Edinburgh Airport is the city’s main international gateway, serving a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines that typically connect Scotland with Europe, the UK and transatlantic destinations. Located about 12 km (roughly 20–30 minutes by road) west of the city centre, it’s usually reachable by tram (about 30 minutes, fares commonly in a modest range), regular buses (30–40 minutes, economical fares), taxis and car hire. Transfers can be quick and convenient but may feel busy during peak times; budget travellers often find good value on the frequent coach services while business passengers may prefer the direct tram or taxis for speed. On the downside, the airport can be lively and crowded at peak periods; on the plus side, it offers a compact layout and solid public transport links to central Edinburgh.
Dubai is served mainly by Dubai International (DXB) — a major global hub for long-haul and transfer traffic, heavily used by full-service carriers such as Emirates and many international airlines — and Al Maktoum International (DWC), which is positioned more for cargo, low-cost and future-growth operations. DXB sits about 4–12 km from central Dubai depending on which terminal, with the Dubai Metro, taxis and ride-shares typically taking 10–30 minutes and fares often ranging from modest metro fares to mid-range taxi fares. DWC is farther out, around 35–50 km, with longer journeys by car or shuttle taking roughly 40–60+ minutes. DXB offers high convenience for connections and many amenities, while DWC can be cheaper and less crowded but requires more travel time; both can be comfortable depending on terminal and airline choice.
