Airport Transfers in Ratho

Ratho to Edinburgh Airport is about 4 miles, usually 10 minutes. It's one of the shortest airport runs I do, and still worth booking: a fixed price, no waiting at the rank, and room for seven with luggage. On arrivals I meet you in the terminal and have you home before you'd have reached the front of the rank queue.
