Ingliston Park & Ride to Edinburgh Airport
What the Ingliston Park & Ride to Edinburgh Airport drive is actually like
Ingliston Park & Ride is the closest low-cost parking to the terminal, one tram stop away on the airport line with more than 1,000 spaces off the A8 at the Royal Highland Showground. Being honest about a two-mile journey: the tram from Ingliston to the terminal is one short hop and almost always the right answer between 06:30 and 22:52. A car is worth booking when your flight falls outside tram hours, when you are moving a family and four cases the length of a car park in the rain, or when you are part of a group where one vehicle beats several tickets. We collect from a named row in the car park so there is no wandering with luggage.
Ingliston Park & Ride to Edinburgh Airport is 2 miles via Eastfield Road and the A8 airport approach, typically 8 minutes door to door off-peak. Cabslink quotes the journey as a fixed price before you confirm, so traffic on the day does not change what you pay.
