Taxi? Are you kidding? I drive and park up - it costs less despite the usual airport car park fees. The cost difference in return flights can be around £150 and £200. It only costs an extra £10-£15 in petrol which is slightly offset by the fact that EDI’s terminal car park is actually slightly cheaper than GLA’s equivalent so travelling the extra 70 return miles is still a lot cheaper on many occasions. The biggest challenge is the time to catch a red eye at 0650 with the journey taking 80 mins instead of 40 depending on how clogged up EDI’s pathetic approach roads are. Now if PIK had an LHR service that would be a real bonus ......dream on!
