Edinburgh Airport customers have been told to prepare for queues as we head toward the busy summer season.
There have been major delays reported around the UK, particularly Manchester Airport, where airlines such as Tui and British Airways are telling customers to arrive at the airport at least three hours before their flight.
For those jetting off from Edinburgh Airport, the airport recommends that travellers arrive at least two hours before their flight to ensure they have time to check-in and get through security.

A spokesperson for Edinburgh Airport said: "As is common in airports given the nature of them, queues are to be expected at certain times of the day and we did warn last week that passengers should be prepared for queues as we enter the busy summer season, but so far any queuing has been kept to a minimum and airport teams have managed the situation well."
If you're unsure about how long it could take to get through security, on Edinburgh Airport's website, there is a security queue time checker. At the time of writing, you will only be waiting around six minutes.
Airlines allow you to check in online and if you need to check in your luggage, make sure you leave enough time to do so and get to your gate in time.
