“Extremely Disappointing Experience I recently had the misfortune of dealing with your staff, and I have never encountered such rudeness and unprofessional behavior in my entire life. The employees were unpleasant, poorly mannered, and completely fell short in every aspect of customer service. From the moment I arrived, I was met with an unwelcoming attitude. The staff seemed disinterested in helping and displayed a lack of basic courtesy. This level of service is unacceptable, especially for a business that relies on public interaction. I strongly urge the management to address these issues immediately. Proper training in customer service and basic manners is clearly needed. This experience has left a very negative impression, and I hope no other customer has to endure what I went through. Until these issues are resolved, I cannot give you more than the 1 star and that is only because i cannot do no stars”

“Having travelled from the wonderful Athens Airport where the staff are friendly and helpful, security is filled with space and light, we arrived at Edinburgh. Staff rude and unhelpful, we were treated worse than sheep, the airport is shabby, dirty and unwelcoming. We felt like apologising to our Greek fellow passengers! Well the staff certainly wouldn’t! Pull your socks up Edinburgh Airport!”

“The airport is filthy, dirt, dust, hair balls and litter in every stairwell, corridor or corner. Security and passport control surely can’t be safe, hundreds of passengers rammed in up a long corridor before passport control not moving. And security was a shamble with the escalator up to it having to be emergency stopped to stop overcrowding at the top. An embarrassment to Scotland.”

“Edinburgh Airport is sorely lacking in organisation and practical customer care. We fly a lot and dread when we have to use Edinburgh Airport. It’s a shame Glasgow Airport has cut flights since the pandemic as they are much better. Edinburgh really needs to work on the poor welcome to Scotland people receive coming into their airport.”

“What went wrong.... We used Edinburgh airport. Rudest staff ever at check-in and arrivals, security and passport control are a disgrace. Secuity staff displayed childish behavior, hinging on absurd (told my elderly mother very rudly, she would need to checkin a mascara or bin it) i said i would add it to my liquid bag, which seem to upset her no end, so she proceeded to go through all her baggage very slowly, felt like she was doing this purely as revenge for not getting to bin the item. Pasport control, staff screaming at eneryone at top of their voices to move at because we were queing all the way up the stairs, there was nowhere to go because it was full. 45mins que, No exception for elderly or people with small children and babies. 80 mins from landing to exiting the airport is unacceptable, back to Glasgow or Newcastle for us in future, dont need this place blighting my memories, holidays are too expensive these days to be tarnished by this joke of a place.”

Promised help with expenses. DUMPED again. Emails blocked. DUMPED again. Thomas Miller and his team (bar Sarah) need memory help. If you want to be DUMPED go to Edinburgh airport and visit OCS. Mr Dewar time to up the service or end up in the dump. Andrew.”

“Everything. OCS put us to wrong gate. Lost our flight. Lost precious time with family. Spent time in places we did not want to go. Spent time in Edinburgh Airport through no fault of our own. Promised compensation. Never happened. Dumped on our return trip by OCS again. Thomas Miller OCS duty manager promised us he would handle it all. One telephone call and nothing. Blocked our emails. Edinburgh airport does not care for people. Sad.”

“I have flown through more airports globally than I can name, and by far Edinburgh Airport security has been the most off-putting. Rather than making things safer, the carryon baggage search at Edinburgh Airport is at the point of being silly. Other airports across the globe abide by regulation restrictions on liquids, but at Edinburgh Airport even the regulation sizes are treated with suspicion and tested. This includes the vanity sets which airlines give customers to fly with, this includes mascara and an individual eye drop vial (which is only a few ccs and is less than one small spoonful). Never before had I seen a flight attendant have their carry on luggage inspected with a fine tooth comb. I don’t think Edinburgh Airport security genuinely believed any of these things or myself or the flight attendant were of risk (I have a Global Entry security clearance myself). After spending 20 minutes going through my carry on bag and finding nothing in violation of regulations, the security officer pointed to the handbag on my shoulder which had already been X-rayed and had already passed security and asked about the contents of the handbag.The security team does their job with no accountability, no supervisor we can complain to, and they can and do get away with playing childish power games which waste time, are off putting and serve no purpose in making the airport any safer. This was my first visit to Scotland. Nothing in my personal profile makes me a suspicious person. I have always been a peaceful, law abiding person who enjoys traveling, but I will choose never to fly through Edinburgh Airport again. It’s just not worth it.”

