Edinburgh holidaymakers have welcomed a new range of flights to popular spots in Greece and Spain.

The routes, which come from Jet2, will travel to 37 sun destinations across the world - with three brand new routes. These include weekly services from Edinburgh Airport to Kefalonia and Kalamata (both in Greece), as well as Girona in Spain.

The programme, which covers summer 2026, means travellers can get booked in now and lock in some sun time.
