The cheapest destinations to fly to this summer from each of the UK’s major airports have been revealed.
Researchers from TravelSupermarket looked at prices for seven-night holidays between May and September and discovered there are plenty of great value options on offer.
Steph Marinkovic, head of editorial at TravelSupermarket, says: ‘What’s fascinating about our research is how much prices can vary depending on which UK airport you fly from.
‘The data clearly shows that savvy holidaymakers might want to consider travelling to a neighbouring city that’s a little further away if they’re looking for the best possible deal.
‘In some cases, the savings can be substantial enough to cover the extra travel costs.’
