The cheapest places to fly from Glasgow right now

If you live in Glasgow, Renfrewshire, Lanarkshire or anywhere else in the west of Scotland and want the cheapest places to fly, the short answer from Glasgow Airport (GLA) is southern Spain, the Algarve, the Canaries, Poland and Marrakesh. On 46 scan days between 19 September and 9 November 2026, Blame the Fare’s deal scanner logged 788 Glasgow deal observations that pass the feed’s current trip rules, across 45 destinations. The median fare was £63 return, and 755 of the 788 observations (96%) were nonstop.

Seven routes had a median of £47 or less over at least 17 sightings each: Málaga (£40), Marrakesh (£43), Wrocław, Lanzarote and Kraków (all £45), Faro (£46) and Alicante (£47). Barcelona followed at £52 over 41 sightings, the most of any Glasgow route except Hurghada. At the other end, Hurghada had a £185 median over 46 sightings and Toronto £359 over nine, both a different kind of trip from a Spanish long weekend.

The scan on the morning of 9 November 2026 found 23 Glasgow deals that pass the feed’s trip rules. The cheapest were Málaga at £39 for four nights from 13 December on Ryanair, Alicante at £42 for seven nights from 6 December on Ryanair, Fuerteventura at £49 for seven nights from 5 December on easyJet, Lanzarote at £50 for seven nights from 1 December and Faro at £52 for seven nights from 15 December on easyJet. The median of the 23 was £66. The full list is on the deal feed, and the Glasgow departures page shows what is checked from GLA today.

Glasgow destinations by logged deal fare

“Deals logged” counts how many times the scanner recorded a qualifying fare on that route, roughly once per scan day it appeared. The table shows the 32 routes logged at least eight times, which together hold 736 of the 788 observations. Another ten routes had between three and seven sightings; they appear in the text without a median because the sample is too small to carry one, and three routes seen once or twice are left out. Medians are rounded to the nearest pound, and “Not recorded” means the feed did not carry an airline name.

Google Flights returned some names in the local form, such as Eivissa for Ibiza and Tiranë for Tirana; the table uses the familiar English name with the airport code. “Mixed” means the route had both nonstop and one-stop sightings: 18 of the 20 Paphos sightings were nonstop, but only four of the 12 Larnaca sightings were.

Spain, Portugal and the Canaries from Glasgow

The cheapest Glasgow routes of all were to southern Spain and the Algarve. Málaga appeared 35 times at £36 to £46 for departures between 3 October 2026 and 24 January 2027, mostly on Ryanair. Alicante appeared 35 times at £32 to £54 on Ryanair, easyJet and unnamed carriers. Faro appeared 31 times at £38 to £54, all on easyJet and all for departures between 1 and 17 December. Barcelona appeared 41 times at £44 to £62, every one an easyJet nonstop. Our guide to the best time to book flights to Spain from the UK explains why the travel dates you choose move these prices more than the day you book.

Portugal beyond the Algarve was close behind. Porto appeared 36 times at £54 to £66 and Lisbon 38 times at £59 to £81, both on easyJet. The four Canary Islands together appeared 93 times at £34 to £85, all nonstop: Lanzarote 23 times at £34 to £62, mostly for stays of seven to 14 nights, Gran Canaria 17 times at £48 to £67, Fuerteventura 23 times at £45 to £76 and Tenerife 30 times at £54 to £85. The Balearics cost more: Palma ran £57 to £98 over 13 sightings, Ibiza £88 to £127 over 28 and Menorca £62 to £132 over 21, almost all on Jet2.

The cheapest city breaks from Glasgow

Ryanair set the floor for Glasgow city breaks in Poland. Wrocław appeared 38 times at £38 to £51 for stays of two to seven nights, and Kraków 30 times at £40 to £56. Warsaw Modlin was less consistent, at £53 to £110 over 12 sightings. easyJet covered most of western Europe: Paris Charles de Gaulle appeared 17 times at £52 to £65, Rome 35 times at £58 to £84 and Amsterdam 12 times at £78 to £97. Malta appeared 38 times at £52 to £74, mostly on easyJet.

Marrakesh was the surprise. It appeared 17 times at £39 to £45, every one a four-night easyJet nonstop departing between 30 November and 14 December, which made it one of the cheapest Glasgow routes in the data, ahead of every Spanish route except Málaga. Berlin appeared seven times at £74 to £91 on Jet2 and Budapest three times at £143 to £146; both samples are too small for a median.

Greece, Cyprus, Turkey and Madeira from Glasgow

Greece produced fewer Glasgow sightings than Spain, and most were for departures in late September and October. Rhodes appeared nine times at £119 to £170 and Zakynthos 14 times at £129 to £361, the widest spread of any regular Glasgow route, on TUI Airways, Jet2 and unnamed carriers. Kos appeared five times at £157 to £168 and Corfu four times at £155 to £186; both samples are small. In Cyprus, Paphos appeared 20 times at £112 to £194, mostly on Jet2, and Larnaca 12 times at £146 to £202, two-thirds of them with a stop.

