AN airline has announced flights to two new destinations from Glasgow Airport.
In response to continued strong demand for its popular Christmas Markets programme, Jet2 is launching services and holidays to Berlin and Vienna for winter 2024/2025.
The scheduled services to the German capital will kick off on November 29 and occur twice weekly, on Monday and Friday, until December 16.
Meanwhile, holidaymakers can visit the Austrian capital with twice weekly flights, Thursday and Sunday, from November 28 to December 22 on an exclusive route from Glasgow Airport.
The expansion now brings Jet2's Christmas Markets programme to include four locations - Berlin, Krakow, Prague and Vienna.
Jet2 CEO Steve Heapy said: "This announcement represents a significant expansion to our winter 24/25 Christmas Markets programme from Glasgow Airport with two new destinations going on sale.
"The expansion comes in direct response to the strong demand we are seeing from customers and independent travel agents in Scotland for our Christmas Markets programme, and it means we are giving holidaymakers exactly what they want - even more opportunity to enjoy the best festive experiences across Europe next winter.

"Our Winter 24/25 Christmas Markets programme from Glasgow Airport promises to be our best yet, and we look forward to taking holidaymakers to their favourite Christmas Market destinations, as well as showcasing our award-winning flights and city breaks to them.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
