Clearly zero effort or skill has been applied to this...good news the airport is expanding but this is disturbingly rubbish. I am always quite embarrassed and irritated when touching down in Scotland from European airports, especially from Scandinavia.
Do consultants actually get paid for producing this....who were they??

Re: Food court image...are they serious?....having a cocktail?....at an airport?....in Edinburgh?!....ooooft!...any guesses? £20 - £25?

The top image looks like someone nipped round to Ikea in their lunch hour.
The interior and exterior of Edinburgh Airport is a real dog's breakfast.

Heathrow's T5 was built for £4.3m... why waste £220m on Edinburgh as it is - knock it down and start again!

#2 the centrally located cocktail/ prosecco bar is a must have requirement to enable social climbers to be 'seen'....the same people who normally occupy the speedy boarding queue on a budget flight.
Has anyone from Edinburgh Airport actually been to other airports?
Anybody know who the consultants on this are?

" I am always quite embarrassed and irritated when touching down in Scotland from European airports, especially from Scandinavia."

Arrivals and baggage claims are dated but not badly, though I have had to wait almost 1 hour for a bag - exactly the same time it took to get from London by plane. The current interior is piecemeal with a new and sleekish area going towards the tram and side entrance to the car park with the rest not having changed in 15 years.

Copenhagen airport splits passengers into Shengen and non-Schengen, the Shengen part having the shops and restaurants. It is not that nice inside, it is functional but not wonderful. Oslo Gardermoen and Helsinki are brighter and use natural light (something Edinburgh could use a lot more of), Schiphol is much better, but a major hub (as is Copenhagen) than Edinburgh is. I like the open garden area upstairs, the museum, the play areas and things to do. The shops are as poor and overpriced as every airport is. Having a major rail interchange inside the airport is something Edinburgh will never have. Edinburgh could learn a lot from Schiphol apart from the long delays from non-Schengen to Schengen transfers, which are often 30-60 minutes with a lot of queue jumping (including me).

Obviously not been to Terminal 5?
Once you have, you might want to check your facts, and then move the decimal point 3 places.

Heathrow T5 cost £4.2 billion. Not million. Though they do sound similar.

#7 My mistake... however, still... knock it down and start again.

@ #9
Good point Bojangles, that will probably only cost £220,000.

I wonder if this time airline passengers have been given precedence over shopping outlets - or is the route to departures even more elongated to include more shopping temptations? Perhaps some escalators to help passengers with their ever increasing hand luggage to get from tarmac level to passport control and baggage reclaim might suggest that Edinburgh Airport is moving out of the aviation backwoods. Perhaps a visit to such as (even) Pisa could open Edinburgh (International -
really?!!)Airport managements' eyes to the consideration given to travellers over shoppers.

That woman with the red bag gets about a bit. See also 'Finnieston bulks up with latest flats proposal' on 23rd Jan 18.
