Airports in the Glasgow area

Two commercial airports serve Glasgow — main international GLA close to the city, and Prestwick in South Ayrshire 32 miles south. Ryanair runs Prestwick as its Scottish base, which means it's often the cheapest departure point for Spain and Portugal.

Split your search: If your route is on Ryanair's Prestwick list (Alicante, Malaga, Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Palma, Faro, Dublin, Kraków) always check PIK alongside GLA. The saving can beat the cost of the 45-minute train.

Common questions

Glasgow flights FAQs

Which Glasgow airport should I fly from, GLA or Prestwick?
Glasgow International (GLA) has ten times the traffic, the full range of airlines (easyJet, Jet2, BA, KLM, Emirates, TUI) and better transport links. Prestwick (PIK) is essentially a Ryanair-only airport — worth checking if Ryanair flies your route (Dublin, Alicante, Malaga, Tenerife, Gran Canaria) because it can be cheaper, but the 45-minute train from Glasgow Central can offset the saving.
Is Glasgow Prestwick Airport actually in Glasgow?
No — Prestwick is in South Ayrshire, about 32 miles southwest of Glasgow city centre. The free train station inside the terminal connects to Glasgow Central in 45 minutes. Ryanair markets it as a Glasgow airport because most passengers are from the Greater Glasgow catchment.
Can you fly direct from Glasgow to the US?
Direct US services from GLA have been limited in recent years. TUI operates seasonal flights to Orlando (Sanford). JetBlue has added seasonal GLA–New York JFK for summer 2025. Otherwise connect via Heathrow, Amsterdam (KLM) or Dublin (Aer Lingus with US pre-clearance).
How do I get from Glasgow city centre to GLA?
Glasgow Airport Express bus 500 runs every 10 minutes from Queen Street and Buchanan Bus Station, takes 15–25 minutes, £10 single. Taxis are £22–£30. Uber is typically £18–£25 depending on time of day. There's no train link (unlike Edinburgh).
Is Glasgow cheaper to fly from than Edinburgh?
For package/beach routes yes — TUI and Jet2 operate heavily from GLA, and Prestwick's Ryanair pricing is usually the cheapest in Scotland. For city breaks with easyJet, Edinburgh is slightly cheaper thanks to a bigger base. Always compare both with a single search.
Which airlines fly from Glasgow Prestwick?
Prestwick is essentially a Ryanair monopoly — around 15–20 routes covering Spain (Alicante, Malaga, Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, Palma), Portugal (Faro), Ireland (Dublin) and select city breaks (Kraków, Bratislava, Warsaw, Carcassonne, Brussels Charleroi). Schedule varies seasonally.
