Flights to Glasgow

A flight from London Heathrow, London Gatwick or London City airports to Glasgow Airport takes around one hour and 35 minutes.

To avoid higher prices and crowds, book a trip for late spring or early autumn, when cheaper flights and quieter attractions are more likely. 

You can take the shuttle or local bus from the airport into Glasgow, or a taxi straight to your hotel. They’re available outside the airport terminal, and it takes about 15 minutes to reach the city centre.

You can also hire a car with British Airways if you want to see more of what Glasgow has to offer. You’ll receive great benefits, with all mandatory charges included and 24-hour customer support, plus you’ll collect Avios points every rental.  

Compared with Scotland’s capital Edinburgh, Glasgow is a slightly cheaper destination, but you can always adjust your budget to fit the type of trip you’re looking for. Fill your itinerary with free museums, like Glasgow’s Gallery of Modern Art and donation-based attractions such as the Botanic Gardens. Most of all, Glasgow is very easy to explore on foot, so you won’t need to spend money on taxis to see the sights.

From the excellent museums to the passion of its two famous football teams and the beat of the busy bar scene, Glasgow is a thriving city with lots to offer. Once you’ve ticked off the history and interesting architecture on offer, think about exploring neighbourhoods away from the centre like Merchant City and Finneston – they’re both packed with cafes and independent shops. Of course, Glasgow and haggis are synonymous, so a trip here wouldn’t be complete without ordering a portion with a side of neeps and tatties.
