As part of Ryanair's 2024 summer programme, there is a new exciting route twice a week between Bergerac and Edinburgh. Along with the town, Edinburgh travellers can also visit Biarritz and Morocco this summer.

Flights from Edinburgh to Biarritz will run on Monday and Thursday, and Edinburgh to Bergerac will also run twice a week on Tuesday and Saturday.

Jonny Macneal, head of aviation at Edinburgh Airport, said: “Adding new destinations means we’re offering new places for people to explore, and that’s something we always look to deliver.

“This summer our passengers can now investigate Bergerac, wander round the stunning city of Biarritz or bask in the sun in Agadir. It’s difficult to choose which one to visit so best to visit tick off all three!”
