So the airline’s news that the flights from Glasgow to a stunning coastal destination come at the perfect time.

Holidaygoers will now be able to fly directly from Glasgow to Newquay, on the coast of Cornwall, which has some of the best beaches across the UK.

This means that Scots will now have a direct route to Cornwall’s sun-soaked coastline and vibrant seaside culture.

Newquay is thought to be among the UK’s most stunning regions with its gorgeous beaches, surfing hotspots and coastal trails.

There are also world-famous attractions nearby, such as the Eden Project and St Ives.

The new twice-weekly flights will operate on Thursdays and Sundays through the summer.

This will provide extra flexibility for those who wish to enjoy a long weekend or extended beach breaks.

The new flights will take just one hour and 40 minutes when the plane is up in the air.

The first flight will depart Glasgow Airport at 10.50am and will arrive at Newquay Airport at 12.30pm.

The return leg will leave Newquay at around 1pm and will land in Glasgow at around 2.40pm.

This gives passengers ample time to enjoy their first and last days at either destination.

The first journey for the new Loganair flights took off on Sunday, 25 May, kicking off the incredible seasonal service.

Fares for the new flights start from £89.99 per journey and passengers can take with them a total of 21kg luggage allowance.

This includes a 15kg hold and a 6kg cabin baggage.

The new service underlines Loganair’s commitment to supporting UK connectivity, giving travellers more choice and flexibility for leisure and family travel throughout the year.

Luke Lovegrove, chief commercial officer at Loganair, said the team is excited to offer the new flights this summer.

He said: “We’re pleased to be serving this exciting route for our summer schedule linking Glasgow and Newquay – bringing two vibrant regions closer together just in time for the summer season.

“We have been pleasantly surprised by the strength of demand on this route which bodes well for the future development of it, and we look forward to working closely with both Glasgow and Newquay airports to unlock its potential.”

Jonathan Ford, Portfolio Manager at AGS Airports, said: “We are delighted to see Loganair, Glasgow’s home airline, expand its network with the reinstatement of the popular Glasgow to Newquay route.
