Thomson is set to introduce a new direct flight from the UK to Tivat in Montenegro from summer 2010.
Citing the east European destination as "up and coming" the tour operator hopes to make the destination more accessible to holidaymakers.
With a flying time of less than three hours this seems a distinct possibility.
A new country after gaining independence in 2006 from the former Yugoslavia, Montenegro is an exotic and beautiful part of the world with a rich and colourful past.
Home to 117 beaches, the so-called Pearl of the Mediterranean offers a heady mix of resorts that cater for all tastes, whether looking to just relax on a sun bed or enjoy the various experiences this land has to offer.
The country's main resorts are situated along a breathtakingly beautiful coast, including the scenic and popular Becici beach, family friendly Ulcini and the lively town of Budvar, where Hollywood royalty (including the likes of Sophia Loren and Richard Burton) used to holiday.
