Claire MApril 5, 2018The airport is probably bigger than you realise, leave plenty time to get to your gate. A quick pint in the Sanderling is tradition. WiFi is free for the first hour and easy to set up.Upvoted Nov 28, 2024
Laura BuechelerFebruary 16, 2015Very good connection to Glasgow city with the 500 first bus and the best thing- with the app you can simply buy the tickets on your phone!Upvoted Dec 22, 2024
Adam B.September 30, 2017The cheapest way to/from the airport is take a bus 757 McGill's to Paisley Gilmour Street and then train to Glasgow Central. It costs only 3,5ยฃ and takes around 35 minutes.
If getting picked up and your lift is late, get them to pick you up in the holiday inn car park - it's free for 15 minutes and warmer to wait at
The fastest airport you'll ever use. It takes me about 7 mins to get from the door to the gate. This is including luggage check in, passport and security checks. Similarly on the way out 5min max- If you arrive at domestics and are getting picked up at the drop off walk all the way along the check-in desks and exit at international arrivals to stay inside from the elements for a little longer
Franky and bunnies is good to grab something to eat while waiting and if your in a hurry let them know and they'll rush you through
Ron JeramiahOctober 15, 2017Cool International airport with good eats and shopping. Easy to get through and Security is very friendly unlike USA ๐
Have always loved this airport. Pleasure is dramatically increased if you have two yellow roses from your husband's Mum sticking out of your purse. :-)
Good airport that is constantly getting better. Plenty to do post security
Jeff BaarsAugust 2, 2013The shuttle bus to the centre is as fast as a taxi and stops on quite a few places in the centre... Singles are only ยฃ6 vs ยฃ20-ยฃ25 taxi
Chris PalmerAugust 5, 2019Free tap water at weather spoons, refill your plastic bottle save money and reduce plastic ! ๐๐ผ
Aye Thiri KyawSeptember 4, 2015When u get a taxi from here use hampden cab. I paid only 15ยฃ from west end to glasgow airport. 01413325050 u can track taxi online too.. and tesco is 24 hour open
Senite8June 5, 2024Lovely airport with nice shops, cafes and restaurants. Lots of seating areas. 8/10
Longing for the intimate touch of another human being? Try leaving your keys in your pocket while going through security and be treated to a complimentary pat down
Aleksandra MergoMay 17, 2017There's free wifi for 1 hr, Tesco before security has normal prices + fill your own empty bottle using a distributor located on your way to the gate for free
Jacob Van De WeertSeptember 25, 2024Weirdly no water fountains, but plenty of pubs to grab a whisky or coffee and graciously ask your bartender for a pre-flight bottle fill up.
Eddi CoJanuary 17, 2016looks old fashioned domestic airport but inside is one hell of a world class airport :D
Andrew TurnerJune 22, 2014Kids soft play area near gate 27. Quiet and secluded for little ones to run around.
- Mark JansenMay 7, 2012First airport I've come across that has a Tesco Express! Some good views of the runway from the main departures concourse.
- When two loonie's tried to drive bombs into the terminal several years ago it was Glaswegian taxi drivers who crashed into them and then pulled them out for a few punches!
xelsterMay 7, 2024Single ticket to Paisley on bus 757 is adult2.80, child 1.60. From there one can get a cheap train to Glasgow station.
JulieMay 14, 2013Using the massage chairs? Don't put your legs in or they'll cut off your circulation :)
2014 prices: Taxi to city around ยฃ22, Bus ยฃ8.50 return (within a month) or ยฃ6.50 one way. Dodgy taxis are cheaper, possibly, but risk dodgy behaviour.
Flat PackApril 11, 2017Eat at the local Wetherspoons as it's better and much cheaper than the hotels !
Loriah PopeJuly 26, 2017The 10โฌ express bus has chargers on it and will take you directly to city centre.- Marvin AndujarMay 10, 2019Small and easy airport to navigate through. It is 15 minutes away from the Marriott Glasgow Hotel.
Every flight should start from Glasgow airport, no queue getting through security during Monday morning commuter rush hour :-) pah, who needs heathrow
The immigration counters for non-EU passports upon arrival have increased. So now non-EU tourists and students will not have to spend hours waiting to get through the immigration!
Good airport, lots of places to eat, never too crowded....
The arrivals area was bit small, disappointing and the airport is very busy. Departure area full with food options. Security area just works.
Lucy GonzalezMay 3, 2016Going through security was quick and efficient. Free wifi for an hour, but you have to register
Adhith ShanmugamSeptember 14, 2014Free wifi.Please be early for Easy Jet flights.There is a Starbucks in the boarding lounge.
- Marci S.May 6, 2013Update on the shuttle bus: 6 one way, 8 return, free wifi. No credit cards (despite the signs) at the time of my visit. 20 minutes or less to the centre.
Checkin in for Emirates flights and asked for cheeky upgrade. Wasnt available but got better offer... Put into airport hotel D B&B t + 2 free rtn flights to Mauritius...Don't ask don't get .
Markus M.September 1, 2013Took the CityLink Bus to Fort William. Book early and you'll get there for ยฃ5 instead of ยฃ22.
Inflight FeedDecember 19, 2012Don't miss the free security zip lock bags just before the entrance to departures!
There's a tesco express at the exit from arrivals to pick this essentials after your trip.
- Dr.AnnaFebruary 3, 2014Try to choose weekdays flight. It's cheaper than the weekend. At least , avoid Sunday.
Philippe LouJune 14, 2017Small airport. Enough shops to make tourist shopping. Not long lines, easy to access gates.
Park at the BP garage if you are waiting to pick someone up. If the police see you waiting in the Drop Off zone you will be given a ticket!
On departure gates use the meal-deal of boots it's for 3,79 one of the cheapest.
