Flights to Glasgow

[MementoMori]

I did a thread about getting flights ages ago but half my threads have disappeared probably because they were gay.

Anyway, my BF's going Uni in Glasgow and I don't leave for NZ 'till the end of October so I'm gonna be flying up to see him.

But I've never taken a flight before by myself and I don't know what to do.

I'm gonna be using FlyBe, is that good or bad?

So how do you get from booking (probably online) to sitting on the plane?

Is it complicated or am I just stupid?

Hope you can help, and thanks in advance.

We must stop meeting like this!

I've flown to Glasgow Prestwick before, which is a bit out of the way compared with the city airport, but the principles are the same.

Most of the budget airlines simply give you a confirmation screen or email to print out, with a booking number on it. Swagger up to the checking-in desk with that and your passport, and they'll give you your boarding pass and check in your hold luggage. All that remains is to go through security with your hand luggage (remembering to avoid looking like you are a crazed muslim fundamentalist - facial hair is a no-no) and wait near the correct gate for your flight. (which will almost certainly be delayed!)


Easy Peasey! Just make sure you don't fall foul of any strange security rules they may have in place there.

Every month my son fly's with bmi baby,from glasgow airport to east midlands airport and back(college).

Have a look at bmibaby.com.

I book online as said above,he takes his drivers licence and copy of email with booking number on it.

glasgow city airport is easy to get to and from
there is a bus service every 15 minutes from outside the arrivals
that takes 20 mins to get you to the city center and very close to the Uni its self
you go to buchanan street bus station and I think you can acctually see the Uni building from there

I have never flown flybe but they look Ok
booking is easy Esp online just pick the flight and time
give them your name etc and your flexible friend's number
print off the details from there or from the confirmation E mail
turn up at the airport (a few hours early these days) pick up your ticket
and your done

you can look at Easy bucket (easyjet.com) for cheap flights into Glasgow City airport

Oo eck... alright then haha.

Thanks for all the info. Strangely, only FlyBe does flights from Birmingham to Glasgow but they should be OK.

So yeah I think I'm pretty much sorted now if I just manage to get to the right check-in desk thingy.

Thankyou!
