What airports serve Australia from Glasgow?

Glasgow has two airports: Glasgow International Airport (GLA) and Prestwick Airport (PIK), but since Prestwick is more typically for short-haul, budget flights, most routes from Glasgow to Australia depart from Glasgow International. Glasgow International Airport is the main airport serving the city, and it has a conveniently central location. From the centre of Glasgow, you can hop on a train, then change to an airport shuttle and be at the airport in about 25min. In Australia, you'll have a choice of arrival airports, notably Sydney (SYD) and Melbourne Airport (MEL). At Sydney Airport, you can take a roughly 13min train directly from the airport to the city's central station, or (if the long journey has you tired) you can take an approximately 20min taxi ride. If you land in Melbourne, you can take the Skybus, Starbus or VHA shuttle to be in the city in 20-40min, depending on traffic and the number of stops on the bus route you take. You could also hop in a taxi at the taxi rank outside the airport.
