A new Glasgow Airport Bus link has now started for 2008 which takes you directly from the airport to the Kelvingrove Hotel for only £5 return for adults.
The bus drops you off at the corner of Derby Street and Sauchiehall Street and we are opposite no.4 on the map.
The bus will take 20 minutes from the airport and approx. 40 mins to the airport,
as the bus goes around the city loop and then out to the airport.
