Glasgow Airport Guide

Unlike Prestwick Airport, Glasgow International is located very close to the city centre, so if you're on a short break to Glasgow you won't spend too much precious time travelling to your accommodation in Glasgow. The airport is only eight miles away from the numerous major attractions.

The airport is located on the prime motorway network and is also served by a range of public transport options - key routes having recently been upgraded to improve service, quality and frequency.

By Car
By road The M8 Motorway via Junction 28 gives easy access to and from the airport. The airport is about 20 minutes drive from Glasgow City Centre and about two minutes from Paisley, the nearest town. You can drop off passengers outside the terminal building, but if you want to see them off, you will need to use one of the car parks.
