Hi there,
Welcome to the second flight to Scotland from Paris. We booked it very very late, but finally we had good prices (150£ A/R each from CDG to EDI via MAN with Flybe, and a 23kgs lugage!!). That's my first time in Scotland, in EDI and MAN airport and with flyBe!
First, let me apologize for my english skill.
This is the rounting:

The window is very dirty (like stain of fat). I didn't manage to clean it.

It's noon, and we didn't push-back. But a few minutes then, our engines started to run.

But quicly, we approach a dense cloud:

Inside of it

It moves a lot during 10minutes. The BoB didn't have a lot of success.
Then, we start our descent

We cross the clouds.

And we fly over the sea after à left turn. It's an east approach.

We fell that the plane is flummoxed. There is a lot of wind outside, and with a little plane you know…
The land appears, we're not very high.

Descent of the plane on foot and we reach the terminal. A lot of wind, it's very cold (from 30° at Paris we are now at 9° !!).

Let's go to the baggage claim.

Buuut, obviuosly, our luggages remained at Manchester. We go to SwissPort counter, we fill a form. Finally, our luggage will be delivered tomorrow morning at our home (we did a house exchange between Scotland and Guadeloupe, so we stay at a beautiful appartement in the hyper-center of Edinburgh!!).
Control tower again from outside.

Then we go to the tram.


photo img_4030photo img_4032

Nothing to say about the tramway. Clean, quick.. But, little trick. If you take the tram at the airport station "Airport", you'll pay 6£/person simple traject, very expansive. If you walk straight ahead when you get out the airport, then you walk along the road (about 1miles, 5-10minutes) and go to tram station before "Ingliston Park&Ride" then you'll pay only 1.60£ simple traject. An oconomy of 2.40£, for only a little walk along the road (there is a footpath). And in 20minutes, you're at Princess Street for only 1.60£ ! Amazing!
This is the end of the report, thank you for reading despite of my bad english level.

  • Thanks for sharing. It is always a hassle to get back your luggage when a connection is too tight due to a delay. Did you receive it in time?

  • Thanks for the translation effort !

    (You forgot some leftover French in the conclusion - it happened to me too ;)
