Scots can make their way to the French city from Edinburgh Airport.
The first flight took off on June 26 and will operate every Thursday and Sunday throughout the summer.
The new twice-weekly services are perfect for a long weekend to the heart of France's fantastic wine country.
Travellers to Bordeaux can explore the historic city, famous for its beautiful stone façades and fine wines.
The city also attracts visitors with its delicious food and lively cultural scene.
Culture vultures can visit the Cité du Vin to learn about the history and production of wine, and experience the Bassins de Lumières, a unique art museum that uses light and sound to create immersive experiences.
After exploring the city's museums, travellers can head to the city's historic centre, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and sample Bordeaux's many culinary delights and its world-class wines.
Passengers can get their hands on seats available at and via the app from £35.99.
Package holidays are now on offer to the new route, with a range of four and five star hotels available.
Packages start from just £187 per person.
