Top to toe pampering at Glasgow Airport
August 10, 2008
The good thing about staying in a hotel near Glasgow Airport is that you are unlikely to miss your flight. However it is always a good idea to check in early – for a bit of pampering!
The Sunday Times today reports on one of Glasgow Airport’s great attractions: the maniped, which you will find at the Nailport salon on the departures level.
This particular treat comprises a manicure and pedicure performed at the same time.
By a therapist with long arms?
Taxi from Glasgow Airport? Don’t feel guilty
August 8, 2008
Some of our guests feel bad when they get into a taxi at Glasgow Airport and say “take me to the Watermill Hotel”. After all, the taxi rank at Glasgow AIrport usually has 12 drivers waiting, ready to go to Glasgow city centre but secretly hoping their next fare will really be to Dundee or the jackpot – Aberdeen.
You would think, then, they would burst into tears (or something worse), when you ask them to drive to the Watermill Hotel just 10 minutes away.
Relax. When taxi drivers at Glasgow Airport get a fare to Paisley or Johnstone, or a similar short distance away, they are given a voucher, or chitty, which allows them to go straight back into the queue in front of the terminal as soon as they return. Then they can get back to hoping for that lucrative fare to Aberdeen.
Glasgow Airport’s new Skyhub on course
July 21, 2008
Not long now. The new Skyhub state of the art extension at Glasgow Airport is due to open in just three months time at the end of October. This should improve the whole aiport experience for all of our inbound guests but particularly those flying from London to Glasgow as well as other domestic passengers.
Needless to say, anything which speeds our guests through arrivals and onwards to the Watermill is to be warmly welcomed. Don’t forget we can arrange transport directly from the airport to our hotel, which is just 10 minutes drive away.
Glasgow Airport pick up and drop off
July 13, 2008
Good news for travellers. Glasgow Airport has now set up a free drop off – and pick up – zone, directly in front of the main terminal. They have also improved facilities for disabled passengers on transfer to the airport.
As the Watermill Hotel often arranges transport for hotel guests to and from the airport, this makes life a lot easier for everyone.
You will also be pleased to know, the new Glasgow Airport drop off zone is covered just in case of poor weather.
In Scotland? Perish the thought.
