When I flew in on Flybe, it took about 25 minutes for the first bags to get onto the conveyor, which was about 40% of my flight time to get there! What annoyed me most is that there was no information about the delay, or a message board to say what the predicted wait time would be. I suggest that you display the predicted arrival time of the bags or at least the state. This is not hard to put in place. The bags are either 'Waiting to be unloaded', 'unloading', 'on the way' or 'at the conveyor'. A quick scan of the first bag off the plane would change the state from 'waiting' to 'unloading' . 'On the way' would be when the first bag cart leaves the planes gate. Etc. Predicted lead times are easy to implement. Most frustration comes from not knowing what is going on. The bag guys at the conveyor did not know nor didn't care to let us know why there was such a delay.

Desperately slow security checking system

Good shops, Easy access for long term parking. After security there is not sufficient space if you have two trays and have to repack your case with items. People who wish to fast track after security cannot, they are force to wander at the pace of tourists going through duty free. Gate 6 - I think - Easyjet to Geneva - people stand and block the lounge while waiting for their flight. The arriving passengers have to force their way through the line.

Having flown from Edinburgh 3 times in the last year nothing has changed. The pen for immigration is a shambles the baggage hall sorry shed is so slow in reuniting luggage with passengers and then the taxi stance well why can it not be like every other airport and you walk outside and taxis and private hire vehicles are waiting on you. Why make everyone walk along a hoarding then back along the other side and round a barrier??? Interesting to hear you replies ???

When one arrives off certain flights you are immediately confronted with a series of steps to climb. This ok for most but those of us who are not so able and strong find it difficult. Surely with all the money you spend your planning department can install escalators where requiured.

Generally not well kept - there was garbage everywhere including the floors and on seats. Also, biggest issue was lack of plug-ins for charging various devices. Pretty much a necessity these days.

Congested checkin and gate areas. More like a shopping mall than a airport.

The secruity check on the outbound flight is a disaster whoever designed that needs shot and the passport control on the inbound flight was probably worse ruined a once good airport

I parked my car at LowCostParking, and waited 45 minutes for the car park bus, due to this frustrating time I unfortunately missed my 16.20pm flight to Belfast International on Friday 2nd June. I then had to wait 4 hours for the next available flight to Belfast and spend £135.26. I was very disappointed in this car park as I have travelled numerous times out of Glasgow airport and never had any bother with the range of car parks connected with Glasgow. This however was my first time flying from Edinburgh and I was very upset and angry that I missed my flight due to only 1 bus running and a 45 minute wait. Within the confirmation email from the car park it stated there would be a bus running every 20 minutes with a 6 minute travel time. £135.26 spent because the car park didn't fulfil their 20 minute promise. Very disappointed and upset with the experience and wish to express my concerns to the car park themselves.

The interior of the airport is good. The US278 flight on Saturday morning took 1 hour 12 minutes before passengers got through baggage reclaim and immigration. That is too long. Baggage belt 6 is used too frequently and often there are 2 or 3 flights all waiting there at the same time. The belt is not long enough. People are hurting themselves reaching for (heavy) bags through other people that are often 3 or 4 deep at the belt. The belt needs to be made longer or belts 4 and 5 used more frequently. This may be a customs issue, but in that case belt 5 and 6 should be merged into one large belt that is all customs controlled.

The long wait on the Tarmac post landing for a place to dock was upsetting The long walk to the car hire and then the wait in a queue for Hertz was disappointing

Security was not well managed this time as there was an airport authority meeting so various people were prioritised over and above families already waiting to put bags through. I had an obviously upset (and less obviously unwell) child but still the belongings of meeting folk were pushed before ours by airport staff. One tray was held back as no one or sign indicated that all plastic liquids bags should be in separate trays so I recommend you add a sticker to trays, out signs up and tell staff to tell people as various people did the same which held up lots of people and your staff unnecessarily as it could have been easily avoided
