Best Answer

Glasgow and prestwick airports both serve Glasgow but are in completely different locations. Glasgow Intl. Airport is in the village of Abbotsinch, near Paisley and Renfrew and Prestwick is in the town of Prestwick, Ayrshire. Glasgow Intl. is bigger and has more airlines (Continental, BA, Easyjet, Thomson etc) and Prestwick mainly accomodates for the low cost market (Ryanair and Wizzair). Prestwick has a direct rail link to Glasgow city centre but with Glasgow intl. you will have to take the bus to Paisley Gilmour Street station and trains run from there to Central. If your looking for a low cost, easy to get to place, go Prestwick, if your travelling mid/long haul, want to be nearer to the city and don't mind taking a taxi, the Glasgow Intl.

When did the Concorde land at Glasgow International Airport?

Concorde landed at Glasgow International Airport many times. I have been able to pinpoint a few notable instances. 11 October 1981 - The first scheduled flight from Glasgow to London started with a visit by Concorde. This commemorative cover documents the event. And here is picture of Concorde at Glasgow that day. 30th August 1983 - The Glasgow - London Super Shuttle service started using the Boeing 757 rather than the older Trident 3. To mark the occasion, Glasgow was visited by 3 Concordes simultaneously. Nearby Prestwick International Airport was used for pilot training by British Airways and Concorde as a common sight there. Sometimes, short training flights would take place between Prestwick International Airport and Glasgow International Airport.
