About Glasgow
Glasgow's primary airport.
Glasgow Airport is the second-busiest in Scotland and serves the west of the country, including a substantial Highland and Hebrides catchment via inter-Scotland connecting flights. It handles around 8 million passengers a year out of a single terminal.
The carrier mix includes British Airways, easyJet, Jet2, Ryanair, KLM, Lufthansa and Loganair (the Highlands and Islands carrier). Routes are predominantly short-haul European and UK domestic, with seasonal long-haul to the US and Caribbean.
The airport's site is reasonably open with several major roads (M8, A8) feeding in from central Glasgow, Paisley and the M77. Parking is generally cheaper than at Edinburgh and a touch quicker to access from the city centre by car.
Getting to GLA
By road
M8 junction 28 directly serves the airport. From Glasgow city centre, allow 20-25 minutes off-peak.
By rail
There's no rail station at the airport. The Glasgow Airport Express (bus 500) connects to Buchanan Bus Station and Glasgow Central via the M8.
By bus / coach
The Glasgow Airport Express (bus 500) runs every 10 minutes, 24 hours a day. Coach services also link the airport with Glasgow, Edinburgh and beyond.
Also worth knowing
Plans for a rail link have been discussed for years but no station is currently in service.
The parking landscape
How parking works at Glasgow
Glasgow Airport runs six official options: the Terminal Multi-Storey directly opposite the terminal, Priority Parking on level 2 of car park two with covered access and priority security, Mid Stay on Sanderling Road (a 5-minute covered walk, pre-book only), Long Stay on Arran Avenue (under 8 minutes on foot or a free shuttle that runs 24 hours), Valet Parking for trips of 7 days or more, and Pick Up & Drop Off inside the terminal multi-storey. The airport lists its car parks as card payments only.
Off-airport operators cluster along the A8 and around Paisley, with several sites near Inchinnan. Independent shuttles typically run every 7-12 minutes and beat the airport's long-stay rates by 25-45%.
Pro tips
Tips travellers wish they'd known
- The Long Stay shuttle runs 24 hours, and the car park is also under 8 minutes on foot from the terminal, so a late return is not a problem.
- The Inchinnan-side off-airport sites are usually the closest to the terminal in shuttle time.
- Express bus 500 is far cheaper than a taxi from central Glasgow if you're not driving.
- Express Drop-off at the forecourt is a flat £7 for up to 15 minutes (no free period), for a free drop-off use the Long Stay car park (up to 1 hour free) with its shuttle bus.
- Glasgow's long-haul options peak in summer, book 6+ months ahead for transatlantic seasonal services.
