If you're looking for a getaway this year, your list of cost-effective options may have just gotten a little bigger.
That's because budget airline easyJet is launching three new routes from Scotland's travel hubs later this year. Scottish holidaymakers will soon be able to travel to destinations including Santorini, Antalya and Lisbon through easyJet flights.
Fares for the new routes will start at £39.99 per person and they will begin operating in early June this year.
Those who are flying out from Glasgow Airport will be able to fly to Lisbon from June 2 with twice weekly departures on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
Flights to Antalya from Edinburgh Airport are scheduled to launch from June 3, with departures on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Edinburgh to Santorini from June 6 with a weekly departure on Tuesdays, all throughout the summer season.
This comes after the airline recently announced two new summer routes from Edinburgh and Glasgow - to Catania and Porto. EasyJet currently serves four Scottish airports, offering 74 routes to 67 destinations from Scotland to Europe, the Middle East and North Africa.
Ali Gayward, easyJet’s UK Country Manager commented: "We are delighted to be launching even more new routes from Scotland so that we can provide our customers with an even wider range of fantastic beach and city routes across Europe, North Africa and the Middle East to explore and enjoy."
"We remain committed to strengthening our unrivalled short-haul network and providing affordable and convenient connections for our customers across Scotland, all with great value fares and the warm welcome that our crew are famous for."
Kate Sherry, Aviation Director at Edinburgh Airport said: "A new year always brings new routes, and January is the perfect time to start thinking and get excited about that sunshine holiday later in the year.
"it’s great to see easyJet adding Antalya and Santorini to its already extensive selection at Edinburgh."
Christopher Tibbett, Group Head of Airline Relations and Marketing at AGS Airports, said: "This announcement from easyJet is tremendous news as Lisbon is a fantastic city and I’m certain it will be a very popular destination with our passengers when the route launches in June."
While they aren't yet running, flights are available to book from today on easyJet.com and via the mobile app.
