A combination of the cost of living crisis and the pandemic has led to fewer destinations and soaring prices when it comes to flights from Scotland.
The days when a return fare to Paris could be picked up for less than a return train journey from Edinburgh to Glasgow may be long gone, but if you are willing to be flexible about your destination you can still get great value for money.
Add in the the fact that many of these places are now significantly cheaper than Scotland for hotels, food, drink and tourist attractions, and that week away somewhere overseas may not be as unaffordable as you think.
We've had a look at some of the cheapest places to fly to from Scottish airports. Obviously when you are flying will make a big difference to the prices - and we've presumed you can get by with just a bag you can pop under the seat - but at least a couple of these destinations should be cheap at pretty much any time of year, if booked far enough ahead.
Here are our 10 bargain destinations for 2024.
9. Pula
Parts of Croatia are getting pretty busy when it comes to tourism - particularly the hugely popular city of Dubrovnik. It's still easy to find a bit of peace in the Istrian peninsula, known for it's Roman buildings, cut-price Italian cuisine and sparkling seas. Fly to Pula, with its beautifully-reserved amphitheatre, from less than £100 return with Easyjet then explore Brijuni National Park, Fazana and Rovinj. | Canva/Getty Images
10. Copenhagen
Traditionally there have been plenty of bargains to the nearby cities of Scandinavia from Scotland, but these have become rarer in recent years. Our pick for 2024 is the Danish capital of Copenhagen, with return flights from Edinburgh with Ryanair for less than £60. Enjoy a walk around the pretty harbourside houses of Nyhavn and stop off in one of the many bars and restaurants for a tipple and a snack. | Canva/Getty Images
