Edinburgh International is Scotland’s fastest growing airport having opened in 2001 and now handling over five million passengers serving 56 destinations worldwide. There are more than 30 daily flights to London’s five airports, and you can fly to most European cities from Edinburgh Airport on scheduled and charter flights. You can obtain full details on all the airlines and holiday companies operating out of Edinburgh, where they fly to and their contact details.

There are plans to expand Edinburgh Airport by adding a further runway, although this is unlikely to be required within the next 20 years. BAA has recently made provision for an extension to the current runway, which would allow larger aircraft to serve longer haul destinations, and it is predicted that by 2030 Edinburgh Airport will be Scotland’s busiest, handling 26 million passengers every year.

Packing is an important part of your pre-trip planning. Leaving something behind may not be important if you’re heading off to a major destination where you can probably buy what you need. But travel well off the beaten-track (where the best adventures are usually found) and you could be in trouble.

Make sure you can easily identify you luggage. You can get something that has a unique colour or tie a coloured ribbon around the handle – anything that will make your stuff stand out from the crown. It will make it far easier to find in insode a mound of like coloured black backpacks or cases.
