Wowcher has launched a deal which has been called a "once in a lifetime" trip and can be purchased for as little as £149 per person.

However, there is one catch. Holidaymakers won't learn where they will be going until after their ticket is purchased. The offer is called the Bucket List Holiday Deal. This will provide travellers with return flights and hotel accommodation at one of 150 destinations across the globe.

Including city breaks as well as trips to beaches, locations range from European hotspots such as Amsterdam, Rome, Palma and Paris, to long-distance destinations fitting for any traveller's bucket list like New York and Dubai. The cost starts from £149 for departures slated for 2025 or tickets can be upgraded to £179 to fly out this year.

To have a bit of fun, the vacation destination will be selected randomly after purchasing the voucher deal. Setting off from London airports would be the typical flight plan. Thankfully for us Scots, all short haul flights are direct to destinations from the UK and you can travel from regional airports including Glasgow, Manchester and more.

Accommodation built into the deal guarantees you a minimum three-star rating, each with its own private room with en-suite. To top up your experience, a complimentary tour or activity at your destination will also be included.

The length of stay is either two or three nights, except for the top tier prize trips to New York and Dubai, which offer just one night stay.

For those who love a bit of adventure, the Malaga city break with a hiking excursion or the Split city break featuring a boat ride and tour of the Krka waterfalls could be just the ticket. Foodies might find themselves heading to Amalfi for a beach holiday complete with a Sorrento Farm tasting experience, or perhaps Bruges where a tour of the city's Chocolate Museum is included.

History enthusiasts are in for a treat too with options like a Rome break that includes tickets to the Vatican and Sistine Chapel, or a Naples getaway featuring a day trip to Pompeii. If relaxation is more your style, you could end up on a beach holiday, perhaps enjoying a sunrise kayaking tour in the Costa Brava or discovering the secrets of Marbella on a guided walking tour.

After purchasing the deal, customers will be contacted between five and 10 working days later to reveal their mystery holiday destination. They say: "Valid for departure on selected dates until 31st Mar 2025." You can find the full list of potential destinations and further terms and conditions on the Wowcher's website..

Southwest Flight Buzzes Suburb of Oklahoma City, Prompts FAA Probe
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has launched a probe to determine how a Southwest Airlines passenger jet ended up flying unusually low over a residential suburb of Oklahoma City early on Wednesday, June 19, local media reported.Southwest Airlines flight 4069 was flying from Las Vegas to Oklahoma City when it flew as low as 500 feet above homes in the city of Yukon, west of Oklahoma City, just after midnight on Wednesday morning, according to The Oklahoman which first reported the incident.The sound of the aircraft was loud enough to wake up several residents of Yukon, KFOR reported, and sparked a low-altitude alert at Oklahoma City’s Will Rogers World Airport, prompting air-traffic control staff to contact the pilots.After the pilots were alerted to their low altitude, the Boeing 737 quickly climbed to over 1,000 feet above ground, then landed safely at the airport a few minutes later.This footage, captured by Yukon resident Andrew Gabel’s home-security camera, shows the aircraft flying low over the area at 12:08 am Wednesday.
