I've been here many times, great experience as of now.
Is a small airport, really straightforward. Even if small, there are some businesses to eat, buy souvenirs or the usual duty-free. Before passing through the first ticket reader, you have a Rangers and Celtics shops. There is even what I think is a resting room, just a medium sized place totally empty with carpet, I've seen people resting there on the ground, many big airports around the world should do the same.
Bonus point is that you don't need to take electronics out of your bag for the security, which is a must in many other airports.
Tip: Bus line 500 takes you to Glasgow City Centre, cheapest option (I think is around £8 one way) and fast. If you want to take a car, walk 3-5 minutes and book an Uber, will be around £7 cheaper, as per what I've been told by the drivers, is best for the occupant and for the driver, as that is a fixed number added directly by Uber. Airport to Glasgow City Centre should between £20 and £30.
The airport is so much easier to navigate and get through security than glasgow thanks to it being smaller and a lot less flights. Only downside is once you pass security there is a bar, a small duty free shop and a wh smith. The whsmith is an absolute rip off. 3 soft drinks and 3 bags of crisps cost over £21. It is £4.50 for a bottle of coke. They can obviously charge what they want since they are the only shop and you cant take liquids through security. Shame on wh smith!
A disaster from start to finish, what should have been a smooth easy process took hours to get through security! The security only had one lane open and the queues were massive, the second lane could have been open - compared to Glasgow and Edinburgh it was slow and far too warm for public to stand in! Very little staff one once through security and had no time to sit and relax before our flight! Will definitely stick with Glasgow and Edinburgh airport
Excellent service from all the staff at Prestwick airport. Easy check-in, security etc. We were on an early morning Ryanair flight, it all went perfectly. Will definitely use this airport & Ryanair flights again.
Disappointed with Prestwick Airport. It seems to be one of the only airports in the UK still enforcing the outdated 100ml liquid rule at security.
The lounge is absolutely freezing, the toilets were dirty, the place is just a dump. Charging £5 for a coffee on top of that only made the experience worse.
