Families can expect to pay nearly twice as much for a holiday abroad this October half term compared with 2019, according to research conducted by Which?. The consumer group found flights were 42 per cent more expensive than before the pandemic.
It comes as the country is gripped in a cost of living crisis and airlines face rising fuel costs. Demand for foreign holidays has also soared this year as countries scrapped their coronavirus travel restrictions.
Which? analysed data from Skytra which revealed huge price rises for flights across the country. The average cost of one-way half-term tickets for six popular destinations came in at £212 this year compared to £150 in 2019.
