The one service that matters
- 8.50 GBP single on service 500, the Glasgow Airport Express.
- Twenty four hours a day. Glasgow is one of the few UK airports where the express bus never stops, which removes the early flight taxi problem entirely.

Paying
- The First Bus app is the cheapest and quickest route.
- On the driver by cash or contactless works without preparation.
- Check the price before you tap: First publishes leaflets per timetable period and the fare has moved in recent years.
No train

- Paisley Gilmour Street station is close by and reachable on local buses, with frequent trains to Glasgow Central, but with luggage the 500 is simpler.
