British Airways has launched a new route from a Scottish airport.
The flag carrier is offering twice-weekly flights from Edinburgh Airport to San Sebastian in Spain’s Basque Country.
The flights are being operated by BA Cityflyer on its Embraer 190 aircraft for the summer season.
The new connection has been well received both in the Basque province of Gipuzkoa and in Scotland - where 80% of the tickets for the route have been purchased.

"Ticket sales are occurring in accordance with its expectations."
San Sebastian is celebrated for its Michelin-starred restaurants and vibrant pintxos bars. The city is also home to La Concha - considered the best urban beach in Europe.
The flights operate twice weekly on Tuesdays and Saturdays until July 30.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
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. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
