“Had a 6 am flight. Queue to security took 45 mins. I was looking at some holiday photos on my phone while waiting when some 19/20 years old security guy (?) aggressively tapped me on my shoulder and said “you delete that, I saw what you did” assuming I took a photo. I said I didn’t and showed him and he vaguely apologised. Going through security was chaotic. When about to board, some young girl checked our passports and tickets not really knowing what she was doing g and scrolling through her social media (!!!). No indication on the priority boarding either so no one knew where they were meant to be. Customer service is a skill that staff in this airport obviously lack of. I’ve been travelling through this airport for 17 years but this year was the worse.”

“Drop off is a complete rip off. £6 for 3 minutes today. Can't pay cash which I now see is advertised on line but didn't see any signs going in.”

“Arrived today to face an hour plus wait for our bags (again) this time two of the three bags were damaged. One unusable now. Guess I will have to eat that cost. Massive staff issues in baggage handling and clearly overwhelmed can only explain damaged luggage. I don’t mind stairs but any modern airport these days has escalators and travelators to speed up passenger flow. EDI failed to get that memo. The bolted on barn look of the most recent addition to the airport to house passports and baggage collection looks temporary, ugly and just so far behind other modern airports. And I never understand why you need to get stairs off the plane to the tarmac only to walk up more stairs when there are elevated unused attachable corridors in the parking bay of the plane?! All in all it looks like massive mis investment, and bad if not horrific management. A focus on growth at the expensive of class and quality that a city like Edinburgh deserves. Tourists first impressions will be one of shock and disappointment. Several passengers I waited with today missed their subsequent transport (train/bus) and had to book hotels for the night. Looking at reviews in the press this looks like it happens daily.”

“Congratulations,Edinburgh gets the 3rd World airport of the year award. Waited 25 minutes to be escorted off the plane. Enormous queue at the ladies and no toilet paper! So poorly laid out and down at heel. My advice is choose Glasgow or Inverness, both much nicer and actually cheaper”

“I was checking in on the KLM 926 this morning and had the most horrific experience with ground staff of Swissport the girl if you can call her this was the most rude and disrespectful person I’ve witnessed and not just to myself but to other passengers and members of Swissport how can you employ these rude people you should be ashamed , and I think I’m pronouncing her name as Agniksa think it’s time you re -grouped your staff , I’m a frequent flyer and think newspapers should be looking at behaviour of Swissport once again , so badly managed!!!!”

“Unhelpful, rude staff, it was an awful experience at the baggage scan. The lady didn’t say a word, did not help just stared and made faces.”

“The worst baggage collection I have ever experienced- consistently - every time I fly to Edi.”

“Edinburgh Airport is an absolute embarrasment. For international travellers to arrive into such poor conditions, over such an extended period, when they have travelled from other wonderful airports reflects poorly on the city and country as a whole. You're ferried through temporary walkways, unheated with gum stuck to the floors and herded into a shed for arrivals. Two international flights at the same time and a total of four staff on duty. One to manage the queuing "rope", one to point you to the do it yourself immigration machines and only two to conduct the process manually. Wait an age for baggage to arrive again in a temporary crowded space. The airport has spent a fortune on becoming a grand shopping mall but leaves its core function, of actually processing passengers, woefully underserved. Airports jn so-called third world countries are so much better appointed.....”

“Edinburgh Airport is ok to leave from, but it must be the worst in Europe to arrive into!! Having used Barcelona and Charles de Gaulle in the past two months, Edinburgh falls badly behind them - they both have escalators and travelators to help people move easily through the airport - when you arrive back in Edinburgh you are faced with three flights of stairs to climb, followed by a walk along a corridor, then two flights of stairs down to Passport control!!! - was there never any thought of installing escalators when the airport was 'improved' a number of years ago???”

“Edinburgh airport is an absolute disgrace. Shabby, cramped, dirty, smelly and hopelessly under-invested. How do they get away with only having stairs and one tiny lift to get to the flights - all other airports have escalators etc. It is by far the worst airport I have been to - the only other terrible ones are in the Uk. The only solution is to demolish it and start again - bolting on additional bits just makes it worse.”

“Arrived on a flight from Bergen - unable to alight from the shuttle bus into the airport because people from previous buses were queued airside OUTSIDE the customs hall. Long, long queue for passport control, no help when the e-gate refused to accept my passport. The customs hall is gloomy, grubby and altogether a horrible place for visitors from abroad as their first taste of the capital. Ditto baggage reclaim and the exit to the outside.”

“Worst airport I’ve been to in years. We just arrived back home to Edinburgh after a holiday that saw us go through 4 international airports in Africa. All are vastly better than Edinburgh. On arrival back we waited 25 minutes at the carousel for our luggage and a further 40 minutes (yes 40!) for a taxi which is only taking us 15 minutes to our house. Apparently there’s a wee show going on at the highland centre and we can’t cope with a bit of traffic. Pathetic.”

“Once again despite an on time arrival, the lack of ground crew to allow a timely disembark was frustrating.We sat in the plane with doors open waiting for 35 minutes .How can you not be ready for a scheduled flight?This isn’t the first time the staff have been caught unawares of a scheduled arrival.The pilot and a stewardess eventually donned high viz vests and guided the passengers all of 30 ft from the bottom of the stairs to the waiting ..really in 2025 we are still using buses?The result was we have a line up of buses dropping lots of passengers at Passport Control all at the same time causing more delays and missed trains and connections .Honestly as the national airport we deserve and expect better.Not much of an first impression we are giving our foreign guests with this sad excuse for an airport.I won’t even mention the poor infrastructure just start with managing the resources properly that you do have. Must do better.”

“Bit of a dump featuring hardwood seats for the lucky few to occupy the few. Filthy floors. No traffic flow management with multitudes crisscrossing for arrivals and departures. Unclear signage adding to a general atmosphere of bedlam and confusion.”

“This airport provides an absolutely terrible experience. I’m sick and tired of travelling to and from here . It’s an awful experience. More and more passengers are subjected to a completely inferior service. I can’t think of one good thing to say about this excuse for an airport . Whoever is in charge , and the team there , need to be sacked . If they think that they’re providing a professional service , they’re delusional. Between checking in , security , border controls , collecting baggage , trolleys that need to be paid for ( £2 ) , expensive drop off / pick up zones . It’s a complete rip off. I can’t think of anything good to say about this airport . That’s based upon countless times that I’ve had over many years. It’s got steadily worse. So , stop deluding yourselves management . Make it a pleasant experience.”
