A number of railway lines connect the towns of northern Ayrshire to each other and also to Glasgow, as well as south to [[Stranraer]] and south-east to [[Dumfries]].

Ferries link Ayrshire to the islands of [[Isle of Arran|Arran]] and [[Great Cumbrae]] in [[Buteshire]].

[[Glasgow Prestwick International Airport]], serving [[Glasgow]] and the west of Scotland more generally, is located {{convert|32|mi|km}} away from Glasgow in Ayrshire; it provides various passenger flights to Spain, Portugal, Italy and Poland.<ref>[http://www.glasgowprestwick.com/flight-and-passenger-info/flight-information/route-map.html glasgowprestwick.com - Destination Map] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160703202711/http://www.glasgowprestwick.com/flight-and-passenger-info/flight-information/route-map.html |date=3 July 2016 }} retrieved 4 July 2016</ref> The name ''Glasgow'' was added in front of [[Prestwick]] as per American military airport naming conventions, as the airport was in the past oft-used as a stopover by US military personnel on their way to and from military bases in [[Germany]]. Moreover, it is known in [[Rock music|rock]] history as the only place in Britain visited by [[Elvis Presley]], on his way home from army service in Germany in 1960.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/glasgow_and_west/8547200.stm |title=Elvis anniversary: Blue suede shoes and bobby socks |publisher=BBC |date=3 March 2010 |access-date=8 January 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.maybole.org/news/2010/February/were_you_there.htm|title=Were you there when Elvis landed in Prestwick?|publisher=maybole.org}}</ref>
