Pre-booking online typically secures better rates than paying on arrival, and the airport recommends arriving with adequate time to park and reach the terminal.

Arrival & customs tips

International passengers arriving at Edinburgh Airport will pass through UK Border Control before collecting baggage. Ensure your passport and any required visa documentation are readily accessible. After baggage reclaim, proceed through customs—use the green channel if you have nothing to declare or the red channel if carrying goods above duty-free allowances. EU, US, and other eligible nationals may use e-Gates for faster processing. Allow approximately 20-45 minutes from landing to reaching the arrivals hall, depending on queue lengths and flight size.
