Prestwick Airport Mini Guide
Prestwick Airport was the original airport for Glasgow and opened in 1934. After many successful decades it was superseded by Glasgow International Airport, closer to the city. The advent of budget airlines meant that it could become the low cost option for Glasgow bound travellers but it also means that the highlights of the west coast are easily and cheaply accessible by hire car. Transport to Glasgow centre is very efficient with a train service accessed by Prestwick’s own station, reached by walkway over the A79 from the terminal building. The only other option worth considering is to hire a car if you’re looking to explore outside the city.
