Will end a month-long Scotland trip in Glasgow in late Sept. To fly home from there. Any suggestions on lodging in Glasgow's West End that will be convenient to the airport????

I stayed downtown near George Square. There is a bus that will take you straight to the airport. So, no need to stay at the west end in order to get to the airport. Now, if you want to stay out there for the music or other entertainment, that is a different story! I stayed at the Premier Inn at George Square, which was actually a block east.

If you're taking a taxi to the airport, the West End will work fine. But if you want to take the airport bus, stay downtown.

If your stay in Glasgow is just overnight to catch your flight, there's both a Holiday Inn and a Holiday Inn Express immediately on the airport campus. I've stayed at both and they are fine; Holiday Inn actually very very nice. You drop off your rental car and are literally walking distance from the terminal, with a covered walkway to wheel your luggage.
I believe there are also 1 or 2 other budget-level hotels within a stone's throw.

No need to stay out at the airport -- stay in town and enjoy your last evening. Pam's recommendation is a good one. Getting to the airport is quick and easy (and cheap).

Will have a day, perhaps two, in Glasgow before we fly home.
Our first visit to Glasgow. Given the traditional things to see and experience in the
City, and need to get to the airport early for a 10:30 a.m. flight, am trying to narrow lodging focus on either West End or downtown. No car. Will be using public transportation. Thanks for any and all ideas.
