Excellent news for residents of Perth and Kinross planning their next holiday or business trip: FlixBus is launching a new express bus service directly linking the region to Glasgow Airport. Starting this Thursday, April 17th, the new route will provide convenient and affordable travel options for those flying from Glasgow.
This new route, part of FlixBus’s wider expansion across Scotland, is a significant development for Perth and Kinross, offering an alternative to driving or relying on often complex train connections. The service will include stops at the Broxden Park and Ride in Perth and the Castleview Park and Ride in Stirling, allowing easy access for residents across the region. Nine Daily Departures, Convenient Travel Times
With nine daily departures from Aberdeen, stopping in Dundee and Perth before reaching Glasgow Airport’s terminal one, travellers will have ample choices to suit their flight schedules. The estimated travel time from Dundee is approximately two and a half hours, allowing passengers to plan their journey with accuracy. The full list of departure times from each location (Dundee, Perth’s Broxden Park and Ride, and Stirling’s Castleview Park and Ride) offers flexibility for travellers.
The service will also benefit those arriving in Glasgow, with return journeys scheduled throughout the day and evening, including late-night options. This will be particularly helpful for those returning to Perth and Kinross after late flights, offering a more accessible and comfortable travel alternative. Affordable Fares for Airport Transfers
FlixBus aims to provide competitive fares, with initial prices starting at £4.49 from Stirling and £7.49 from Dundee to Glasgow Airport. While prices may fluctuate based on demand and availability, the service presents a cost-effective option, especially when compared with airport parking charges or other modes of transport. This makes travelling to and from Glasgow Airport significantly more accessible for budget-conscious residents of Perth and Kinross.
This new FlixBus route adds to the growing network of intercity bus services across Tayside, Fife, and Stirling, further enhancing connectivity within the region and beyond. It complements recent announcements by other transport providers, such as Stagecoach’s forthcoming St Andrews to Edinburgh Airport service and Ember’s electric bus route connecting Dunblane and Lochearnhead with Fort William and Edinburgh. These services collectively demonstrate a positive trend towards expanding and diversifying transport links across Scotland, making travel more accessible and convenient for residents and visitors alike.
This improved accessibility to Glasgow Airport opens up a wider range of travel destinations for Perth and Kinross residents. It also contributes to boosting local tourism, as easier airport access can encourage more visitors to explore the beautiful scenery, historical sites, and vibrant cultural scene of Perthshire. Whether it’s for business, leisure, or visiting friends and family, this new FlixBus route offers a welcome addition to the region’s transport infrastructure.
