Getting to the airport

Make your journey to the airport as easy as possible with a combined ticket.

Your holiday starts as soon as you lock your front door so we make it simple and convenient to get to Scotland’s main airports. A combined ticket covers your travel by rail and bus or tram.

Sometimes we partner with airports or airlines to offer an even better price for rail travel to get your holiday underway. Check the airport information from the menu below, or chat to station staff to see if there is an offer for you.

Always check your journey before you set off. For train travel use the Check Service function above and for other travel, take a look at: travelinescotland.com
