When you depart from Glasgow International Airport (GLA), you’ll be flying out of one of Scotland’s major travel hubs, conveniently located around 9 miles west of Glasgow city centre. The airport is easy to reach by car, taxi, or public transport, including a regular bus service from Buchanan Bus Station, taking about 15–20 minutes. Once inside, expect modern facilities with plenty of shops, lounges, and dining options to help you relax before your flight.
Southall Travel works with trusted airlines that connect Glasgow to India, often via major hubs such as Doha, Dubai, or Abu Dhabi.

The total journey time varies but usually ranges between 13- and 17-hours including stopovers, depending on the airline and route.
You’ll arrive at Trivandrum International Airport (TRV), located roughly 2.5 miles (4 km) from Thiruvananthapuram city centre in the southern state of Kerala, India. The airport has two terminals: international and domestic and offers a relatively smooth arrival experience with available currency exchange, SIM card kiosks, and prepaid taxi counters. The nearest major train station, Thiruvananthapuram Central, is just under 3 miles from the airport and provides excellent connectivity to other parts of Kerala and India.
For UK citizens, a visa is required to enter India. The most convenient option is the e-Visa, which can be applied for online prior to departure. Make sure your passport is valid for at least six months from the date of entry and have a printed copy of your e-Visa with you upon arrival.

Fly Cheap to Trivandrum from Glasgow
Flying cheap to Trivandrum from Glasgow is easy when you plan smart and book through Southall Travel. This gateway to Kerala offers serene beaches and rich culture, and it's more accessible than ever with affordable flights to India. The trick lies in knowing when to book and when to fly. For the lowest fares, aim for off-peak seasons. January through March and September to early November often yield the best deals. Flights are less in demand during these months, especially when avoiding UK school holidays, making it the ideal window for a holiday to India.
Direct routes and minimal layovers help keep costs low. While Glasgow doesn’t yet offer nonstop service to Trivandrum, Southall Travel provides great-value connections that minimize travel time. Alternative routes such as Manchester to Trivandrum, Edinburgh to Trivandrum or even Gatwick to Trivandrum and London Heathrow to Trivandrum may offer competitive pricing and more frequent schedules. Booking a nearby departure city could save you significantly.
Airports tend to be quieter and flights cheaper midweek, especially on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Avoid weekends and peak summer months when prices surge and terminals are packed. Flying during early morning or late evening hours can also help you steer clear of crowds. With a little flexibility and planning, Southall Travel ensures your journey to Trivandrum is smooth, affordable and perfectly timed.
