Edith Bowman launches BA flight to Ibiza

Radio 1 DJ Edith Bowman has launched BA’s new flight from Edinburgh to Ibiza. And the Scottish presenter has come up with Top 10 “must-have” items if you are holidaying on the Mediterranean isle.

Flights operate on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays throughout the summer, with one-way fares from £65, so sun-seekers can book a short or longer stay. At Edinburgh airport, Edith said: “This is great news for people trying to get out to the island this summer. Being able to fly direct gives Scottish holidaymakers maximum time on holiday.”

Edith’s Top 10 must-have items:

  1. First things first – sun cream. Don’t take for granted the strength and damage the sun can do to you. Get a good separate face SPF too.
  2. Great bikini (or swimming trunks!) An essential – and go for something that has colour!
  3. Denim shorts. They are such a versatile item that can work great to throw on to go to the beach or dress up for going out.
  4. iPod or MP3. Always essential to make a few great playlists on there too for a trip to Ibiza. One for clubbing, one for getting ready and then a nice chilled out daytime vibe.
  5. Good pair of shades is a must. I normally take a few pairs as I seem to almost always lose them. I’m sure there is a secret sunglasses mountain somewhere.
  6. Hats. I love to take a few hats with me. Great for shade if you are on the beach or maybe go for a hike or boat trip.
  7. Books. Holidays and sunshine for me provide a great opportunity to get through that pile of books I never seem to find the time to read.
  8. Berocca. I think it’s fair to say there might be a night out or two in Ibiza. Have one of these when you get in and you will wake up brighter and breezier than you expect.
  9. Clothes wise it’s a great opportunity to experiment I think. I feel more confident in the sun with a bit of a tan so that can be reflected in what I pack. Cute little summer dresses and a great silky jumpsuit will do you wonders in this environment. Those type of things can be worn with both a stylish flat sandal or a fun heel.
  10. Last but by no means least a camera. Phones are great and easy for capturing those fun silly moments but I like to take my proper camera to try and explore and capture the people and landscape of this beautiful island.
