I bought a ticket from Ryanair for a direct flight from Glasgow Prestwick to Portugal on the 21st at 10:00am. I usually go from Edinburgh, but there are no direct flights to Portugal and this one only cost me £30 (almost 1/10th of the cheapest one I found from Edinburgh [I only bought it last week ]). The problem is that I didn't know the airport in question is so difficult to reach. I am having a hard time diciding how to get there and was hoping someone might help me with this.
Basically the airport is about 30 miles south of Glasgow and transport is done either by bus, or by a direct train from Glasgow Central (usually free for Ryanair flights). The problem here is that on Sundays the first train only gets to the airport at 10:00am which is too late. And I don't believe there are any buses going there in the morning except for a special bus which leaves Glasgow at around 4:00am and arrives at 5:30am. If anyone has some experience with going to this airport I would much appreciate any help. At this moment I am considering going on the evening of the 20th and spending the night at the airport. I would just prefer not to do that seeing as I will be flying to Faro (Portugal) which is about 500 miles away from my home (Porto) and I have to get there on time for a High School reunion Christmas dinner at 21:00... :S
Thanks!