Turkey was mostly a Jet2 market from Glasgow. Antalya appeared 14 times at £123 to £168, and İzmir 11 times at £246 to £504. Bodrum appeared five times at £231 to £364, a small sample. Madeira appeared 13 times at £123 to £171, every one a seven-night Jet2 nonstop. Split in Croatia and Tirana in Albania each appeared five times, Split at £106 to £146 and Tirana at £201 with one stop on British Airways, and Burgas in Bulgaria seven times at £302 to £354; none of those has enough sightings for a median.

Egypt, Iceland and longer trips from Glasgow

Egypt was the most-logged longer trip from Glasgow. Hurghada appeared 46 times at £164 to £218, every one on easyJet, for stays of four to 14 nights departing between 14 November 2026 and 30 January 2027. Sharm El-Sheikh appeared nine times at £151 to £167, all four-night easyJet nonstops. On 9 November the scan had Sharm El-Sheikh at £163 for four nights from 12 December and Hurghada at £216 for four nights from the same day. Check entry rules for Egypt and Morocco before you book.

Icelandair carried both of Glasgow’s North Atlantic routes. Reykjavík appeared nine times at £149 to £192, all nonstop, for stays of three to six nights departing between 2 and 10 December, and the 9 November scan had six nights there at £149 from 8 December. Toronto appeared nine times at £348 to £359, all with one stop. Cancún appeared four times at £401 to £706, too few sightings and too wide a spread to read anything into, and a handful of Sal (Cape Verde) sightings were too few and too scattered to report.

Which airlines carry the cheap Glasgow fares

easyJet carried 413 of the 788 Glasgow observations, more than half. Jet2 carried 135, Ryanair 109, Icelandair 18, TUI Airways 13, British Airways six and Wizz Air three, and 91 observations carried no airline name. The carriers lead different parts of the map: easyJet on Barcelona, Faro, Porto, Lisbon, Marrakesh, the Canaries, Rome and Egypt; Ryanair on Wrocław, Kraków, Warsaw Modlin and much of Málaga; and Jet2 on Ibiza, Menorca, Madeira, Antalya, İzmir and Paphos.

Bag rules decide whether a cheap fare is really cheap. easyJet says everyone can bring one small under-seat cabin bag of up to 45 by 36 by 20 centimetres and 15 kilograms for free; a large cabin bag of up to 56 by 45 by 25 centimetres has to be booked, and easyJet says one added at the boarding gate costs £60. Ryanair says all fares include one small personal bag of 40 by 30 by 20 centimetres that must fit under the seat, and its Priority and 2 Cabin Bags option adds a 10-kilogram bag of 55 by 40 by 20 centimetres. Jet2 says each passenger has a 10-kilogram hand luggage allowance included as standard, up to 56 by 45 by 25 centimetres, plus a small under-seat bag of up to 40 by 30 by 20 centimetres. Our guide to cabin bag sizes by airline compares the limits.

Why some cheap Glasgow fares never reach the feed

Of 867 Glasgow observations stored between 19 September and 9 November, 79 did not reach the feed. Fifty-six were domestic routes, which the feed does not show to UK members, 21 were stays shorter than the feed’s minimum for the length of the flight, and two were dropped because the destination had no reviewed photo yet.

The rules apply when the feed is read, so the numbers in this guide are what a member would have been shown, not every fare a search engine returned. They also explain some odd-looking gaps: a cheap two-night trip to the eastern Mediterranean can be missing simply because two nights is too short for a flight of that length. If a destination you expected is absent from the table, it was either logged fewer than eight times or not logged at all in this period.

How do you get to Glasgow Airport?

The ground journey belongs in the price. First Glasgow describes its Service 500 Glasgow Airport Express as the airport’s official 24-hour bus, with buses up to every 10 minutes from Glasgow Airport (Stance 1) and Buchanan Bus Station (Stance 46), and a journey to the city centre in as little as 15 minutes. It lists a single fare of £2, bought on the First Bus app, from the driver by cash or contactless, or online, and says Scottish Concession passes are accepted.

From the airport, First Glasgow lists stops on Bothwell Street, near Central Station and at Queen Street Station before Buchanan Bus Station. It also notes a diversion with revised city-centre stops during the Avenues works, so check the page before you travel.

How to catch a cheap fare from Glasgow

1. Start with Spain, Poland and Marrakesh. Málaga, Marrakesh, Wrocław, Lanzarote, Kraków, Faro and Alicante all had medians of £47 or less.
2. Start with the destination, not the date. Open the deal feed and shortlist places under your price ceiling before you fix a week.
3. Check trip length. Cheap Glasgow fares ranged from two-night city breaks to two-week Canaries trips; move the dates a day either way and watch the price.
4. Add bags and the bus. Put the cabin bag, hold bag and the Service 500 fare on the same line as the ticket, especially on Ryanair and easyJet.
5. Compare with a second airport. The Newcastle and Manchester guides show what cheap fares looked like there, and our hub of the best flight search sites shows which to cross-check before paying.
