Getting to Glasgow
Air
Glasgow is served by two airports; Glasgow Airport and Prestwick Airport.
Glasgow Airport is situated approximately 9 miles to the west of the City Centre. Taxis take around 20 minutes (longer during rush hours) from the airport to the city centre. There is also a cheap and frequent bus service which will take you into Buchanan Street Bus Station, only 200 metres from Glasgow Caledonian University.
Prestwick Airport is located 30 miles to the south-west of Glasgow close to the town of Ayr. Although further away it has a good train link with the city centre (approximately 40mins train journey, trains leave every 30 minutes), and since Prestwick is served by several of the low cost carriers it may be worth considering.

Glasgow has well established rail links with the whole of the United Kingdom and is served by a regular service from London and the West coast
