All direct flights from & to Glasgow (All Airports)

Flight Summary

Glasgow is served by two airports, Glasgow International, which is just eight miles west of the city centre, and Glasgow Prestwick, 30 miles southwest of central Glasgow, which is used almost exclusively by Ryanair. However, these distances can be slightly deceptive -- getting to and from Prestwick airport by public transport does not take that much longer than getting to and from Glasgow airport, because Prestwick has its own railway station, with twice hourly trains taking around 45 minutes. To reach Glasgow International airport from the city centre by bus takes around 25 minutes, although this journey can be subject to extensive delays on the Kingston Bridge. Recent years have seen the network of flights from Glasgow Prestwick being pruned back, whereas Glasgow International has held reasonably steady. Meanwhile Edinburgh Airport has been able to show strong growth, playing host to no-frills airlines Flybe, easyJet and Jet2, with Ryanair also now offering an expanding network of flights to Europe from Edinburgh. On the domestic front, Glasgow International offers flights throughout the UK, including an expansive network of flights to the Scottish Highlands and Islands. The network of domestic flights from Glasgow Prestwick is virtually non-existent. Between the two Glasgow airports, Europe is reasonably well covered, although you will find more flights to European city break destinations from Edinburgh. Glasgow International offers a handful of direct long-haul flights, although plenty of connections are also available via London or continental European hub airports such as Paris Charles de Gaulle or Amsterdam Schiphol.
