Get away to Glasgow and enjoy the theatres, nightlife clubs and beautiful landscape.
Bustling with people, places to go, things to do and sights to see, Glasgow is regarded by many as Scotland’s friendliest and largest city. BAA Glasgow Airport (GLA) provides services to some 30 different airlines from 90 destinations around the world. If you’re hoping to make a trip for pleasure but your budget is tight, you can find cheap flights, cheap hotels and car rental with one search on Liligo.com.
You can also find good and cheap flights to Prestwick airport (PIK), to which Ryanair or Easyjet can take you for less than GBP 45.

The major airport, GLA, is open 24 hours a day every day of the year and serves more than 22,000 passengers every single day with more than 230 flights each day. Once you find cheap flights with Liligo.com’s search engine, you can set your itinerary and prepare to enjoy an excellent vacation time.

From GLA, you can take The Gilmore Street railway station in Paisley but you must use the local bus or taxi to get there. Glasgow Central rail station and The Glasgow Flyer is the bus service that runs 24 hours a day directly to the Glasgow’s centre. There is also metered taxi available at all hours. A direct rail link is expected to be complete for operation in 2010.

Cheap flights let you save money to enjoy more of what your vacation is about rather than pay for a pricey airfare ticket. Once you arrive in Glasgow, you can enjoy city buses and the subway to get around to delights such as the deep fried pizza.

Some things to take care of when planning your trip

To have a holiday without setbacks, it helps a lot to take into consideration what simple measurements can be done that would save you many bad shots.
First of all, always check your documents that will be requested at the entrance of your destination country, consult the competent government agency, and even if you do not leave the country, keep in mind that it is obligatory to carry along your identification papers. Moreover, many accommodations request documents at registration. You may also want to rent a car, so you'll have to take your driver's license with you (get informed about the international driving license, too). Do not forget your travel insurance, your health insurance card (we strongly recommend you to take your health card). There are some countries where a visa is required to be allowed to enter the country at all. But do not worry, in most countries you can enter and stay without visas or special permits for some months (usually 90 days).
A good tactic is to photocopy important documents you might need, so in case they get lost or stolen, it will be really useful. Furthermore, it is also a good idea to carry along two extra passport photos.

Thanks to the Schengen agreement, one can freely cross the borders of ‘Schengen countries’, so EU travellers travelling within this area won’t be asked to identify themselves. Even so, you should always carry along identity documents, because police might ask for identity checks, any time. The following countries form part of the Schengen Agreement:
Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Spain, Slovakia, Slovenia, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Holland, Hungary, Iceland (non-EU), Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Norway (non-EU), Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland (non-EU).
EU countries that do not belong to this agreement are: Bulgaria, Cyprus, Ireland, UK and Romania. Citizens outside the EU will need to apply for visas and documents to enter the Schengen area. The maximum length of stay for travellers is 3 months.
Bear in mind that some documents and visas are not that easy to get, one has to wait for them. Therefore it is recommended that you plan the travel and learn about these documents well in advance.

In addition to paperwork, when travelling within or outside the borders of the EU or the Schengen area, don’t forget to be informed of the required or recommended vaccinations in certain countries. If you know exactly the health care situation of the country which you plan to travel to, you can avoid many unpleasant surprises.
Again, please note that some vaccines require more than one dose, sometimes with large temporary spaces between them, so it is advisable to act well in advance. Be cautious with consuming food, especially fruits, and for your security, drink bottled water only.
Also, the maximum weight of your luggage is usually around 20 kilos –depending on the airline-, so it might be a good idea to make a list of most necessary things before packing your suitcase. Your passport (and anything fragile) is best to be guarded in your hand luggage that you bring along into the cabin.
Note that you can’t have scissors (or any kind of cutting or stabbing tools) with you, nor liquids of any kind (water, tee, juices and all types of cosmetics), or at least only a small amount.

Unfortunately, sometimes it happens that your luggage gets lost. In this case it might be helpful to have some clothes with you in your hand bag, until your luggage is found.
