Jet2 has added two new routes from Glasgow to Bulgaria for the summer after the Government confirmed the country will be added to the green travel list from Monday (July 19).
The flights between Glasgow Airport and Bourgas offers Glaswegians the chance to visit the best selection of beaches on the Black Sea, with Bourgas located near to the region’s top resorts including the famous Sunny Beach and Nessebar and St Vlas.
Steve Heapy, chief executive of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said: "With Croatia and Bulgaria going onto the green list from Monday this means customers can enjoy quarantine-free flights and holidays to Dubrovnik, Split (in Croatia) and Bourgas (Sunny Beach, Bulgaria) this summer.
“We know what huge demand there is for green list destinations, so we have made an immediate decision to add thousands of additional seats to Croatia and Bulgaria this summer."

Bulgaria will be joined by Hong Kong on the green list - meaning there is no requirement for Scots to isolate on return for any travellers regardless of the vaccination status.
Croatia and Taiwan will be added to the "green watchlist", meaning there is no need for anyone to quarantine but they are at risk of going amber. The British Virgin Islands will also go amber, while Cuba, Indonesia, Myanmar and Sierra Leone will be added to the red list requiring 10 days of isolation in a quarantine hotel.
The news comes after it was announced Ibiza, Mallorca and Menorca would be added to the amber travel list due to a surge in coronavirus cases, little more than a fortnight after they went green.
The change for those returning to England, Scotland and Wales from Spain's Balearic Islands will take place at 4am on Monday (July 19), potentially sparking a rush for holidaymakers to return to avoid the need to quarantine.
