Flights to Glasgow from the U.S.

Flying to Glasgow is easy, and you can fly direct from some airports. We typically fly via London or Dublin, as there are more options on these routes. Flight time from NYC: 6.5 hours From London/Dublin: 45 minutes Best time to fly: Claire thinks the red eye is best to help adjust to the time difference (5 hours ahead of ET) How to book: Book flights as far in advance as possible to get the best prices. Google Flights lets you track flight prices over certain dates. Another good resource is Scott's Cheap Flights, which alerts you to cheap fares on the routes you want (https://scottscheapflights.com).

Getting around Glasgow

Cars and taxi services: Glasgow airport has all the usual rental car options. Remember to drive on the opposite side and no turning right on red! https://www.glasgowairport.com/at-the-airport/airport-services/car-hire/ Black cabs are reasonably priced. There are local taxi companies, too. Uber operates in Glasgow. If you have the app, it should work for you without issue. Trains and buses: Glasgow has overground trains and a subway, which Glaswegians affectionately call 'the Clockwork Orange.' The subway serves the inner city and West End. http://www.spt.co.uk/subway/ The overground trains take you further around the city, including to Claire's home in Bearsden (and to Edinburgh, in just 45 minutes). https://www.scotrail.co.uk/ Walking: Glasgow is a walk-friendly city, but it's also quite big, so prepare to use other means to get between neighborhoods.
