Airlink

Once we got our ticket situation figured out and onboard it was easy going from there, from Edinburgh airport to city centre! The driver was helpful in letting us know which stop was ours too, ya know being unfamiliar and all.

Great views along the way!

Best transportation from the airport to Edinburgh city center and stops between. The double decker bus has free WiFiI, USB charging points & gives you a chance to see the city and surrounding areas along the way.

At 4.95 GBP you can't beat it and it's only 30 minutes from the airport to the last stop at Waverley bridge. I wish every city had one of these!

When I stayed in Glasgow the easiest way to get to Edinburgh Airport was via the CityLink bus that goes from Buchanan Bus Station. Now that I don't live in Glasgow any more, the easiest way to get to Edinburgh airport is to take the train to Edinburgh Haymarket station and then to get this Airlink 100 service to the airport from there.

It's more of a hassle, sure, but it does the job. Tickets are £7.50 return which isn't too bad and the service is pretty frequent even late at night and early in the morning. From Haymarket it only takes about 20 minutes to get to the airport too, so that's not bad.

The seats are comfy, they have luggage racks and free WiFi. They even have TV screens and announcements so it's really easy to know where you are, which is handy if it's dark outside or if you don't know the area. Oh, and the bus drivers I've encountered have always been really nice.

This is THE preferred form of transport from the airport into the city.
Very affordable and reliable.

The area thing is that it drops you right in the city center at Waverly Station where you have access to the train station, taxis and rick shows if you choose.

Very easy to use and a direct line to the airport. I hopped on at Waverly, but it was interesting, there was another 100 bus right behind the one I was trying to get on. The second bus guy was trying to get me to wait 10 minutes for his when this was ready and I said thanks but I need to get to the airport. Maybe he was thinking of the other stops along the way that had a lot of travelers that were also going to get on this bus and he was trying to parcel it out. Not sure. But, for 7# you can get on in the heart of Edinburgh and it will take you directly to the airport. Found the bus clean and comfortable.

Just brilliant. This is the best way to get from Edinburgh Airport to the centre of town by Waverley and vice versa. The shiny new trams are perhaps easier if you have heavy luggage but are no faster than this.

It's reliable, regular (departures every 10mins) and offers some stunning views on the drive out of town - my favourite place to sit is on the front row left on the upstairs deck. There are other stops along the way if you need to be dropped closer to Haymarket, or even out by the Zoo, but a return journey for the full route is now £7.50 which can be bought on the bus.

I've given directions to the bus to all my family and friends that have travelled up to visit me when I've been on my Edinburgh secondments and they've all found it comfortable and so easy to use. So don't throw money away with a £20+ taxi fare next time you visit, and brave the Airlink bus!

The Airlink is a simple way to get to the city centre from the Airport or vice-versa. Buses depart every 10 minutes from both ends (Waverley Station being the city centre terminus) so you will never have to wait too long. It takes about 30 minutes, which is five minutes faster than the tram.

On the way, it stops at places like Haymarket Station, the Zoo, Murrayfield and the Hilton near the airport. It can get quite tedious when you are always stopping but it isn't too bad.

There is free wifi on board but it only seems to work when the bus is at a stop. There are also CCTV-monitored luggage racks which are good as they will see who leaves and lifts luggage.

Apart from the limited wifi, the constant stops and the annoying tendency to get stuck in traffic on Princes Street, I think it is quite a good way to get to the airport. It is also cheaper than Glasgow's airport express bus!

Fastest and stress-free way to get to the airport from city centre. It takes about 30 minutes from Waverley station to the airport and the bus offers free wifi.

The buses are easy to spot since they are the only blue double deckers driving around the city. There's space for luggage in the lower level, but none in the upper level. It makes multiple stops along their route, including Edinburgh zoo and ends at the airport. The start point is the airport and the end point is Edinburgh city centre, vice verse.

I prefer taking the bus than the tram, but it also depends on the traffic. As of May 2016 the return fare is £7.50 and can be bought in the bus. Make sure you have cash because they don't accept credit cards.

This is by far one of the easiest airport-downtown links I've seen. Mostly because the Edinburgh airport is rather simple and the big blue bus is hard to miss!
The trip takes about 30-45 minutes and drops you off on Waverly Bridge, just outside the central train station. This is more or less central to most of the hotels in the downtown area. There are plenty of taxis at the station if you need a ride for the last few blocks.
Get a round trip ticket and save some money. Cost is L6 for round trip, 3.5 one way.

The airport bus is quicker and cheaper than the tram to the airport. The bus has free wifi, charging plugs and lots of space for luggage.

The bus goes from Waverley Bridge to the Airport in 25 to 30 minutes. It's currently £4.50 single and £8 return. Buses run from 4am to midnight every 10 to 15 minutes.

It also stops at Haymarket, Murrayfield and Mayberry, so you can get on further along the route if that suits you better.
