Hi. Few questions to ask about the GLA Terminal. This is just me being interested

1. Does anyone have a copy of a full floor plan of the entire Glasgow Airport terminal? Not the basic one from the Glasgow Airport website. Like the floor plans on the walls of janitor and security offices, ones that look building drawings for planning applications.

2. Is there any images of inside the entire International Arrivals pier? Especially the areas near the gates.

3. I recently came across an image online of the Glasgow Airport departure lounge from a few years ago. However I noticed near the Caledonia bar that there were signs stating Gate 51/52. Today, those gates are nowhere to be found in the terminal. What were those gates for by any means/

4. Is there a 360 tour of the entire airport building? One extending to every single point in the terminal including the gates.

5. Last but not least what is that glass bridge over the check-in area?


Thanks!

Alarm bells ringing for this first post from a new user. No one needs to ask for detailed plans of the secure parts of the terminal.

My thoughts too

Hi. The reason why I am looking for a proper terminal floor plan is that I am just curious about how the airport works and interested in other public parts of the airport that I have not seen or been to before. I am interested in airports as an Av-geek. If I am not allowed to see the floor plan of the airport that is absolutely fine indeed. I am still curious about the other long thought questions.

I'm with Clive and egpff on this one re questions 1&2.

Turning to Q3 however, gates 51/52 were created within the International departure lounge to allow the use of 25/26 on the domestic pier to be used for international outbound flights. They were accessed via a narrow corridor down the ramp which links the main concourse with the IDL level. These gates were removed once the whole area became airside, and the restrictions about use of gates was removed. Originally this corridor had been created to allow Domestic to International connections, without the need to leave the secure area.

On Q5, the atrium bridge was the access to the departures area when the terminal extension and new check in hall was created, and the floors were at different levels. Now it serves as a fire escape route should there be a need to evacuate the departure lounge.

On Q4, you could try the airport website, as I'm pretty sure something was put on there when the centralised security was created, in order for people to visualise the new routes to gates.

Hope this helps a bit
