By car
Edinburgh Airport is about eight miles west of the city centre. The entrance is reached from the A8 Glasgow Road, and is close to the M8 and M9 motorways.
The A8 airport junction is between the Gogar and Newbridge roundabouts. If you're approaching from Edinburgh, join the A8 from the city bypass and head towards Glasgow. If you're coming from the north or west, join the A8 at the Newbridge roundabout and head towards Edinburgh, then follow signs for the airport.

Picking up and dropping offIf you're collecting passengers by car, please follow signs to the Pick Up Zone and park in the designated area (on the ground floor of the multi-storey car park). You're then a short walk away from the UK/Ireland or International Arrivals halls.
If you're dropping passengers off at the airport, follow signs to the Set Down Zone, which is next to the multi-storey car park and directly opposite the terminal building.
The Pick Up and Set Down lanes are clearly signposted on the airport approach road – please do not enter the green lane, which is for public transport and other authorised vehicles.
Car parkingThe Short Stay Car Parks are signposted from roads into the airport, and are a short walk from check-in and arrivals.
Edinburgh Airport Long Stay Parking is a short courtesy coach ride from the terminal.
