Three major airlines have added new routes from the UK, meaning Brits will be able to travel with greater ease to sought-after destinations around the world.

Norse Atlantic, easyJet, and Wizz Air, have all added new flight routes from different British airports to various exotic locations.

Perhaps the most eye-catching for the new routes in easyJet's Manchester to Sal, Cape Verde, flight - the airline's second-longest link ever.

The 2,399 nautical mile-flight will start running from October 28 this year.

The budget airline has also revealed numerous other routes, including Birmingham to Lanzarote, Liverpool to Gran Canaria, and Southend to Barcelona, Lanzarote, and Salzburg.

Much like easyJet, Wizz Air has also added new flights for British holidaymakers.

Wizz Air will, from August, be able to carry passengers to Medinah, Saudi Arabia, from London Gatwick. The carrier is advertising return flights from around £400.

Norse Atlantic, a Norwegian long-haul airline, is also expanding its UK operation. It is set to run its first ever UK to Thailand flight later this year, with passengers taken from Gatwick to Bangkok.

The flights take off on October 26, but the airline will have to compete with British Airways, which will soon be running flights to Bangkok from Gatwick in 2025.

At 5,173 nautical miles, the Gatwick to Bangkok route will be Norse Atlantic's fourth-longest.
