British travel enthusiasts can now get to America for as little as £125.
Wow airlines have introduced a new route from Edinburgh to various destinations in North America with a minuscule price tag.
The budget flights will be to popular destinations including Boston, Washington D.C., Montreal, Toronto, Los Angeles or San Francisco.
Flights will depart from Edinburgh International Airport and will include a short stopover in Reykjavik, before going on to North America.
They will be running twice weekly between July and October. And there will also be discount flights to Iceland and Canada.
Skúli Mogensen, founder and CEO of WOW air, said: “We’re very pleased to announce Edinburgh as our third UK departure point given the success we’ve seen with advance bookings on the recently announced Bristol route and of course our original route from London.
"We know that Scottish travellers are an intrepid sort, keen to explore unique and mountainous landscapes so we hope to open up Iceland to many more Scots with our service.
"With our ultra-low-cost £125 fares to North America this summer, the choice for Scottish holidaymakers just widened.”
Tickets for flights beginning 13 July 2016 are now on sale from just £39 to Reykjavik, iceland and £125 to the USA and Canada.
If you want to save money on internal flights there is also a nifty loophole you can use. Pretending to come from the country where you are booking the flights is a great way of saving the pennies.
For example if you're booking a flight from Buenos Aires to Mendoza in Argentina, it's cheaper if the system thinks you live in that country.
You can either do this by going to the home website of the airline. For example if you're booking a flight from Paris to Toulouse go to airfrance.fr instead of airfrance.co.uk.
Depending on the current deals and exchange rate this can save you money.
However, an even better way to avoid extra costs is to go to the site ITA Google to search for flights. Here you can change your point of sale at the bottom.
I tested the route from Buenos Aires to Mendoza in Argentina and changed the point of sale to see how much it varied.
The price for a round trip when I said I was from London came to £191. When I changed the search term to say I lived in Buenos Aires the exact same flight reduced to around £115 (2,204 Argentinian Pesos) – a whopping saving of £76!
