WiFi & Connectivity
Stay connected at Edinburgh Airport — free WiFi, eSIM options and local data for United Kingdom.
Airport WiFi at EDI
Registration required to connect — look for the sign-in page after joining the network.
UK eSIMs (giffgaff, Three, or global providers like Airalo/Holafly) activate instantly at EDI and give steadier speeds than the terminal network during peak departure banks.
Edinburgh Airport's current wifi page just says 'connect and browse away,' but past registration flows have asked for name/email and capped sessions around 2 hours — treat the free network as a backup for a long international layover, not your primary connection.
