All about Glasgow Airport
Glasgow, while it was an afterthought for decades, has quickly become one of the most popular travel destinations in the UK. This Scottish city is filled with epic landmarks like Glasgow Cathedral and Kelvingrove Park, and it functions nicely as a base for exploring the countryside and getting in a round of golf at some of the world's best courses.
With a solid music scene and highly underrated restaurant landscape, Glasgow hardly just brings in history buffs and golfers. Younger travelers have discovered Glasgow as a more affordable and convenient place than London for enjoying the UK’s contemporary culture.
Flying directly into Glasgow is rare, as the majority of international travelers will fly into London Heathrow and then take the train up to Scotland. But Glasgow International Airport is perfectly serviceable, and you'll be able to get right to enjoying the city center by using the bus or a quick cab. This makes the Bounce luggage storage service all the more useful for travel days or when you want to maximize your sightseeing time on a layover or before a new flight.
