Glasgow Airport is an important international airport, located in the town of Paisley, about 16km west of Glasgow. Not to be confused with the smaller Prestwick airport, which always serves the Scottish city.
About 10 million passengers pass through this airport, making it, in fact, the second busiest airport in Scotland, and one of the most important 10 in the United Kingdom. Inside the two terminals, you will find numerous dining options, shopping areas, duty free, lounge area and more. The wifi line is available throughout the building.
