Umrah packages from Glasgow
There is no non-stop from Glasgow to Saudi Arabia, whatever an advert says.
There is no non-stop flight from Glasgow to Saudi Arabia. Glasgow agencies list one-stop options on Emirates via Dubai, Turkish Airlines via Istanbul and Qatar Airways via Doha. Emirates takes about 16 hours 45 minutes to Jeddah in total.
Be careful with claims. One Glasgow page advertises "direct flights from Glasgow" for its 4-star packages, although no non-stop exists. Another says it may use other UK airports such as Manchester. Ask for the flight numbers before you pay.
Two of the Glasgow pages we checked showed no ATOL number. Packages with flights sold in Scotland need ATOL protection like anywhere else in the UK, so ask for the certificate.
