About This Transfer
Edinburgh Airport (EDI) is Scotland's second city's gateway, handling over 14 million passengers a year across a single terminal. From Glasgow, the journey covers approximately 52 miles along the M8 motorway — Scotland's busiest road — with an estimated travel time of 55 minutes in normal conditions. Departing passengers are typically picked up from any address in Glasgow and dropped at the EDI Terminal set-down zone immediately outside the main departures entrance. The drive follows the M8 east through Baillieston and Newhouse before reaching the airport junction near Livingston. For arrivals into Edinburgh Airport, we track your flight — whether you're on a British Airways service, easyJet, or a transatlantic connection — and your driver will be waiting in the T1 arrivals hall with a name board the moment you clear customs. The standard 60-minute free waiting period applies. This is a popular route for business travellers who need to fly from EDI but are based in Glasgow. It avoids the hassle of connecting rail services (Glasgow Central → Edinburgh Waverley, then taxi or tram to the airport) and provides a seamless door-to-airport experience at a fixed, transparent price.

Pickup & Drop-off at Edinburgh Airport (EDI)
Edinburgh Airport operates from a single terminal. For departures, your driver drops you at the T1 set-down zone directly outside the terminal entrance on the ground floor — a two-minute walk to check-in. For arrivals, your driver meets you in the T1 arrivals hall immediately after baggage reclaim, holding a name board with your name. There is no extra charge for short-term parking on collections.
