 | Glasgow Flights and Airline Tips | 1 - 10 of 10 |  |
There are two airports in or near Glasgow. The first is 30 miles to the south west in Prestwick (see my Prestwick pages), Glasgow Prestwick Airport, and there is a train that runs each half hour from the airport to the centre of Glasgow that takes about 50 minutes journey time. If you arrive by Ryanair this is the airport you will fly into.
The main Glasgow Airport is to the West of the city. It is possible to get flights to pretty much anywhere from here. If you are travelling with Easyjet you will fly into this airport.

Fly! the airport is only 10 min by car, there are plenty of taxis outside, and a bus service runs you to city centre there is also a good train network and buses from all over the UK
Buses there are hundreds of them going to all parts of the city. (try www.firstglasgow.com for info) they have recently introduced a FIRST DAY ticket for ?2.20 which you can use on all their buses all day.
There is also a limited underground (subway) system which is cheaper and faster but as i said limited. There is a travel centre in St. Enochs Square where you can get timetables for all services.
A car is only a good idea if you plan to use Glasgow as a base, as the city (like most) is busy with traffic (remember we drive on the left:) and there is a confusing one way system which has recently changed and even i dont know where i'm going lol. Theme: Airplane

Take the airplane to Glasgow airport and then the airport bus to Buchanan street. From Buchanan street you can move on with the underground or a bus. If you want to go outside Glasgow take a bus from Buchanan street station or a train from Central station or Queen Street. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

Due to a remarketing of Prestwick Airport, Glasgow now has two airports.
Glasgow Airport is on the SE fringe of the city and has been expanded several times in recent years to now have a well equiped terminal. Access to the airport is only by road - may have a raillink one day but only after countless feasability studies.
Glasgow Prestwick International Airport is according to thier website "just 32 miles from Glasgow City Centre". Edinburgh Airport is only 39 miles away, perhaps it can rebrand to Glasgow Edinburgh Airport? Anyway despite of this it has an excellent road and rail links into Glasgow. Theme: Airplane

Two airports service the Glasgow metropolitan area, Glasgow International Airport and Prestwick International Airport. Prestwick is a bit far from Glasgow's city centre and requires you to take a train to get there. Glasgow International is a mere bus ride from the city centre. From Prestwick, you can fly to the major European cities with the budget airlines. Glasgow International on the other hand is the gateway to the United States and connects to the other big airports in Europe.
To get to Glasgow Int'l, take the citylink bus. To go to Prestwick Int'l, you must take a train in the direction of Ayr. Leave a Comment

is there still no budget flights to finland, perhaps the budget flights to Estonia now are better value. check flights www.finland.glasgowhostel.pl or www.estonia.glasgowhostel.pl or the prestwick airport website

this is the main entrance to Glasgow Central Train Station - on Gordon Street.
Use this way, not the side routes, at night, for your own comfort and safety.
As you can see the building architecture is very pretty, so walk around with your head held high to see the best! This is an hotel, as usual. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

For those of you needing to get from one train staion to the other, it can be very worrying, so this tip is to help you walk it, confidently, along a pleasant route.
It takes about 10 minutes, with a rucsac, if heavy bags - take a taxi.
From Central Station come out the main entrance (Gordon Street) and turn right. Walk onto pedestrianised streets.
(This photo is of Buchanan Street, looking back South. Gordon Street is to the right of camera, walk down this to reach Central Station).
Continue walking away from Central Station(east) passing the bookshop on your right (the Old Exchange), down a small but lovely alley, bringing you to the Gallery of Modern Art (Queens Street) and many street cafes, then turn left to George Square. With the Square infront of you, you will see Queen Street Station opposite and to the left of the Square.
This route avoids nearly all traffic. It can take a few hours if you want of course!
