RTWs from Scotland
We're very aware that a lot of our customers live, work and study in Scotland and
we have some superb deals starting from Scotland. The USP of these deals is that
they are through fares ie if you get delayed you are put on the next available flight,
as opposed to stand alone fares (like low cost carriers) where if something goes
wrong (like a delay due to fog) then you will incur hefty costs to reissue or rearrange
your departure time. Below are some of our biggest selling RTWs. Most RTW fares
start from Glasgow or Edinburgh, but we've also RTWs starting from Aberdeen or Inverness
for a small additional fee. Below are some of the big sellers but there are a lot
more. Call us on

What does ‘surface’ mean?
This means you will fly in and out of a different city or country. In other words
you will travel between them by other means; perhaps by train, bus or boat. These
surface sectors ensure that you get to see and experience more of a country - more
What is tax - is it V.A.T?
The tax is airport tax, money that the airport is charging you to use its facilities.
This used to be collected at the airports, but is now payable in advance when you
purchase your ticket. There are still a few countries in which your taxes are collected
at the airport upon departure.
Recently there have been two additional charges added – Security Charges and
Fuel Surcharges - more
