What the Glasgow drop-off is actually like
Glasgow's paid express drop-off is inside the terminal multi-storey right outside the building — the airport itself calls it “a very congested area” suited only to a quick stop; the free hour is over in Long Stay, reached on foot or by free shuttle.

Free or cheaper alternative
Long Stay car park — 1 hour free, walk or shuttle to terminal. Allow 15–25 extra minutes versus the barrier.
Picking up at Glasgow
Like most UK airports, Glasgow applies the same £7 charge to pick-ups as to drop-offs — the same area, the same tariff. It's always worth confirming on the day, as signage and enforcement can change.
If you're waiting on a delayed flight, Long Stay car park is usually the cheaper choice than paying at the barrier by the minute.
