Edinburgh Airport © by HerryLawford
There are five Edinburgh airport parking lots to choose from. Two of the lots are off-airport grounds, but both offer a transfer shuttle service to get you to the terminal. The two off-airport lots are “Secure Airparks” and “Park & Fly.” Another other lot available to you is the ultimate in stress-free service – it is “Secure Airparks Meet & Greet,” and it is essentially valet parking at the airport. You simply drive up to the terminal and a driver meets you there. Then you hand over the keys and the driver takes your car to its appointed parking space while you go get yourself checked in for your flight!
Some information about Edinburgh Airport:

- Scotland’s largest airport at the moment is in Glasgow, but the Edinburgh Airport is planning to expand which could help it become the largest Scottish airport.
- WiFi is available, for a fee.

Alternative ways to get to Edinburgh Airport:
- Taxi: There are three places to catch taxis at the airport, and the trip between the city center and the airport takes roughly 25 minutes.
