Short-Haul Holidays
Short-haul holidays remain increasingly popular with British travellers, with holidaymakers continuing to take advantage of the huge choice of destinations on offer throughout Europe. Boasting quick and manageable flight times of just a few hours, short-haul holidays offer excellent value for money and account for most of the trips taken each summer, with hordes of travellers taking off to enjoy the wonderful weather found throughout the Mediterranean.


Short-Haul Holidays - Huge choice of European destinations from the UK
Defined as having a flight time of less than 5 hours from the UK, short-haul holidays can offer a wealth of travel options. For those looking for a short-haul holiday with a very quick flight time, try any of the Spanish resorts, from the ever-popular Costa’s to the Balearic Islands, just a couple of hours away. Short-haul holidays also include Greece and the Greek Islands, with the closest island, Corfu, being just 3 hours away and more southerly islands such as Crete and Rhodes taking around 4 hours. Turkey has become an increasingly popular destination for a more exotic short-haul holiday, and the Canary Islands continue to attract many throughout the winter months, with their year-round spring-like weather - both lie just 4 hours away. 

Short-Haul Holidays - Convenient and reasonably-priced, ideal for a package deal
With cheap charter flights creating endless possibilities for short-haul package holidays, there is now more choice than ever for those looking for a relaxing week or fortnight away - any time of year. As well as the major UK airports, short-haul holidays can be directly taken from an increasing number of regional airports around the country, resulting in much more convenient trips for many, and shorter travel time in general. Short-haul holidays are particularly appealing for families, as most parents do not relish the thought of many hours on a plane entertaining small children, and in fact many holidaymakers still consider the length of flight time a large factor in their choice of final destination. As importantly, short-haul holidays offer destinations with minimal time changes from the UK, therefore no jet lag to contend with either way.
