DISCOVER A NEW WAY TO TRAVEL
GLASGOW AIRPORT IS CHANGING FROM 28 OCTOBER 2008
 
 
Regular travellers will notice a few changes to Glasgow Airport, as part of BAA Glasgow’s ongoing investment. From 28 October, all departing passengers will be routed through a new state of the art security search area. Once through security, passengers will be able to enjoy the full range of bars, shops, restaurants and lounges available in the main terminal.
 
Getting about
Finding your way around the new Glasgow Airport is easy.  Just follow these simple steps...
 
Check-in
Check-in desks are located in the main terminal (desks 1-39) and in T2 (desks 40-64). Flight information screens will let you know where you need to check-in for your flight.

Departing passengers
Once you have checked-in, follow the signs for 'departures' and make your way to security search, located on the first floor. There is now one central search area for all departing passengers.
 
Fast, efficient and safe
Your security is BAA’s number one priority. So Glasgow Airport has invested in new
technology, and a purpose built security search area, to keep passengers safely on the move.
 
Follow these simple steps and you'll be on your way in no time.
 
§         Pack any liquids in your hold luggage, if you can
§         If you must carry liquids, pack containers no more than 100mls in a clear, re-sealable plastic bag
§         Retain your boarding card at all times - you will be required to present this at security, and before you board your flight
§         Remove any coats and jackets and place them in a tray, along with any liquids
§         Do not carry any sharp items
 
Important note for travellers: As a result of BAA’s investment in new technology, passengers are not required to remove laptops from their hand luggage. Ask your airline how many bags you can carry on board your aircraft. Different rules apply.
 
 
 
 
 
Getting to your gate
Whether you’re travelling overseas, or in the UK, you’re never far from your departure gate. We recommend you allow this long to get from security search to your gate:
 
  • Gates 1-12   7 minutes
  • Gates 14-26 5 minutes
  • Gates 27-52 10 minutes
 
It’s all for you
Once you’ve passed through security, you can access the full range of shops, bars and restaurants available in the main terminal.
 
skylounge
What better way to unwind before your flight than with a trip to skylounge, now open to all departing passengers.
 
Follow the signs for gates '27 to 52' then follow the signs for 'skylounge'. Book your ticket at www.glasgowairport.com or pay at reception.
