When booking, provide your scheduled ferry arrival time as well as your flight departure details.
We recommend allowing a sensible amount of time between your ferry arrival and flight departure to account for possible delays, road conditions and the journey to Edinburgh Airport.
## Mull to Edinburgh Airport via Oban
Many visitors travelling from the Isle of Mull return to the mainland through Oban before continuing to Edinburgh Airport.
We can arrange your vehicle to collect you from Oban Ferry Terminal after your sailing arrives and take you directly to Edinburgh Airport.
This avoids having to carry luggage between the ferry terminal, railway station and other transport connections.
If you're travelling from Mull or another island, provide your ferry details when booking so your collection can be arranged around your planned arrival into Oban.
## Choosing Your Airport Pickup Time
Allowing sufficient time to reach Edinburgh Airport is particularly important when travelling from Oban.
In addition to the normal driving time, you should allow for the check-in and security time recommended by your airline.
A journey of this distance can be affected by traffic, roadworks and weather conditions.
If you're connecting from a ferry, additional contingency time is sensible in case your sailing is delayed.
If you're unsure what collection time would be suitable, provide us with your flight departure and ferry arrival details when requesting your quotation.
