Departing from Edinburgh: airports and terminals

Edinburgh Airport (EDI) is the sole international departure point for this route, located approximately 5.8 miles west of the city centre. The airport operates from a single main terminal, making navigation straightforward for passengers catching transatlantic flights. You can easily reach the terminal from central Edinburgh via the Edinburgh Tram link or local bus services.

American Airlines, Delta Air Lines and JetBlue fly direct to New York from this terminal, and United Airlines also serves New York from Edinburgh. The single-terminal layout means all check-in desks, security clearance, and departure gates are housed within the same building, providing access to various shops, restaurants, and relaxation areas before boarding.

Arriving in New York City: from the airport to the city

Flights from Edinburgh to New York City typically land at one of three major gateways: John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), or LaGuardia Airport (LGA). If you land at JFK in Queens, the AirTrain connects directly to the New York City Subway system for your onward journey into Manhattan. Taxis and private hire vehicles are also accessible from designated pick-up zones outside each terminal.

Passengers arriving at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey can utilise the AirTrain Newark service to connect with rail links heading to Manhattan. LaGuardia Airport mainly manages domestic traffic, but some connecting flights may arrive here, with local buses providing links to the subway network.

Entry requirements for the United States

Entry rules for the United States are set by the country itself, and a few minutes on them before departure saves trouble at the airport. UK passport holders need the ESTA authorisation, applied for on the official site a few days before travelling. Your passport must be valid for the whole stay.

The consulate or the FCDO travel advice pages carry the current version.

Things to do in New York City

A trip to New York City offers countless attractions across its diverse boroughs. You can visit the Empire State Building to ascend to the observation deck for panoramic views of the skyline. For a break from the urban environment, Central Park provides a vast green space ideal for walks, picnics, or a visit to the local zoo.

Taking a ferry to Liberty Island allows you to see the iconic Statue of Liberty up close. Many visitors combine this with a stop at nearby Ellis Island to explore the history of immigration to the United States. These landmarks represent just a fraction of what you can experience during New York holidays from Edinburgh.
