Easyjet announces exciting routes from Scotland 2025
Scotland to Spain and Turkey—No Layovers, No Nonsense, Just Sun
If you’re Scottish and your idea of a good time involves swapping drizzle for daiquiris, easyJet just made your year. The airline has unveiled not one but two sizzling new routes from Glasgow Airport, delivering you straight to Antalya, Turkey, and Reus, Spain—with zero faff and full sun.
Finally, no more awkward overnight layovers or sprinting through some other UK airport just to get to your beach towel. This move is part of easyJet’s cunning plan to give Scottish travelers what they want: easy escapes to where the sun actually works.

Reus: Catalonia’s Best-Kept Secret (But Not for Long)
The first flight to Reus took off on June 2, kicking off a twice-weekly summer service every Monday and Friday. So if you want to sneak out of work early Friday and be sunbathing by evening? Done. Want to come back Monday and pretend it was a “quiet weekend at home”? We won’t tell.
Reus is no ordinary Spanish city—it’s a cultural knockout. Think Gaudí-inspired architecture, palm-lined promenades, and tapas that make you question your entire diet. Plus, it’s just a hop from Costa Dorada, a beachy slice of heaven that translates to: “Why haven’t I been here before?”
This isn’t just a holiday—it’s your Mediterranean alter ego calling.
Antalya: The Turkish Delight You Deserve
Then there’s Antalya, aka Turkey’s answer to “What if paradise had really good kebabs and ancient ruins?” Flights from Glasgow launch June 4, running Wednesdays and Saturdays, perfect for midweek escapes or sun-soaked long weekends.
Antalya’s got it all: golden beaches, turquoise seas, majestic ruins, and markets where you’ll accidentally buy three rugs and love it. It’s basically a postcard come to life—and now it’s just one direct flight away from Glasgow. No complicated connections. No airport nightmares. Just you, the beach, and an all-you-can-eat buffet that takes its job seriously.
Why This Matters (Besides Making Your Instagram Look Amazing)
easyJet isn’t just throwing darts at a map. They’re answering the calls of Scottish sun-seekers, who are increasingly demanding direct, affordable flights to sunny destinations—and maybe fewer emotional goodbyes to their SAD lamps.
Ali Gayward, easyJet’s UK Country Manager (and apparently a sunshine fairy godmother), said it best: “We’re not just flying planes—we’re delivering dream holidays without the drama.”
These routes are more than travel—they’re therapy with better snacks.
But Wait, There’s Iceland Too
Not to be outdone, Edinburgh Airport is getting a bit of the action too. Icelandair is launching flights to Reykjavik starting September 12, with up to four flights a week. Perfect for those who prefer their vacations with glaciers, geothermal pools, and that weird but wonderful fermented shark (try it… once).
The flights run Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays, with a slight dip in frequency in the deepest, darkest part of winter—when presumably even Icelanders want to be in Antalya.
What You Need to Know Before You Panic-Book
- Glasgow to Reus: Flies Mondays and Fridays. Ideal for weekend warriors and beach romantics.
- Glasgow to Antalya: Flies Wednesdays and Saturdays. Because summer should be everyone’s personality.
- Edinburgh to Reykjavik (Icelandair): Starts September 12, flying up to four times weekly.

Scotland’s Air Travel Glow-Up
This isn’t just about sunshine (though, let’s be honest, that’s 90% of it). It’s about putting Scotland on the map as a serious player in international travel—one that doesn’t need to stop in London every time someone wants to sip sangria or chase the Northern Lights.
With easyJet doubling down on direct flights and Icelandair jumping in with their frosty flair, Scotland’s airports are turning into full-blown global gateways.
So, whether you’re craving beaches, bazaars, or volcanic hot tubs, just remember: it’s never been easier to leave the grey skies behind.
