More people flying to Spain

Tuesday May 13th , 2008

Demand for flights between Scotland and Spain has gone up in the last few months, it has been revealed.

According to Flyglobespan, there has been a surge in the number of bookings for flights from Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen.

Spain was identified as one of the main hotspots of activity, with flights to Palma attracting considerable demand.

Ibiza, Alicante and the Canary Islands were also said to be highly popular locations among Scottish tourists.

This is despite the current value of the pound against the euro, as it recently fell to an all-time low against the single European currency.

Rick Green, chief executive of Flyglobespan, told the Daily Record: "The exchange rate has not affected their decision on where to holiday as they are confident that they will still find good value in these resorts."

This comes after online travel agency Freedom Direct said holidays in Spain are still the "unbeatable favourite" for British tourists this year.
