Edinburgh airport guide

Get your trip off to a flying start with Virgin Atlantic at Edinburgh Airport. From check in details to airport facilities for departures and onward travel information for arrivals, don't stress - we've got it covered.

Top tips for travellers

Which terminal?

  • There's only one terminal here, so no need to worry.

    When does my flight depart/arrive?

    • Unsure of your timings? It's best to be safe than sorry. Check your departure and arrival time with our handy Flight status tool.

      Your departure gate information at London Heathrow will become available roughly 60 minutes prior to your scheduled departure time. 

      Flight status

      What time should I arrive at the airport?

      • Leave those last-minute airport dashes to the big screen! We recommend that you arrive at least three hours before your flight is due to leave.

        Do I need a visa?

        • Check out our visa information pages which include the latest travel restrictions for every country we fly to.

          Visa information

          Online check in

          • The best way to check in is online where you can pick your seat and print your boarding card. If you’re travelling with carry on baggage only, you can print off your own boarding pass and we’ll see you at the gate.

            Check in online

            Counter check in and bag drop

            • Check in starts from four hours before departure and closes one hour before departure.

              Baggage allowance

              Cash less policy

              • We no longer accept cash payments. Please bring an alternative form of payment for any additional charges or fees that may apply.

                Connecting flights

                • Bags tagged to their final destination do not need to be collected. If you're arriving on a domestic flight into Edinburgh, simply follow signs to flight arrivals.

                  If you're arriving into Edinburgh on an International flight, you'll need to clear immigration and customs and then proceed back through security. Flight information screens will display your gate number.

                  Accessible travel
