In the build-up to the school holidays, we take a look at the common pitfalls around parking at Glasgow Airport and others across Scotland.
The airport has a number of options ranging from long-stay parking to drop off.
Pick-Up and Drop-Off
If you need to wait longer than 10 minutes, the long-stay car-park is a better option as it can be used for free for 30 minutes.
The pick-up/drop-off car park does have a charge of £45 if you remain in the zone for over 30 minutes, so if a flight is delayed or if there is an issue, it is best to move on to another carpark.

Short stay parking
The short stay car park is best used if you are meeting someone who has just landed or waiting before a departure. Again, if less than 30 minutes the long stay is a better bet.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
