Cheap flights from Glasgow to Marseille

The expensive stretch of the year is the summer and the school-holiday weeks, when demand for seats to the south of France peaks — expect the highest fares then. Work back from there and April stands out as the month when this route tends to be cheapest, with spring prices well below what July and August ask. The calendar on this page covers prices from October through to September of the following year, so you can line up the shoulder months against the peak and see the gap for yourself before committing to dates.

The difference you actually feel between the options is baggage and seat choice. EasyJet Europe, Easyjet and Jet2 run low-cost fares where a checked bag usually costs extra, while British Airways and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines sit on the full-service side of the ledger. Aer Lingus and Emerald Airlines appear among the carriers serving the route as well. Direct flights exist on this route, so if you want to skip a change of plane, filter for non-stop and see which carriers offer it; connections through other hubs are the alternative when the timing or fare suits better.

Getting into Marseille from Provence airport is a short transfer by Mediterranean standards: shuttle coaches run to the city's main transport hub, from where the metro and trams fan out across town, and a taxi or ride covers the same ground more quickly at a higher cost. The drive feels close — you land, pick up your bag, and the city's Vieux-Port quarter is within reach well within the first hour if traffic behaves. Watch the time of your arrival: late-evening landings thin out the shuttle schedule, so check the coach timetable before you fly if your flight lands in the dark.
