DESTINATIONS:

UK

Glasgow from 29 October (up to 2 x daily, from £29.99 one way including taxes and charges)

One of the hottest travel destinations in the UK, Glasgow is packed with captivating cultural attractions, boasting a thriving arts

scene and plenty of landmark buildings to soak up. With over eight centuries of history behind it, most of the buildings in

Scotland's largest city have a story to tell, from the iconic Barrowland Ballroom performance venue to the beautiful People’s

Palace with its famous fountain on the forecourt. You’ll discover a futuristic skyline to rival London, with The River Clyde

running through the centre past a plethora of galleries, museums and bustling live music spots. An enticing combination of old

and new, the city is carving a reputation as one of the greenest spaces in Europe, with ample alfresco beauty spots for

outdoorsy types to explore. Besides all that, you’ll find endless shopping opportunities and an exciting gastronomic scene to

satisfy any palate.

Manchester from 29 October (up to 3 x daily, from £29.99 one way including taxes and charges)

A rich blend of history and culture is on show in its museums, galleries and art centers, but what makes Manchester really fun is

the swirl of hedonism that lets you dine, drink and dance yourself into happy oblivion. The uncrowned capital of the north is

also the driving force of the Northern Powerhouse, a government programme of investment and development to rival London

and the southeast.

IRELAND

Dublin from 29 October (up to 3 x daily, from £29.99 one way including taxes and charges)

For anyone looking for an eventful break in a diverse city packed with personality, crammed with culture and bursting at the

seams with a feisty love of life, there’s really no better choice than Dublin. The city is a rich tapestry of chequered history,

world-renowned literature, architecture both rugged and elegant, and all the exciting developments of modern

multiculturalism. Feast your eyes on the awe-inspiring Book of Kells manuscript amid the scholarly splendour of the Trinity

College Library, learn about the city’s past at the National Museum of Ireland, and visit the James Joyce Centre to discover how

Dublin inspired one of its most famous former inhabitants. At the end of the day, relax with a pint of Guinness at one of the

city’s hundreds of pubs. Dubliners certainly know how to have a good time, and their welcoming openness will ensure that you

never forget your trip to the heart and soul of Ireland.

HUNGARY

Budapest from 4 May (3 x weekly, from £39.99 one way including taxes and charges)

When it comes to beauty, there really is nowhere quite like the Hungarian capital. The ‘Queen of the Danube’ has a distinct

eastern flavour that sets it apart from Paris, Vienna and Prague. The architecture ranges from Baroque to Art Nouveau. Wander

the city’s elegant tree-lined boulevards, pop into its many leafy parks or take a boat down the Danube.

FRANCE

Lyon from 1 May (2 x weekly, from £34.99 one way including taxes and charges)

themselves surrounded by outstanding heritage, gastronomic pleasures, and a thriving nightlife.

ITALY

Milan Malpensa from 1 May (from £34.99 one way)

Famed for the three Fs; fashion, football and food, the Italian city is unique in that it appeals to pretty much everyone. Milan is

home to some to some of the world’s most famous art and the peerless opera house, La Scala, yet punctuated with a decidedly

modern gastronomic and retail scene.

AUSTRIA

Vienna from 10 May (2 x weekly, from £39.99 one way including taxes and charges)

More than 50 concert and theatre performances take place daily in Vienna – and with that volume of entertainment on offer,

where better to go for a short culture break than the Austrian capital? Its rich arts scene is one of Vienna’s main draws, though

there is plenty more to experience by way of history and local traditions on any visit to the city

CZECH REPUBLIC

Prague from 8 May (daily, from £34.99 one way including taxes and charges)

The capital of the Czech Republic looks like it has come fresh from a Disney fairytale, the city is a magical masterpiece of

medieval architecture and culture. Walk the winding cobblestone streets as you make your way to the city’s majestic castle, or

watch the world go by as you sip on a pilsner in one of the many bars and pubs throughout its Baroque squares.
