Posted: April 17 2024 | Tagged: United Kingdom
From the Buchanan Bus Station in Glasgow City Centre, there are 2 bus options to Glasgow Airport:
Both are run by First Bus.
All details correct as April 2024.
- #77 Glasgow Airport
- #500 Airport Express
Both are run by First Bus.
All details correct as April 2024.
First Bus 500 Airport Express:
The one-way fare with the First Bus 500 Airport Express is £10 and is scheduled to take 25 minutes. It runs every 15 minutes, 24/7.
If you are in a hurry this is the better option for you.
I was a bit miffed as all searches came up with the 500 Airport Express option.
The term 'Express' is synonymous to the keywords, "more + expensive".
99% of the time, there is a cheaper option. A non-express option. You just have to find it. The absence of the word express means 'cheaper', though, of course, it will be more time-consuming.

Here is the bus timetable for the 500 Airport Express from the Buchanan Bus Station:
First Bus 77 Glasgow Airport Bus:
The First Bus 77 Glasgow Airport bus takes a less direct route, has more stops and takes more than one hour. It doesn't run 24/7 but mostly on the hour and half hour and the fare is a bit cheaper at £6.30.
It runs from the Buchanan Bus Station in Glasgow City Centre but as I was staying at the StaySafe Charing Cross Hostel, there is a stop literally a few minutes walk away on bath Street.
