A raft of new air routes have been launched by low-cost carrier easyJet.
A new twice-weekly flight between Glasgow Airport and Hurghada will begin in November, as will flights to the same Egyptian destination from Edinburgh.
Flights from Edinburgh to Rovaniemi in Finland will launch in December and will operate twice a week during winter.
Ali Gayward, easyJet's UK country manager, said: “We’re delighted to be launching even more new routes from our airports across Scotland to a range of fantastic destinations, providing evening more choice for our customers this winter whether they’re looking for a Christmas getaway, hitting the slopes or chasing the winter sun and we can’t wait to welcome more customers on board.”
Christopher Tibbett, Group head of airline relations and marketing for Glasgow Airport, said: "We are thrilled to welcome easyJet's launch of a twice-weekly service to Hurghada in Egypt.
“easyJet has already launched several new routes for Glasgow Airport this year; including to Porto and Lisbon; and this additional new route marks an exciting expansion for easyJet and demonstrates our commitment to providing our passengers with diverse and enticing travel options."
Rob Lang, head of marketing at Edinburgh Airport, said: “These new routes are like Christmas come early for people already planning for that winter getaway.”

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.
