Glasgow train station - Glasgow airport

[natty23]

Whats the best way of getting from Glasgow Central Train station to Glasgow Airport.
Looked on 'route finder' and its 19 miles.
Is there another train station closer to the airport?

Which Glasgow airport? There are two. You do NOT want to land up at the wrong one.

One of them has its own station; the other is more easily approached by direct bus from Glasgow City Centre.

ok :S what are the names of the two airports? coz my ticket just says Glasgow.
and which is the one with its own station?
thanks

Glasgow Prestwick Airport and Glasgow International Airport are the two. PIK or GLA will be on your ticket.

Prestwick has its own station 45-55 minutes from Glasgow Central - International is served by bus or via Paisley Gilmour Street station.

Prestwick is served by Ryanair and some other budget airlines, International by most others, including a few budget airlines.

You can either get a train to Paisley where there is a connecting bus or do what I do and get the shuttle bus from Glasgow city centre. It stops at both Queen St station and central station. Last time I took it it was about �5 open return. In an emergency you can get a taxi but the going rate is about �20!
