Glasgow Prestwick International Airport
Glasgow Prestwick International Airport
(IATA: PIK), . This is about 50 km south west of Glasgow on the Ayrshire coast, is the city's secondary airport and a major hub for Ryanair (see Discount airlines in Europe) and several other low cost carriers. Ryanair fly into Prestwick predominantly from Ireland (Dublin and Shannon), London (Stansted), Paris (Beauvais), Frankfurt (Hahn), and with some useful routes from various destinations in Scandinavia and Eastern Europe. Ryanair also run various seasonal services to Mediterranean resorts. Note also, that some holiday charter flights fly into Prestwick rather than Glasgow's main airport.
The airport has its own railway station, with two trains per hour to Glasgow Central (show your flight paperwork to get a £3.20 half price ticket; the journey takes around 45 minutes). All trains to Ayr and Stranraer call at the airport. The A77/M77 roads run directly from Prestwick into the centre of Glasgow if you intend to drive.
The X77 bus also runs from Buchanan Bus Station to the airport throughout the day, and crucially covers the times (early morning and late evening) when the trains are not running.
