Getting There By Air
Generally speaking, the cheapest and quickest way to travel to Scotland from outside the UK is by air. There are direct flights to Glasgow International airport almost hourly from London's Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and Luton airports. There are also daily flights from provincial UK airports and from Dublin. The cheapest flights leave from London Luton or Stansted, plus a few provincial airports, with Ryanair, easyJet and Go. If you book on-line, fares with these carriers can be as little as £5 one-way during promotions (although taxes can bump up the price quite considerably), but usually you can expect to fly for under £50 return. These tickets are often subject to rigid restrictions, but the savings can make the extra effort worthwhile. Cheaper tickets usually have to be bought at least a week in advance, apply to only a few midweek flights, and must include a Saturday night stayover. They are also non-refundable, or only partly refundable, and non-transferable. A standard flexible and refundable fare from London to Glasgow or Edinburgh will cost at least £150-200 return. There are direct flights from several European cities to Glasgow International: including Amsterdam, Brussels, Copenhagen, Gothenberg, Madrid and Zurich. Ryanair flies to Glasgow's second airport, Prestwick, from London Stansted, Frankfurt Hahn, Dublin, Brussels and Paris Beauvois.
From North America
There are direct flights to Glasgow International from New York Newark (Continental Airlines), Chicago (American Airlines) and Toronto (Air Canada). There are also flights from many other US and Canadian cities via London. Icelandair flies to Glasgow via Reykjavik from Boston, Halifax, Minneapolis, New York, Orlando and Washington. Northwest Airlines flies via Amsterdam to Glasgow from Detroit, Memphis and Minneapolis, with onward flights operated by KLM UK. Because of the much larger number of flights to London, it is generally cheaper to fly there first and get an onward flight. For low-season Apex fares expect to pay around US$400-600 from New York and other East Coast cities, and around US$500-700 from the West Coast. Prices rise to around US$700-900 from New York, and up to US$1,000 from the West Coast in the summer months. Low-season Apex fares from Toronto and Montreal cost around CAN$600-700, and from Vancouver around CAN$800-900, rising to CAN$750-950 and CAN$950-1150 respectively during the summer.
