Mountain high

Northern sights

The SAS seat sale continues until Tuesday.

Italian escape

Citalia's current sale includes a twin-centre trip to Tuscany for £699pp. Departing on 10 April with easyJet flights from Gatwick, the trip starts with a three-night stay at the four-star Hotel Brunelleschi in Florence, which has rooms overlooking the Duomo, and includes breakfast and one dinner. Next, internal rail transfers whisk you off to the commune of Viareggio on the Tuscan coast, for a week-long stay at the Grand Royal Hotel, on a half-board basis (citalia.com).
