How to get from HK airport to Lippo Centre, Tower One?

How long does it take to get out of Edinburgh airport and into the centre?

  • Hi, I'm flying into Edinburgh in a couple of days time, and my flight arrives at 1pm. Assuming it arrives on time, how long do you think it will take to get into the centre of Edinburgh using the Airport bus service which I believe go every 10 minutes. Also, I have hand luggage, so I won't need to wait for baggage reclaim, if it lands at 1pm, is it possible I could be in the centre for 1:40 or is that optimistic? Cheers

  • Answer:

    There is one over-riding advantage to landing at Edinburgh Airport and taking the express coach into the City Centre - at most locations where there are traffic jams, there are bus priority measures. Lothian Buses Express Coach service 100 will have you at Waverley Bridge in Edinburgh within half an hour. So arriving in the city centre by 1.40pm is quite possible, provided your flight is on time. However, a word of warning. Because of the tram works on Princes Street, you will only be only to alight at the western end of Princes Street. Oh, and an afterthought. Do NOT take Lothian Buses service 35 from the Airport - unless you want an (un)guided tour of the western suburbs of Edinburgh!

It is possible to be in the city centre by 1:40 pm but it will depend on how lucky you are. If you land on time and you get straight onto the 100 Airport Express, (£3.50 single, £6.00 return) you could be in the city centre on time but it will be close. A taxi will be quicker into the city centre, but only by a few minutes and will cost £15.00.

We just few into Edinburgh a few weeks ago, and it was a 14 pound cab ride from the airport, and seemed to take about 15 minutes. It did take longer and cost a few pounds more getting back to the airport b/c of traffic, but getting away from the airport was easy. You can also take Lothian busses from anywhere in the city for a pound 20. Or 3 pounds for a day pass, which is nice.

It takes 25 minutes on the airplink bus, number 100. So say an average wait of 5 minutes (coz it leaves every 10 minutes) & 10 minutes to get through customs, that means you will be in the city centre dead on 1.40pm. Simples.
