Glasgow Airport is one of the largest in Scotland and is used by Glaswegians and those across the country all year round.
However, many can get caught out by surprise charges when simply parking or picking up a loved one returning from their holidays.
This is why we have decided to answer some of the most commonly asked questions regarding parking and drop-off fees at the airport.
Is there a charge for drop-off and pick-up services at Glasgow Airport?

Glasgow Airport has express pick-up and drop-off zones directly outside the main terminal building perfect for those looking to come and go quickly.
Users will see charges of £5.50 for 15-minute stays with those wanting to stay longer advised to use the Short Stay car park.
Those staying for more than 15 minutes will have to pay a premium charge upon exiting.

Parking exists at Glasgow Airport for those going on short and long-haul trips.
Long Stay Parking is further away from the airport and requires those who have not pre-booked to pay a minimum of £50 for a three-day stay.
The full prices can be found on the Glasgow Airport website where users can also book their vehicle's stay.
Drivers can also use the Short Stay car park next to the main terminal which costs more (£55 for 24 hours).

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
