I once had to wait for like 8 hours there due of delay. had a good rest and plenty of food

Yeah I was told there are these "zwendels" going from the station up to the airport.
I guess it's well written all over the place, I visited the local train station today and I was told it's quite easy to find.
It's just the certainty that I'm looking for..

) so that kinda sucks.
I guess there's a bus from the trainstation to the airport. Idk, the airport is really small.
I always get travel jitters so I'm there like 1-2h early, I like to have a margin of error when I fly.
But if it's only 30 min away can't your parents bring you?
My parents are going away the day after (saturday june 13th in the morning) so they can't. They have stuff to pack (they work until thursday so). And they will be at my stepdads place for the night anyways.
My sister offered to drive me but she's currently finishing off law uni, so she's extremely busy this week. Can't afford to ask this from her.
Didn't ask other family members, but kind of cba with that

The guy at my local trainstation gave me the price €41,60. That's an open end return ticket, from Roermond (my local city) to düsseldorf. Valid for 2 months (I'm going 3 weeks) Then, the station I arrive at in dusseldorf is supposed to be only a few miles from the airport. So I can take a cheap train there, and then this sky elevator thing up to the airport.
But yea, I was told the airport is kinda new? Like not some old thing. Saw some sort of 3d picture, it looked rather big and new ish.
Just a little something I found out today. I can
not take my computer in my registered luggage, lols... and considering it's just too heavy for handluggage, I'm going to post my full suitcase (including everything else) to my friend 1 day before I go. Cost me about €80.
But takes €30 away from my flight ticket.
Booked the flight at Jet2 for €170 (any tips for future bookings maybe?), return ticket from dusseldorf directly to Edinburgh (vice versa for return trip). 1 hour 40 min flight.
Thanks for the replies guys :3
