Glasgow is the gateway to Scotland’s islands. From here, national carrier Loganair travels to Islay, Barra, Tiree and many more. As tourists fly out, music lovers fly in: this Unesco City of Music has Scotland’s largest indoor music venue in the Hydro, an essential stop for touring acts and their fans.
From the centre of town, the Glasgow Airport Express bus runs every 15 minutes (or every hour during the wee hours), taking 15-25 minutes to reach the airport. It’s convenient, if expensive, and means that you’re not necessarily bound to airport-adjacent hotels for a pre-flight stay – a good reason to try something more boutique.
