Glasgow Prestwick Airport

Glasgow Prestwick Airport is a much smaller airport, used mainly by Ryanair. It is known for handling diversions, which is why it calls itself 'Britain's only fog-free airport'.

Prestwick has its own railway station, with 45-minute trains from Glasgow Central, and the Stagecoach X77 express bus runs from Buchanan Bus Station. Passengers with a booked flight can get a 50% discount on the standard train fare to and from the airport.

Heathrow Airport (LHR): west of London, about 25km from the centre, with British Airways flights at Terminal 5 and the Heathrow Express, the Elizabeth line, the Piccadilly line and bus services into town
Gatwick Airport (LGW): south of London, about 47km from the centre, with British Airways and easyJet flights and the Gatwick Express to London Victoria in 30 minutes, while a taxi or coach typically takes an hour or more
Stansted Airport (STN): a Ryanair hub north-east of London, with the Stansted Express, Terravision coaches and taxis to the city
