Walk the remaining 300m down to the airport terminal or stay on and pay the full cost of 1 stop of £7.50.
Bottom line is Edinburgh Princes Street to Ingliston Park n Ride for 2 adults is £4.
Stay on one extra stop to the airport and it will cost you £15.
Get in a taxi for £25.

The map below shows it's 0.8 miles, plus another 200m to walk from the tram stop (marked in blue, bottom-right) to the starting point in the car park, so that's almost a mile to walk with your luggage.

Edinburgh Airport gouge travellers with drop off charges. £4 drop off at the terminal for 10 minutes. If travelling by car get dropped off at the long stay car park, it's about a 10 to 15 minute walk and free.this is also the best place to pick someone up."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/49953061","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"CleopatraNo.2"},"datePublished":"2023-04-09T23:13:22.000Z","text":"Does this work for heading back to Edinburgh from airport one way?

Anyways, so my dumb ass misread this whole post as taking the 100 Airport bus from Princes street and jumping off at the park n ride. Since the OP had written \"With rising costs you can travel to the stop BEFORE Edinburgh Airport \" (In my head I thought he was talking about the bus as I've always just taken the bus)
So I took the 100 Airport bus from the city center at 04:00 and when I asked the driver to drop me off at \"Ingliston Park n Ride\". He said \"sorry I don't go there, but I can drop you off at the Hilton hotel.\"
I was confused and I wasn't expecting him to say that.
Anyways I agreed, and paid by card, only for the ticket to be printed which showed I had been charged £5.50!!! I was angry and decided, I may aswell get off at the airport then!
-----
On the way back, I walked from the Airport to the \"Ingliston Park n Ride\".
I remember thinking there the 100 bus doesn't even go into the Ingliston Park n Ride.
I saw that the 200 and 400 bus did but neither of those goes to Princes street.
So I was very still confused.
It was only when I got home and I re-read this post and realised the OP was talking about the tram!
This is what happens when you miss a key detail.
But in my defense I had an early morning flight so had to head to the airport at 04:00 and the first tram of the day starts at 05:32 so this would not have worked for me anyways "},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/49952609","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"jim_Smith75n"},"datePublished":"2023-04-09T21:38:40.000Z","text":"One stop to help fund the council vanity project......

It’s extortionate and shocking that 1 stop costs that much. Also, the parking prices at Edinburgh Airport are extortionate. Every airport in the US and Dubai etc offer free drop off and pick up, yet every visit to Scottish airports is £4 a go. It costs more to park at the airport than to fly."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/49952771","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"hooray.henry"},"datePublished":"2023-04-09T22:07:41.000Z","text":"Saving a couple quid when youve just spent hundreds to get out of Edinburgh."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/49954111","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"GeneralTactifer"},"datePublished":"2023-04-10T08:46:43.000Z","text":"If you're going to be stuck, sitting down on the plane for ages, a little bit of exercise beforehand would be a good idea!"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/49952896","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"aerotec"},"datePublished":"2023-04-09T22:36:38.000Z","text":"Maybe not a deal as such but defo good to not pay this extortionate add on. So much for trying to promote public transport. They should force the pick up/drop off fee be used to subside the tram. I get off at the park and ride stop and walk it if a nice day. It takes me 12 minutes to walk to the terminal which is fine when you know you'll be sitting down for the next many hours.
When you get off the tram and walk up to the car park keep in a straight line. Past all the car charging points to the end. You then have to walk along a bit of the entrance road to get to the main road and then it's pavement all the way. I wouldn't do it if laden down with luggage but with a roll on its easy to do.
Other option is the airport bus. Was £7.50 return but recent price rise has made it maybe £8?"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/49952297","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"stevelong77"},"datePublished":"2023-04-09T20:25:26.000Z","text":"Is this a deal ?"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/49952760","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"walio"},"datePublished":"2023-04-09T22:04:48.000Z","text":"And if going to airport by a car/taxi I always get dropped at DoubleTree Hilton and just walk to the terminal.

Walk down to the airport and walk back up when your flight returns the same day . ( no overnight parking). I’ve seen it done by many people."}],"commentCount":52,"interactionStatistic":31,"articleSection":"Money Saving Tips and Tricks"}
