5 min read Verified Edinburgh Transport Guide

Edinburgh Airport (IATA: EDI) consists of a single modern terminal building, making navigation relatively straightforward compared to multi-terminal hubs like London Heathrow. Here is what to expect when you land.

Arrivals & Border Control

International arriving passengers pass through UK Border Force passport control. Eligible biometric passport holders (UK, EU, EEA, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Singapore, South Korea) can use automated ePassport gates for expedited entry.

Baggage Reclaim & Customs

Once through passport control, descend into the baggage reclaim hall. Luggage carousels are clearly signposted with flight origins. Free high-speed Wi-Fi is available throughout the terminal.

Meeting Your Private Transfer Driver

Exit the secure arrivals hall into the public concourse. Pre-booked transfer drivers coordinate meeting at the designated pickup zone just outside the terminal doors. You will receive clear driver and vehicle details prior to arrival.
