Letter: Airport's folly
Add to this a screaming baby who just wanted to sleep in the pushchair and you can perhaps imagine what it is like trying to organise travel without some help.
By using the drop-off facility beside the terminal building we are able to help them when they visit. Yes, the drop-off is busy, but we find no problem with congestion and one just has to be patient if there is a queue. It moves very quickly.

Hide AdAir travel is difficult enough without the drop-off point being moved a distance from the terminal, charged for and expecting travellers to then board a connecting bus to the terminal.
It is inhumane to expect those in our daughter's situation to cope with this and I can also imagine how popular they would be, struggling on to the bus with all their luggage and a screaming baby.
Someone at BAA Edinburgh needs to review this decision. It is a recipe for chaos as well as a cruel additional problem for those for whom air travel is already a trial.
