bristol to glasgow cheap?

Question

Is there a cheap option or one that doesn't take literally half a day?? And don't say drive!!

Answer 1

I'm afraid competition for the route from Bristol International to Glasgow has been poor since BA sold the route the FlyBe (around 12 months ago) and FlyBe decided not to operate the route.
Since this I believe there are only 3 flights to Glasgow per day, previously there were about 7. Prices have soared since and don't look like coming down until more routes are established; however flying still remains by far the cheapest and quickest method.
Only Easy Jet now fly to Glasgow from Bristol and flights are usually full.
An alternative maybe to take a less popular route which has more options. For example try looking at flights to Jersey (probably cheap this time of year) and then a flight from Jersey to Glasgow. Another idea might be to fly to Dublin, then to Glasgow; I believe there are plenty of flights/options for both legs (see Ryanair), and as you leave the UK you can avoid some of the taxes on the outbound flights from Dublin. P.s. you don't need a passport to fly to Dublin, it's exempt but don't ask me why???.
I'm afraid these alternatives aren't likely to take less than half a day, although they should be considerably more relaxing than driving or going by coach.

Answer 2

Dep Bristol 20:00 Arr. Glasgow 06:15 journey time 10hrs 15min
Dep Glasgow 23:00 Arr. Bristol 09:15 journey time 10hrs 15min
Standard Advance Return £64.00
Standard Return £72.00 (you can sleep on the coach that way you're not actually loosing time)

National rail
Saver £125.00
07:29 + every 2 hours for a direct train from bristol and takes 5:50.
last direct train from Glasgow is 13:45 and takes 9:29 (the 15:20 non direct train is quicker 7:54)

Or you could fly!

Answer 3

Fly Easyjet from Bristol to Glasgow, with a choice of 3 flights per day.
Cheapest flight in October, is £21.99 one way, on the 31st.
However, there are one way flights, throughout November, from £17.99. These prices are fully inclusive of all taxes etc., and, of course, the real bonus is that the journey time is only 1hr 15mins.
Hope this helps.

Ryanair - the excellent fees with them, interior the close to destiny, are sixteenth - twentieth September, at £fifty seven.ninety 9 or twenty third Sept., twenty 6th Sept., third Oct. & seventh Oct., all at £32.seventy 9. those fares all contain taxes, are one-way and are from Prestwick to Girona. whilst you're seeking to bypass quicker, you ought to evaluate going from Glasgow airport to Barcelona. Flyglobespan - Wednes. twenty 9th August, fee £40 4.ninety 9, or Mon. twenty seventh, Tues. twenty eighth & Thurs. thirtieth August, all at £fifty 4.ninety 9. as quickly as back, all fees are such as taxes and so forth., and are one-way. opposite to what others have instructed you Easyjet do no longer function an instantaneous flight to Barcelona airports from Glasgow.
