"I'm actually still sitting at one of the internet kiosks as I write this in Edinburgh airport!!! It's currently 7.34am and my friends are due any minute!
First time sleeping in an airport, and I have to say Edinburgh has a fantastic airport for this need!!! I wasn't bothered once by any member of staff, (cleaning or security), there was a 24hr coffee shop with food, internet kiosks for 3/30mins, and of course, the glorious armrest-free couches that allow you to lie back and catch some Z's.
There were a few minor problems such as, the lighting, as in most airports is very bright so you need to cover your eyes with something! I slept with my head under my hoodie. also earplugs are a MUST!!! It's quite noisy at night with the cleaning crews etc, and the fact the coffee shop is 24hr means that there is constant noises from it!
I tried two different spots during my stay, the first and best, was near the coffee shop and UK arrivals. It was safe, (there was about 20 other people sleeping there!!!) and comfortable. the other location was at the international arrivals, it was more quite, but there was no one in the area so it didn't feel as safe.
Overall I'd give it a 9.5 out of 10!!!! If there was a TV somewhere it would have been perfect!!!!!!
Go Edinburgh!!!"
