Edinburgh Airport 5 star review on 17th June 2017

“Access to the airport is poor, only one road in, single file traffic to get to the drop off point. Check-in conveyor belt not working, so had to check in then move to another area for actual bag drop. Security takes a lot longer than it used to. Flight delayed 45 minutes then had to take a magical mystery tour on a bus to get to the plane. All in all the worst experience at EDI that I've had.”

“I travelled internationally and i had a lost bag when I flew in to Glasgow. I was told immediately that the bag was supposed to have it meet me in Edinburgh 24 hours later. When I arrived at the airport and my bag wasn't there I tried to speak with many staff about how I could contact the Glasgow airport to get more information, not a single airport employee was willing to truest help out with my situation and everyone tried to pass me on to someone else. Not a good experience at all.”

“At security the personnel gear you put on the tray to go through the scanner was left to go through whilst we had to queue at another area to go through the human scanner, when we passed that there was dozens of personal stuff that was left for anyone to steal. That is not security at its best, it's a scandal”

“The airport is totally unprepared for an airline disruption like the one that happened to British Airways on Saturday. Not enough seating, disallowing stranded passengers to rest overnight on restaurant couches results in people on cold concrete floors. No help, no one to make decisions. Sometimes helping people is more important than not applicable helth and safety regulations or liquor licensing rules. Very disappointing experience.”

“When I handle the boarding pass, I pay the checked baggage fee. When I went to the gate, it took twenty minutes from the plane to take off, but did not let me board the plane. I missed the flight but did not refund the cost of my baggage. The key is, why do I check the check-in time, the counter staff do not tell me the aircraft half an hour ahead of the cabin, and then let me handle baggage? Is this intentionally let me pay? Its Easyjet U2802 in2017.5.25 06:10 edinburgh to London”

“The wifi service is terrible and the entire process of going through security is painfull. The system is so out of date but I work in Edinburgh so have no choice but to travel through the airport. I have travelled to Glasgow airport every week for 18 months and am now going to go back to glasgow and drive to Edinburgh. i Am from New Zealand and have travelled extensively around the world and Edinburgh is bottom of the list. Wifi is below poor in this day and age Security is nothing less than shambolic I have told my visiting family to fly to Glasgow and i will pick them up”

“When I arrived three hours prior to my flight, the airport was still shut down from the night. The signage of where to check in for departure is very much lacking on the main level where the airport bus dropped me off, so I ended up upstairs at the departure gates, which were also still locked. I wasted at least 30 minutes there...when they opened, I realized I had to go back downstairs. By this time, the lineups were massive. After finally checking in and getting thru security, I tried to get breakfast and coffee at Cafe Nero, who were still opening up for the morning, even though the airport was full of people. They were really rude and told me to come back in 15 minutes. When I returned in 15 minutes, they told me to come back in 10 minutes. Finally, after wandering the other direction thru the halls, I discovered Costa Coffee, who had been open all the while. Not a pleasant experience on the way out whatsoever! Who wants to leave their holiday like this??!!”

“No information given in regards to delayed flight and then no further information on having to move to different gates three times. Then on our return journey we had to wait 20 minutes for the pilot to find a spot to dock the plane ... not good”

“Trying to check in at the Air Lingus desk was incredibly slow, then when I tried to enter the security area the scanner would not accept my electronic or paper copy of my boarding pass. The person on the desk would not hel me and he advised me to go back and have my birding pass reprinted. At the check in desk it was chaos with lots of people that were going to miss their flight one of the staff took 20 minutes to process one family whilst the second staff member left the booking in area I then had to be rude and went to the front of the line to get a reprint of my boarding pass which took around 5 minutes. I then had to run all of the way and delayed at security and just maid the last call for the flight. Not a good start for a holiday!!!”

“Very poor baggage handleing”

“Travelling through Edinburgh is an awful experience. From arriving at the airport to boarding a flight is an extremely poor experience. On arrival you have walk through a thick "wall" of cigarette smoke. The check in experience is slow and similar to a third world airport largely due to the number of check in desks not being expanded in line with the number of flights and passengers. It's surely not a surprise that the baggage system regularly fails as it has not been expanded to cope with the "temporary"check in desks. The queues for security are frequently very long reaching back to the escalators. When using the fast track service there are regularly times when there isn't a dedicated fast track line. Airline crew and other staff frequently push to the front of the fast track queue. Airside there are insufficient seating areas and seats probably because of the focus on adding more shops. Air bridges are frequently broken or not used. Departure and arrival gates are frequently in remote areas of the airport extending journey times by 20 to 30 minutes.”

“Not enough people in a security or border patrol to allow people through quickly. Also no notification about flight delays.”

“Late arrival on Flight 816 from Faro on Monday night. Plane Landed Late at 11.05 - Why did it take 10/15 mins for the Stairway Appliance to Attend? The plane parked up as far away from the terminal as it could possibly be? Why?- Taken to the far end of the terminal where we had to endure a wait of nearly 20 mins for baggage to arrive! Why? The conveyor broke down where we again had to endure a further 15 min wait and delay! Why? The total time delay was nearly 2 hours - Disgusting for an International Airport and No Way was this Jet 2's fault! The attendants at the conveyor fiasco were employees of Edinburgh Airport and didn't have a clue - A Jet 2 employee tried her best to get an answer to this shambles but there was no senior Airport official about to help - It appears they disappeared down a black hole! Disgusting & Shambolic!”

“The security system is not very well planned. After at least a 10 minute wait I then had to use position number 1. Put my stuff in the tray and went through the X-ray machine. Then stood and watched 8 people who had been behind me collect my their trays before my tray eventually came through!!!!”
