International travel rules are not as straightforward as they once were and the pandemic has left airlines to update their policies and routes accordingly.
As the traffic light system has caused uncertainty for some airlines, flights have been scrapped where as other airlines are hopeful to get Scots out for some winter sun.
The UK Government reviews foreign travel every three weeks and the next travel review will be next week on Wednesday with some countries like Spain and Pakistan being heavily looked at.
While Scotland has followed in England's footsteps regarding the traffic light system, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has emphasised that the Scottish government's advice is not to travel abroad for holidays.
Here's a rundown of some airlines and what they have recently done regarding flights.
Ryanair
Ryanair has announced six new routes from Edinburgh Airport.
The budget airline has expanded its fleet in Edinburgh Airport and those looking for a break away or family visits, can now book summer flights from Edinburgh Airport to Knock, Naples and Zadar.
And from winter, jetsetters can take off from the city to Turin, Knock and Tallin.
Speaking in Edinburgh, Ryanair’s Director of Commercial, Jason McGuinnes said: "Scottish families/visitors can now book a well-earned summer getaway safe in the knowledge that if their plans change, they can move their travel dates with a zero-change fee up until the end of December 2021."
TUI
TUI has been forced to cancel flights more than 25 destinations across the world including popular UK holiday spots.
