Glasgow to Edinburgh Airport taxi
£103.16 fixed from Glasgow city centre to Edinburgh Airport, about 1 hour 23 mins door to terminal, and the same price back. Cheaper than two people on the train and tram once you count the taxi at each end, and a lot easier at 5am.

Glasgow to Edinburgh Airport: the run
Straight out on the M8 to Junction 2, onto the M9 for one junction, and into the airport from the west. 1 hour 23 mins from the city centre in normal traffic; from the Southside, West End or East End add or subtract a few minutes and the form gives your exact fixed fare. The M8 can slow between Newbridge and Hermiston in the evening peak, so we build that in when you book for a flight.
Why people choose it over the train: a 6-seater at £109.56 works out cheaper than four or five rail-plus-tram tickets, it's door to terminal with the luggage in the boot, and it runs at any hour including the times the first train doesn't.
