nowhere near as bad as its made out to be, a bit longer than most but not that bad. Coming back I fucking hate it. Always crammed onto a bus, security queues always huge and seems Edinburgh is filled with people flying into it that have never seen the passport scanners before so always make a c**t of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
