Flying from Glasgow
Glasgow Airport is Scotland's leisure-leaning hub — the larger of the city's two airports — with Jet2, easyJet, Ryanair and TUI dominating the holiday market and BA, KLM and Aer Lingus adding hub connections. The terminal is 9 miles west of Glasgow centre with regular Glasgow Airport Express bus service. Atlantic-facing weather can affect winter operations; check status before peak departures from October to March.
Arriving in Crete
Heraklion Airport is 4 km east of central Heraklion, the largest city in Crete. Bus 1 runs every 15 minutes to the city centre. The May–October leisure schedule is intense; winter capacity drops sharply but doesn't disappear. Crete's size means you can fly into Heraklion (HER) or Chania (CHQ) — match the airport to your accommodation cluster to save the 2-hour cross-island drive.
