Palma, Vienna, Paris, Pisa, Brussels: Return flights for less than £30 next month

Ongoing issues at airports across the UK coupled with the fact that airlines have been cancelling hundreds of flights in recent months, might leave Brits feeling uncertain when it's comes to booking their summer holidays. It is approaching the middle of June so those looking to book a much-needed break should be thinking about doing so sooner rather than later.

While anxieties about travel and losing money might be high due to the ongoing uncertainty, it might make more sense to look for bargain flight options so that if it does not go ahead for whatever reason - you’ve not got too much cash on the line. Tom Church, co-founder of LatestDeals.co.uk, has found some flight options from airports across the UK to various popular destinations for £30 or under.

He said: ‘With so much travel uncertainty for those of us wanting to jet off on a getaway in the next few months, it makes sense to find some bargain options - so that, in the event that your travel does get cancelled, you’ve not got too much cash on the line.

‘If you can get some time off work or book the kids in for a holiday abroad as the summer holidays begin, here are some of my top choices - and these flights will leave you enough money spare to have a great time on your trip.’
