Glasgow Airport parking and Glasgow airport hotel parking options
Glasgow airport is positioned 8 miles west of Glasgow City centre and is just off the M8 motorway close to the towns of Paisley and Renfrew and is the second biggest airport in Scotland falling behind Edinburgh airport only in the last few years, based on the volume of passengers going through the airport.
Presently 8 million passengers travel through the airport each year with Edinburgh now over 9 million for the year ending 2008. Glasgow airport does have the advantage of having two runways and in theory should be able to increase the number of destinations to travel to but clearly at the moment travellers seem to favour Edinburgh airport.
After the findings of the Competition Commission in March 2009, BAA which operates both Glasgow and Edinburgh airports, has been told to sell one of the airports and it will be intriguing to see which airport it puts up for sale. This will be to the benefit of the airlines flying out of Scotland, retailers and most of all the travelling public who for the first time will have a real choice. This will result in more competitive prices for Glasgow on airport parking. However, there are cheaper Airport parking Glasgow alternatives available by parking at one of the off airport car parks. Most of these car parks are all situated close to the airport with free transfers to the airport included and represent great savings.
Another option open to travellers flying from the airport is to book one of the Glasgow Hotels with parking.This usually works in one of the following ways. You simply drive to the hotel and your car is parked in a secure Glasgow airport car park compound and you are taken to the airport or after the night of your stay you travel to a secure car park where you are taken to the Glasgow airport.
