Meeting at the airport
Edinburgh Airport does not have an official meeting point but many passengers find the airport information desk (in International Arrivals) or the Onward Travel information desk (UK and Ireland arrivals) convenient points to meet friends and relatives.
There are also Costa cafés in both domestic and international arrivals areas, ideal for meeting travellers from their journey.
