Edinburgh Airport (EDI) is the city’s main international gateway, typically serving a mix of low-cost carriers and network airlines — think easyJet and British Airways alongside regional operators — rather than acting as a major long‑haul hub. It sits about 6–8 miles (10–13 km) west of the city centre, with tram and express bus links usually taking around 25–35 minutes and local buses a little longer. Tram fares tend to be higher than buses, while taxis commonly take 20–30 minutes and can cost noticeably more. The airport is generally modern and convenient for short stays, with good budget options; downsides can include busy peak periods and fewer direct long‑haul services than larger hubs.
Birmingham is mainly served by Birmingham Airport (BHX), a regional international hub handling a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers for business and leisure routes; fares can be competitive compared with London but vary by season. BHX sits roughly 12–15 km southeast of the city centre and links directly to Birmingham International rail station via a short people-mover—trains to New Street usually take about 12–15 minutes and commonly cost a few pounds. Taxis take around 20–35 minutes depending on traffic and typically cost in the mid‑£20s to £40s, while coach services are cheaper but slower. Nearby alternatives include East Midlands (about 60–80 minutes by car, often favoured for budget airlines) and small Coventry/other general aviation airfields (mostly charters and training). Pros: good international coverage and fast rail links to the city; cons: peak crowds and occasional higher transfer times during rush hours or NEC events.
