Edinburgh Airport (EDI) serves as Scotland’s primary international gateway and handles a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers, so fares can range from budget-friendly to premium depending on season and carrier. It sits about 8 miles (13 km) west of the city centre; the tram is a popular option taking around 30–35 minutes with single fares generally in the low-to-mid single digits, while buses take 30–40 minutes and taxis roughly 25–35 minutes depending on traffic and cost notably higher. The airport is compact and usually easy to navigate, with good rail- and road-links, but can be busy during peak tourist months which may mean longer queues at security and arrivals.
Shymkent International Airport (CIT) serves as the main air gateway for southern Kazakhstan, functioning as a regional international hub rather than a low-cost-only field. It typically handles a mix of national carriers such as Air Astana and low-cost/regional operators offering routes to domestic centers and nearby international destinations. The airport lies roughly 12–15 km northeast of Shymkent city center; taxi rides usually take about 20–30 minutes depending on traffic, while shared shuttles and local buses can take 30–45 minutes with fares varying from very low for buses to moderate for taxis. Pros: relatively compact for quick transfers and basic international facilities; cons: fewer nonstop long-haul choices and limited late-night services compared with larger Kazakh hubs.
