Glasgow Prestwick Flights to Marseille
Glasgow Prestwick Airport is delighted to announce that its gateway to the south of France reopened on Wednesday April 18.
Ryanair’s direct low cost service to Marseille will carry thousands of Scots to the warmth of the Mediterranean over the summer.
An ideal climate and location make Marseille a versatile destination – take in the splendour of France’s second city and largest port, or use it as a gateway to Provence, and the Provencal way of life, by visiting spots such as Aix-en-Provence or Saint Tropez which, while quieter, are no less impressive.
The three times weekly service, which is Scotland’s only direct route to Marseille, leaves Glasgow Prestwick every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, and Ryanair’s cheap fares can be snapped up online
An early departure time allows passengers to make the most of their full first day in the region.
Mark Rodwell, Chief Executive of Glasgow Prestwick Airport, said: “It is pleasing to see the return of the Marseille service for the busy summer season as it is a fantastic destination for a holiday or short break.
“Marseille and Provence offer something for everyone, with stunning coastal settings and enough to satisfy those with a passion for art, history, culture, nightlife, sport and great food and drink.”
Marseille was Ryanair’s newest destination when it was announced last year, and Glasgow Prestwick was the first airport to be given services to and from Marseille, a major coup.
Ryanair swapped the Marseille service for their first ever ski route out of Glasgow Prestwick during the winter months, when they offered winter sports enthusiasts the cheapest fares to Grenoble.
