Longer to get off the flight than the flight duration. I fly weekly. This week it took just over an hour to fly from Schipol to Edinburgh. Then at least over an out to get off the flight and then through security. I heard one American gentleman on the phone “Edinburgh is the most incompetent airport” C’mon get a grip Edinburgh! Edinburgh is one of the most iconic cities in the world and first impressions count for people visiting Scotland. The other day we came through the exit and went to M&S and the staff members first words weren’t “hope you had a good flight? Welcome”. But “ Wanna Baag” Embarrassment to Scotland.

Third world standard - incompetent staff and very poorly conceived traffic flow through security area. Need to employ people with some common sense and intelligence to redesign it

Arrival waited an hour of luggage. No staff to answer or help with questions. Departure was a nightmare. The rudest staff and security personnel. Picked apart every piece of carry on bags. 4 ounce jar of heather honey sealed ??? Left back. Everyone was getting the same treatment which meant very long lines with long wait times. I was given three claim tickets for a 4 ounce jar of honey and a few other items that was never going to be mailed to me after a reassuring yes it would be mailed with no explanation on what to do with claim tickets. I was in tears after the lines. No one cares at this airport. An elderly man was being treated in a very unacceptable way in front of me. A traveler next to me waiting in the security line apologized for staff and airport. She was a citizen of Scotland and was clearly embarrassed for the way the staff was treating people. The airport experience was horrific. Traveled many places but this was the absolute worst. This is a review but it won't matter. Nothing will be done to fix anything. I tried follow-up calls after our experience at the airport, but the response was not helpful. It was ridiculous. I wish there was a zero to give for a rating a 1 star is to generous.

The airport seems to spending lots of money on the departures floor making more space and adding shop But the arrivals hall is a shambles massive ques for passport control for uk and eu passengers the toilets were a mess and once again no taxis used to be a good airport not now.

Whose idea was it to have several airlines go through the same queue to check luggage in? I arrived at airport just over 2hrs before flight and spent about 1 1/2hrs trying to get luggage checked in before I could get under barrier to get it checked in. Thankfully Security was well organised but after taking a comfort break, buying a bottle of water my flight was boarding. On my return journey I was shocked at the state of the corridor we had to walk through. Dull, dirty and paint chipped everywhere. What a welcome to the capital City for International visitors.

Unbelievably slow in every single step. Chaotic check-in with some staff being very incompetent Terrible security ( they have check more than 1/3 of the trays, most of them for no reason whatsoever). Poor layout. Worst airport experience ever (three times in a row so it's not a coincidence)

Hi my flight was 18/08/22. The ground staff in Edinburgh airport are just fantastic. The staff at the baggage drop yesterday morning were so kind and helpful in a genuine and non patronizing way. Twas the same at the boarding gates. Such pleasant staff getting on with their jobs in an efficient and helpful, pleasant manner. Overall the atmosphere in the airport was that of a busy well functioning machine, everyone getting on with the task in hand whilst being very aware of travellers needs. Looking forward to my next journey through Edinburgh .

Hi just back from Majorca we’re we went through passport control in palma no bother! Landed at Edinburgh and from getting off the plane with swollen feet for the escalator to be switched off in front of us told to use the long staircase old people too was the start of a near 2 hr wait to get through passport control what a joke! Hundreds of people queueing for hours some with crying tired kids and a few sitting looking at your passports! Then everyone walking to the do it yourself passport gate for it not to work! Get it sorted ASAP! we heard a lot of angry people in the queue up and down like sheep taking forever! It’s not good enough! :(

Just back from Santorini with Jet 2 between Landing, going through passport control, and picking up our 2 cases 20 minutes. Parked in multi-storey so short walk then home in fife within an hour of landing. Well done Edinburgh airport and Jet2. Too many bad reports so thought I would give praise where due. Experience on the way out to Santorini also great Jet 2 check in quick, efficient and friendly. Security no problem and very quick. Wetherspoons food not so good but you can't have everything! 😊

5 and 10 years ago airport was great with staff, even though it was cramped. But last 3-4 years it has really declined. Slow luggage handling, and damaged luggage 2 times now. And customer service is basically non-functioning. To bad since it has been so much better. Really horrible for tourists I must think. Tram is working brilliant at least, so a second star for that.

What an impression of Scotlands capital this airport is, 2nd time landing in it recently and the same fiasco … Departed flight and walked along a corridor with dented walls to be met with locked doors and a 10 minute wait for a man who looked homeless and like he had just walked off the streets , boots with soles hanging off and no apology given. Then to go through border control with aggressive staff with poor communication and no multi language skills. Thereafter to the Bus stand to Glasgow with no electronic displays of next bus or departure times with many people asking when the next bus might come ! An embarrassment for o Scotland and much needed investment needed

Once again we find that we have to wait in excess of 1hour to get our bags. This is certainly nothing to do with Covid as pre-pandemic we experienced the same poor standards from the baggage handlers. This puts us off flying to Edinburgh Airport We are frequent flyers that go away 9 times per annum.

Toilets are disgusting, whole airport seems under-staffed. Transport to airport isn't great, train then bus - no direct rail link or anything sensible like you'd see at Prestwick for example. Shops are tightly packed and not that good, arrivals and departures are narrow and there isn't much room: forget it if you're in wheelchair. Airport far too small and far too rubbish for the volume of flights coming in and out. National joke airport.

After reading a lot of these reviews, it seems to me that the response from Edinburgh Airport is the same , blame everyone else , and take no responsibility when it’s clearly an management and organisation situation. Doesn’t look good for Scotland. Wash going to fly from Edinburgh, not now .

Last night 3 Ryanair flights cancelled and no staff to provide information - took 3 and a half hours to get bags back and absolutely no crowd control. This is an accident waiting to happen

Edinburgh is the worst airport in UK easily. Full of slogans about how great it is but it’s endless waits - waits to check in, waits at security (rudest security staff ever), waits to get off your plane and the baggage reclaim is soooooo slow. They need taken over by someone than can run it well. The folk that run Newcastle airport know how to do it for example

I thought nothing could be worse than the experience of flying out of Edinburgh airport to CDG .. see other reviews for details, but I was wrong…flying back in was worse! Among the catalogue of issues I will highlight just one. When I bought my ticket where did I give your groundstaff the right to hold me on a locked crowded bus while they failed to cope with their responsibilities? If all you can offer is ‘management speak’ please don’t bother responding.
