A new twice-weekly flight is now connecting Scottish travellers to a popular coastal city in northern Spain.

BA Cityflyer, a subsidiary of British Airways, launched the direct route from Glasgow Airport to San Sebastián on Saturday, July 18.

The seasonal service will operate every Tuesday and Saturday until September 8.

Ian Romanis, managing director of BA Cityflyer, said: "We were delighted to launch our new direct service between Glasgow and San Sebastián, giving our Scottish customers even more choice and convenience when planning their summer holidays.
