The £22 flight that can get you to one of Europe's best wine regions in an hour

Europe easyJet Italy

Picture this: it's mid-September, the summer heat is cooling off, and you're sitting in a quaint, picturesque café that looks like something out of Amélie, sipping on a glass of vin rouge in one of Europe's best wine regions. Sounds blissful, right?

Well, what if we told you that this blissful scene could be a reality for less cost than a train ticket from Cardiff Central to London Paddington? Less than a meal for two out. Less than a pair of trousers at H&M.

No, we're not bluffing at all. Rather than glare at the (inevitably) overcast grey Welsh skies this September (specifically on the 18th of the month) for just £22 (plus hold luggage if you need it) you could jet off with easyJet to Bordeaux from Bristol airport to indulge in La Vie en Rose.

Bask in the incredible 18th century architecture, marvel at the winding River Garonne, and amuse your bouche (mouth in French) with a generous helping of croissants, baguettes, fromages – aka cheese – duck foie gras and so much more. Oh, and it's pretty good for wine, rumour has it. For £22 this flight is a total steal – and it's only an hour or so away. Winner!

And Bordeaux isn't the only eye-popping deal you can get from Bristol that'll you make you do a double take.

You can fly with easyJet to destinations like Alicante, Porto, Toulouse and more – again, for £21.99, or £23.99 for Ibiza – throughout the summer months. And with many of us in a cash-crunch due to the cost of living crisis it may inspire you to book that much needed holiday in the sunshine that won't break the bank quite as much as your bog standard all-inclusive.

Here are some of the cheap one-way flights deals we found as of 5pm on June 19. It's important to note that prices update regularly so they may have changed by the time you take a look:
