Prestwick's last flights to Dublin departed yesterday, before Ryanair switched them to Glasgow International today.

I went out on Prestwick's afternoon flight and took some pics.


I live in Lancashire, so had to get up at the crack of dawn on Saturday morning to catch a train up to Glasgow Central, then another heading south to Prestwick Airport along the west coast.


The airport terminal is right next to the A79. The airport railway station (Scotland's only airport with a rail link) is on the other side of the road, with a passenger bridge connecting it to the terminal:






Plenty of parking space, both in front of the terminal (shown below) and another car park to the east.







When I arrived at noon, there were only six flights scheduled to depart for the remainder of the day.






The check-in hall was quiet:








Round the corner (still landside) are some shops and cafes, including a sizable WHSmiths and a Starbucks:










Just past these shops is Arrivals, which was empty. There's a baggage reclaim belt in the background. There are two other, bigger belts airside.





(continued in next post)
