A few airport reviews from the archives

"Early morning flight - and whilst there is a bus that leaves Glasgow bus station out to Prestwick that would have got me there in time, I left it too late to book - and the bus was full. Besides which - it costs about 3 pounds on the train, and it would have cost over 10 to get the bus (with early morning taxi to bus station as well - no tube running).
Anyway - caught 2nd to last train down - there's an area upstairs that is somewhat dimly lit and has a fair number of seats (without armrests) lined up together. Think it is worth getting there before the last train - there were quite a few folk staying the night so it was good to get there early and get a space to lie down.
Lots of heavy duty cleaning going on in other parts of the airport so it was a bit rowdy, but at least it wasn't underneath the seats near me. If i'd bothered to get out my earplugs am sure it would have been fine - was a remarkably comfortable night all in all. Definitely recommend as an option (although if you want to book the early morning bus check out www.gpia.co.uk)"

"My brother and I slept over night at Prestwick airport as we had an early flight out to Prague. This Glasgow airport is a shit hole, but hell we were going to Prague so it was all good. Even better, in fact, because randomly two friends from university where also staying over night to fly out to Florence the next morning as well! It was, uncomfortable, cold, noisy, and everything was closed. Pretty hellish but we made it through the night, and cos our flight was at 7.30, we went to check check-in times at 5. Nothing on the screens, so super pissed I went up to an airport worker to complain. Apparently there are no flights to Prague from this airport..... Glasgow has two airports, and the other (much nicer one) is an hours drive away. We missed our flight, looked retarded in front of friends, and much much worse, spent a night in Glasgow Prestwick airport for NO reason. Don't go there. It's awful."