“It's the first time I've ever received anything free at the airport, I didn't realise assaulted was complimentary at Edinburgh airport. So don't ever ask a question like why because if you do men in security think that they have the right to man handle you and push you physically to move on and shout, anywhere else that's assault why is it not in the airport?? and when you ask to speak to a supervisor why are you told "I don't understand why you need to speak to a supervisor" but if you don't understand why I need to speak to a supervisor I don't know what you people get up to. Putting hands on people is not normal!!”

“Edinburgh airport is poorly managed and disorganised. The airport cannot cope with the number of flights and subsequent passengers. Profit seems to be the only driver. The current operators seem to be unwilling to undertake a root and branch re-design of the airport that would , at least match the leading mediums sized airports in Europe or Asia. Initial points to consider are -Customer experience such as seating -Layout of the airport service areas -Covered, stylish access to parking areas -Engaging architecture”

“British airports generally seem to be far worse than most other developed countries and edinburgh is one of the worst in Britain. It was badly designed from the outset with sub-standard materials and its now also filthy and dilapidated. It is a disgrace to edinburgh. I don’t know how much profit is being derived from the airport - it seems plenty busy - but it certainly isn’t being appropriately reinvested in the airport”

“I travelled to Kaunas on Sunday 10th March returning Friday 22nd March. I booked special assistance for both journeys. After a limp about the airport I found the special assistance room waited only a few minutes then was whisked smoothly and efficiently through the airport to check in by David who was kind considerate friendly and efficient. What a lovely start to my journey. Things could NOT have been more different on my return journey. I was asked to remain in my seat until everyone was disembarked from the plane which was fine but then had to wait another while for the cherry picker vehicle thing to come along side- also fine (although I had now been sitting for 3 hours unable to move or go to the loo!) There was a long wait and when I was told I could now be moved onto the transfer vehicle there was a big step down from the emergency exit onto a slush covered metal ramp with no hand hold. A bit scarey with 2 crutches. I got into the vehicle and then sat for approx 10minutes before it moved. Very cold! It eventually moved round to the gate where I was met by a harassed women who just kept saying "we don't have a wheelchair, we can't find a wheelchair." Eventually when she calmed down a bit she said she would walk me through to customs where a colleague would hopefully meet me with a wheelchair!! I asked if I could please go to the loo and was told that there weren't any loos until after I was through the custom desk. However the other woman who was flapping about looking for an elusive wheelchair then rushed off saying she was going to the loo! Leaving me standing with the other woman. By this time I was fairly exhausted by all the harassment and decided that I would attempt walking through to customs! The mad harassed woman would not leave me alone- kept on and on about not having a wheelchair but she would walk me through. I eventually had to ask her to please leave me alone. The custom desk had by this time closed but luckily the man was still there which meant another wait while he logged back into the system. I eventually got through to the other side was met by a man with a wheelchair which I used for the last hundred yards of my journey though edinburgh airport. What an utter fiasco! Please employ more staff like David.”

“I've used Edinburgh airport several times over the past two or so years and it never fails to curl my toes and make me grimace. Ceiling tiles missing, others stained, floors messy, unclean, worn out signage, tarmac paths that are pitted and rutted. What an under-funded embarrassment. Arrivals is akin to a 1960s eastern-bloc cliche but never mind, there's an Irn-Bru vending machine to make it all right. Jet-washing, proper maintenance and cleaning routines and at least a smidgen of respect would make a big difference, but clearly no-one in a position of authority can be bothered to implement any of those. As a first impression of our country it's a very sad and bad joke. The general populace should crowd-fund large banners proclaiming our own national embarrassment at what visitors have to encounter and endure. Not good enough by those responsible, and not by a long way.”

“My husband and I flew on a Loganair flight on 27th March to Southampton and were so impressed by the help we received at the airport. Having asked for assistance for me as I struggle to walk long distances we were treat like royalty being helped all the way until we boarded the plane. We were first on and asked to remain in our seats until everyone had got off at Southampton, so the stewardess could help me get off. Loganair had messaged to Southampton to say I needed assistance and a lady was waiting at the bottom of the steps to push me all the way to the airport car park. Thank you Edinburgh Airport for all of your assistance. Mrs Alison Venning.”
