Things to Know Before Flying from Glasgow

Airport location: Glasgow Airport (GLA) is in Paisley, Renfrewshire, around 7 miles west of Glasgow city centre, with direct access from the M8.

Getting to the airport: The Glasgow Airport Express (service 500) runs between the airport and the city centre. The nearest railway station is Paisley Gilmour Street, linked to the airport by the McGill's 757 bus. Allow extra time at peak road times.
