    Then look for train fares about five and a half weeks away.
    That should give you an idea of what might become available on your travel dates.

    Trains are 12 weeks in advance and a lot of train companies allow you to register for alerts for when they go on sale. If you are not looking for an advance ticket you could find out fare now if not before January price hike.

    Remember to factor in cost of getting to and from Glasgow airport.
