Glasgow Prestwick Airport

Glasgow, United Kingdom · Europe

Scottish Government–owned Ayrshire airport with the only on-site rail station in Scotland, a covered walk into a single Ryanair terminal, classic 100 ml security, no lounge, and a cargo/MRO story that now outweighs its ~0.62M passengers — easy once you remember it is not GLA.
