Edinburgh Airport (EDI) is Scotland’s main international gateway and typically handles a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines, making it a common choice for both business and leisure travellers. Located about 8 miles (13 km) west of the city centre, the airport is usually reached in roughly 25–35 minutes by tram or taxi and about 30–45 minutes by bus; tram fares to the centre can be moderate while airport buses are often cheaper. Taxis and ride-shares provide faster but generally costlier transfers. Check-in and facilities tend to be modern and convenient, though busy peak periods can bring queues; the compact terminal is generally easy to navigate, but budget-focused services may mean fewer premium lounges.
Belfast is served mainly by Belfast International (BFS) and George Best Belfast City (BHD). George Best Belfast City sits closest to the city centre and usually handles short-haul and regional flights operated by carriers such as Aer Lingus Regional and easyJet; it can be perceived as more convenient but sometimes pricier for last-minute fares. Transit to the centre takes about 10–20 minutes by taxi or 20–30 minutes via the regular bus services with typical fares in the lower single-digit pounds. Belfast International functions as the larger, more budget- and leisure-oriented airport, with a higher share of low-cost and charter operators; it’s around 20–30 miles northwest of the city, so plan for a 25–45 minute drive depending on traffic or a 30–60 minute dedicated bus transfer with modest fares. George Best tends to be more comfortable for quick business trips, while Belfast International can offer more route options and lower base fares but requires extra travel time.
