The drive to Edinburgh Airport
From Stirling we join the M9 at Junction 9 and head south-east past Falkirk and Linlithgow. The M9 is the most direct road to the airport and rarely jams early in the morning.
We leave the motorway at Newbridge and follow the A8 for the last couple of miles to the terminal. Coming back we take the same road in reverse, and there are no tolls either way.

- Your driver waits up to 10 minutes at your door at no charge.
Coming home
- Add your flight number when you book. We check the landing time before setting off, so a delay doesn't cost you extra.
