Iberian hotspots 'popular this bank holiday' |
Villa holidays in the Algarve and other hotspots on the Iberian peninsula are set to prove popular this bank holiday weekend, based on passenger figures from low-cost airline easyJet.
The carrier said that it expects to carry 450,000 holidaymakers on its flights over the May bank holiday weekend.
Algarve villas are set to be a popular choice, with Faro among the top three destinations for easyJet passengers, along with Alicante and Malaga in Spain.
The Catalan capital of Barcelona, close to the Spanish Costa Brava, is set to be one of the top city break locations for people travelling with easyJet.
Airline PR executive Marianne West said: "More people than ever are taking advantage of their bank holiday weekends, with over 450,000 passengers jetting off across Europe with easyJet to soak up a little sun or experience a few cultural days away on a city break.
"It's impossible to rely on the great British weather and, let's face it, sunshine and relaxation is far more appealing than DIY."
People planning villa holidays can catch flights with easyJet to 103 airports in 26 countries.
