So the airline's news that it has launched flights to a stunning coastal destination comes at the perfect time for those who are already looking ahead.
Holidaygoers will now be able to fly directly from Edinburgh to Malaga through easyJet for the first time this winter.
This means that Scots will now have a direct route to Spain's southern coast as the country gets battered with snow, rain and wind.
Spain's sun-drenched Costa del Sol, Málaga, offers the perfect blend of relaxation, culture, and adventure.
From its bustling port and palm-lined promenades to hilltop castles and cutting-edge art galleries, the city is a dynamic mix of old and new.
And travellers can explore ancient Moorish architecture at the Alcazaba, browse contemporary exhibits at the Centre Pompidou, or take a day trip to nearby whitewashed villages in the Andalusian hills.

Since it has a mild winter climate, lively tapas bars, and easy access to both coast and countryside, it is an ideal choice for beach lovers, culture seekers, and weekend explorers alike.
Flights to Malaga are scheduled to take off on October 28, kicking off a seasonal service that will run twice a week.
Holidaygoers will have the choice of flying on Tuesdays and Saturdays, meaning it is perfect for a long weekend getaway.
Fares for the new flights start from £40.99 per journey.

All package holidays to Malaga from Edinburgh include flights, hotel, 23kg luggage and transfers, and are all covered by easyJet holidays' Ultimate Flexibility.
Sophie Dekkers, easyJet's Chief Commercial Officer, said: 'It's fantastic to be able to offer our customers yet another new winter route from Edinburgh to the vibrant Málaga in Spain.
"Whether they're seeking a sun-soaked beach escape, a cultural city break, or simply a relaxing long weekend on Spain's Costa del Sol.
'This is the fifth new winter route we've added to our Scottish network this year, as we continue to provide even more connectivity for our customers in Scotland, along with a fantastic service and great value fares.'
Jonny Macneal, Edinburgh Airport's Head of Aviation, added: "Winter doesn't need to mean rain and sleet when you have some fantastic options for sunshine, such as easyJet's new route to Malaga.
"We know there are always passengers looking to escape to sunnier climates during our winter period.
"So it's great to be able to work with our airline partners to offer them that choice."
