What you can expect

  • Pre-book bus transfers between Edinburgh Airport and the city center and take the worry and stress out of your journey to/from the Scottish capital. Vouchers must be printed and are valid on Airlink100 only.

    The buses are located just outside the main airport and are easy to find. They offer comfortable seating, generous luggage space, and free Wi-Fi to keep you connected. Enjoy all the comforts you require, with frequent daily departures on a dedicated express service between the airport and the city center.

    Sit back on the approximately 30-minute journey, whatever time of day or night you arrive. Buses depart at least every 10 minutes. Between 1:00 AM and 4:00 AM, journeys are operated every 30 minutes.

    The bus stops in both directions are as follows (except Princes St which is drop-off only):
    • Edinburgh Zoo
    • Murrayfield
    • Haymarket Station
    • West End – Shandwick Place
    • Princes St (drop off only)
    • Waverley Bridge

    Single tickets can be used for one single journey in either direction. You can board the bus at any stop.

    Return tickets have no expiry date and your return journey does not need to be booked in advance.
    Your voucher will be exchanged for a valid ticket - that is what you need for the return journey.
