    Hi all, might have to go to Edinburgh next week on my own dime, just wondering what's the least hassle-free (without a taxi) way of getting from the airport to the city centre - is there an Aircoach / Luas / Dart type system available? Or at a push, how much would a cab cost?

    They have an Airlink service that runs every ten minutes or so. It's 7 days a week, 24 hour a day. If memory serves me right, it's about thirty minutes travel time Edinburgh City Centre. And you can book a return ticket too. Which was £6 when I used it last year. I hope that helps.

    Yeah, bus is £3.50 one way or £6 return. Free wifi on board. We got the bus in but as we were leaving at 5am booked a taxi to take us from our hotel at Haymarket to the airport. Just under £30 :eek: Will stick to the bus next time, it runs 24 hours.

    You got done.

    It only cost me between £15 and £20 the three times i got a taxi from the airport to Haymarket last year.

    Saying that, the bus is great. Very efficient and you can get it on the road beside Haymarket too.

    Think it was the time of day, 4.45am. Premium rates
