Cheap flights from Glasgow to Bucharest

January tends to offer the lowest fares on this route when you compare dated prices across carriers. The months surrounding it — October, November and December — also show competitive pricing before the peak winter period begins. Booking several weeks ahead usually yields better results than last-minute searches. Midweek departures typically cost less than weekend flights regardless of season.

KLM Royal Dutch Airlines operates through its Amsterdam hub with connections to Bucharest. British Airways and BA CityFlyer provide services via London airports, often requiring separate terminal transfers. Lufthansa routes passengers through Frankfurt or Munich before reaching Otopeni International. Easyjet and Jet2 offer low-cost options but only connect you to partner airlines for the remainder of the journey. Wizz Air Malta focuses on Eastern European destinations with budget fares from their Maltese base.

Before landing at Otopeni International, arrange transport to your accommodation or city centre. The airport sits roughly twenty kilometres northeast of central Bucharest with regular bus services and taxi options available outside arrivals. Many travellers prefer pre-booking a transfer during busy periods when demand spikes. Allow extra time if arriving on flights that connect through multiple hubs.
