Next summer flyglobespan launches a new daily service from Glasgow to Orly airport in Paris, pictured. For the first time flyglobespan will offer regular flights to Cyprus, Lanzarote and Gran Canaria from Glasgow while Spanish capital Madrid will be available from Edinburgh. Flyglobespan will continue to fly daily to Alicante, Malaga, Palma and Barcelona from both Glasgow and Edinburgh and Faro on the Portuguese Algarve, the Czech capital Prague and Tenerife from Glasgow. The airline is also adding extra flights to Geneva from Glasgow during the winter as the route is already proving popular.
The number of Britons taking snowsport holidays last winter rose slightly to more than 1.2 million, according to the Ski Club of Great Britain, and of these, 235,000 travelled independently. Among the most-visited resorts were Val d’Isere and Meribel in France, St Anton and Lech in Austria, Verbier and Zermatt in Switzerland and Breckenridge and Vail in Colorado, USA.
