Terminal Information

Southampton Airport

Southampton Airport is small, with just one terminal open for check-in from 5am. The airport’s small size and some self-service check-in stations mean getting to the departures lounge is usually a quick and easy process. Passengers travelling on flights within the UK are advised to arrive an hour before their flight to Glasgow is scheduled to depart.

In the departures area, passengers will find a range of eating and shopping venues. The Glove Bar & Kitchen is a pub serving food throughout the day, The Olive Tree is a café bar for a quick bite to eat and there is also a Costa Coffee. There is a WHSmith and Moneycorp currency exchange as well as a duty free shop.

Passengers who would rather travel without their heavy shopping can make use of the Shop and Collect service offered at the airport. Great for fragile and heavy items or when a great deal is about to expire, Shop and Collect allows passengers to leave their purchases at the airport and collect them from a designated pick-up point upon return.

The quiet and relaxing Priority Lounge can be found upstairs in the departure lounge. For a charge, passengers can enjoy unlimited Wi-Fi, hot and cold drinks, snacks, and laptop charge points. You can either book online or purchase your Priority Lounge pass on the day.

Glasgow Airport

There are two terminals at Glasgow Airport. Flybe flights arrive to the main terminal (Terminal M). Passengers who need to pick up a last minute gift or stock up on supplies will find a duty free shop, a 24 hour Tesco Express and a Starbucks in the arrivals hall.

There are a number of car hire companies at Glasgow Airport including Avis, Alamo, Europcar, Budget, National and Enterprise. The car pick-up area is conveniently located just opposite the terminal building and the M8 motorway is in easy reach.

A variety of local buses leave from Glasgow Airport going towards the city centre. If the centre is your final destination, the quickest option is the Glasgow Shuttle which goes direct. The shuttle leaves approximately every 10 minutes, 24 hours a day, from outside the terminal building. Passengers can buy tickets from the driver or use their smart phones to purchase a ticket in advance.

Official Glasgow Airport Taxis, available 24 hours a day, are located in front of the main terminal building. If you decide to pre-book a taxi, they will wait for you at the pick-up point in Car Park 2, opposite the main terminal building.
