Fortunately things have changed from around twenty five years ago when it was thought by travel experts that Glasgow flights direct to most European destinations were unsustainable. Because of this travellers were forced to fly via London Birmingham and Manchester airports.
There were alternatives available to travellers to get to other European destinations whilst avoiding the English airports. The alternatives were to fly via Dublin for flights to North America or via Amsterdam for flights to the Middle East or Australia.
Luckily enough today there are lots more options for travellers looking for a direct flight from Glasgow than at anytime in the past. The new airlines can offer cheaper airfares as well as an increased number of destinations. Travellers no longer think of a holiday abroad as much of a luxury and now travel to more destinations more often but for shorter lengths of stay.
Cheap flights would not be possible without the increased use of the internet which enables the airlines to sell their tickets cheaper than they could had they had to rely on alternative ways of selling flights
With the opening up of many Eastern European cities offering new sights and sounds as well as cheap food and drink costs the growth in city breaks has been huge.
