Edinburgh Airport 5 star review on 17th June 2017

“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.”

“They have handed off all Bagage handling to third parties. If a bag is misplaced or lost, it may take you days to weeks to get the issue resolved if you are lucky. The third party handlers get paid the same wether you get your bags or not…so they really don’t care.”

“Expansion badly needed!!! The check-in and security check areas need to be at least 50% larger and have double the number of staff. Staff are friendly, especially given the mayhem in these areas. Way too many people crammed in like cattle. Poor ventilation. Ironically the retail areas are very spacious.”

“Airport assistant is shocking and we have used it twice in 3 months never seen such a sham. Lack of experience with complete disregard to passenger with disabilities. Rude and arrogant assistance staff when asked for transfer equipment and no idea how to actually use equipment. Shocking quality of service”

“No seating facilities on ground floor. My wife and I had to wait for 11 hours due to a cancelled flight. Spent much of it sat on the floor. Not good for the over-60s.”

“From flight landing to collecting luggage took over 2 hours. When plane landed, we got held taxi-ing for 30mins…no ground staff to greet us added another 15mins. Passport control had huge lines, another 45mins. Then waited at least 45mins for baggage. All in all absolute shambles. their slogan is ‘where Scotland meets the world’, what an embarrassment.”

“It is strange that there are long lines at Security, Immigration, Baggage Reclaim, etc. and yet when you get to Duty Free you can sail through without any delay! How is that Duty Free can man their operation successfully and all other airport departments fail?”

“Simply the most dreadful airport in the UK and I travel every week. Staff so not engaged and zero management. Making women with babies and disabled people walk through long snake lines to security even though nobody is waiting. Chatting, giggling and thinking they have power. So sad for an airport with potential. Please sort this airport out as civil servants having an easy time.”

“Luggage reclaim is completely inadequate. It is slow, slow, slow. It is not busy. Our plane is only one in the hall. At time of writing this review standing in the luggage reclaim hall, we have been waiting forty five minuted and still nothing on belt. Completely unacceptable.”

Hi there, We strive to deliver a seamless journey for all of our customers, and I appreciate how frustrating the lengthy wait for your luggage must have been. The baggage delivery process is the responsibility of your airline and their contracted handling agent. Like many other businesses, handling agents are finding recruitment to be a challenge at the moment and unfortunately, they haven’t been able to bring new staff onboard as quickly as they hoped for. We’ve stepped up our own teams and where possible, Edinburgh Airport staff are being deployed to support the baggage handling process. This process can take a little bit of time as we must pull staff from our operation to help another and when we too are busy, it can be a challenge. Though it doesn’t make amends for your poor experience, please be assured that we are working with our partners to support their operation and recruitment drive. Thanks, Customer Support Team

“Edinburgh airport need to do better. Bag drop area is chaotic, it is a challenge to even know which queue to join, nobody available to help. Security queues are a chaotic free for all, mainly because it is so slow and many people start to panic about missing their flight. Return flight and passage through arrivals was fine for us.”
