'''Gnome gliders''' are a method of [[transportation]] available after completing [[The Grand Tree]] [[quest]]. They can fly to many locations and can be used in combination with [[Teleportation spells|teleport spells]], [[spirit tree]]s, and the [[fairy ring]] network to quickly travel across [[Gielinor]].

The fastest way to access the glider network is by either taking the [[royal seed pod]] and climbing up to the top floor (requiring [[Monkey Madness II]]), or using a [[ring of dueling]] to teleport to [[Emir's Arena]] and running south-west, both of which take approximately 15 seconds.

[[File:Gnome glider locations.png|right|thumb|400px|Glider Network map]]
Gnome gliders are located at:
* '''Ta Quir Priw''' – The [[Grand Tree]], piloted by [[Captain Errdo]]
** The top level provides normal service.
** On the {{FloorNumber|uk=1}} there is a special service during the [[Monkey Madness I]] quest.
* '''Gandius''' – South of the Shipyard on [[Karamja]], piloted by [[Captain Klemfoodle]]
* '''Kar-Hewo''' – [[Al Kharid]], piloted by [[Captain Dalbur]]
* '''Sindarpos''' – The peak of [[White Wolf Mountain]], piloted by [[Captain Bleemadge]]
* '''Lemanto Andra''' – Just west of the [[Digsite]] near [[Varrock]], piloted by Captain Errdo
** This trip is '''one-way'''; the glider will crash and you cannot fly back from here. Also, you cannot use the closest gate unless you have 153 [[kudos]] at the [[Varrock Museum]].
* '''Lemantolly Undri''' – Western [[Feldip Hills]], piloted by [[Gnormadium Avlafrim]]
** Close to [[Fairy rings|Fairy Ring]]  {{Fairycode|AKS}}
** [[One Small Favour]] must be completed to access this glider.
* '''Ookookolly Undri''' – North-west on [[Ape Atoll]], piloted by [[Captain Shoracks]]
** [[Monkey Madness II]] must be completed to access this glider.

==Efficient travel==
Like various other teleportation methods, the gnome gliders can be used for efficient travel, especially when doing tasks such as [[Crop running|farming runs]]. The following table compares methods of reaching a glider:

<sup>1</sup>Teleporting to the fairy ring in a [[player-owned house]] may be faster, based on the location of the [[superior garden]] and how fast the house loads.

<nowiki>*</nowiki>This route may take a second or two longer if gates or doors need to be opened or if the captain has wandered.

<nowiki>**</nowiki>A [[lunar staff]] can also be used, or no staff if the [[Lumbridge & Draynor Diary#Elite|Lumbridge & Draynor elite diary]] is completed.

==Trivia==
* The names of the destinations, except for Ape Atoll, can be translated using the [[Translation book]] acquired during the Grand Tree quest.
** '''Ta Quir Priw''' translates to "The Guardian Tree".
** '''Gandius''' means "Jungle".
** '''Kar-Hewo''' translates to "No Grass".
** '''Sindarpos''' translates to "Big Rocks".
** '''Lemanto Andra '''translates to "Man City".
** '''Lemantolly Undri''' translates to "Stupid Man Lands".
* Captain Klemfoodle's examine text, "Up up and away!", is a reference to {{WP|Trans World Airlines}}'s ad jingle from the 1960s.
* Gnome glider examine text mentions [[Gnome Air]], Gielinor's only airline.
