Glasgow to Krakow flights

There are no direct Glasgow to Krakow flights. Passengers travel through connecting hubs, with British Airways operating routes via London.

Indirect journeys take longer than the average duration of 2 hours 50 minutes. Passenger numbers decrease at the beginning of November.

Departures for this route operate from Glasgow Airport (GLA), formerly known as Abbotsinch Airport. As Scotland's second busiest airport, it features two terminals. The main passenger terminal, Terminal 1, manages legacy carriers providing connections for this journey, while Terminal 2 serves no-frills airlines. A covered walkway connects both buildings, allowing you to walk between them quickly.

Located 6 miles from the city centre, the airport is accessible by road and public transport. Drivers can take the M8 motorway, exiting at junction 28 from the east or junction 29 from the west, to find long-stay and short-stay parking on-site. Alternatively, the Glasgow Airport Express bus service 500 runs from the city centre and takes around 15 minutes. Local bus services like the 77 and 757 also stop at the terminal, and a dedicated bus links the airport to the nearby Paisley Gilmour Street railway station.

Flights land at John Paul II Kraków–Balice Airport (KRK), which is situated 7 miles from the city centre near the A4 motorway. The fastest way to travel into the city centre is by train, which operates 7 days a week. You can find the rail station near the passenger terminal, at the back of the multi-storey car park, with the journey to the central station taking approximately 17 minutes.

Public buses also run regularly between the airport and the city. Line 300 provides a daytime connection, while the 902 night bus serves passengers during late hours. Alternatively, taxis and private hire vehicles are available at designated pick-up points outside the terminal building.

The Old Town forms the cultural heart of Krakow, showcasing centuries of perfectly preserved medieval architecture. As the city's compact layout makes it easy to explore on foot, you can walk from the grand Rynek Glowny straight up to Wawel Castle, which dates back to the 14th century. The historic streets house traditional restaurants and cosy cellar bars. At the centre of the square, the Cloth Hall (Sukiennice) contains a fascinating museum, while the surrounding historic quarters offer a detailed look into Polish history.
