Edinburgh Airport (EDI) is the city’s primary international gateway, serving a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines on routes across Europe and beyond. Located about 8 miles (13 km) west of the city centre, it’s usually reached in 25–35 minutes by tram or taxi; the tram runs frequently with fares typically in a modest range, while taxis and ride-hailing can be quicker but cost more. Bus services provide a cheaper, slightly longer alternative. As a compact hub, the airport can be convenient for short transfers and city access, though peak times may be busy and onward travel in bad weather can add delay. Overall, EDI balances international connectivity with a generally predictable and accessible layout.

Moscow is served by several major airports that together handle domestic, regional and long-haul traffic. Sheremetyevo (SVO) is typically positioned as the primary international hub, commonly used by full-service carriers and often regarded as mid- to higher-priced for premium connections; it sits about 30–35 km northwest of the city center and is linked by Aeroexpress trains (about 35–45 minutes) and taxis or express buses (roughly 45–70 minutes depending on traffic), with fares for rail and buses usually modest and taxis variable. Vnukovo (VKO) often handles a mix of legacy and low-cost airlines and lies roughly 28–35 km southwest; it’s reachable by Aeroexpress (about 35–45 minutes) or road transport, offering a balance of convenience and usually competitive fares. Domodedovo (DME) typically operates as a major long-haul and domestic base with a range of carriers, located around 42–50 km southeast; Aeroexpress linkages take about 45–55 minutes, while car transfer times can be longer. Smaller airports like Zhukovsky (ZIA) and Ostafyevo (OSF) can serve charter and niche routes and may offer lower-cost options but with fewer amenities and connections. Pros across the network include multiple rapid rail options and broad carrier choice; cons can be distance from central Moscow, variable traffic delays, and differing levels of terminal comfort.
