On average, in 2024 UK travellers expect to go on 2.2 trips – up from 2.0 – as airlines continue to “restore” their global networks to meet customer demand. 


Insurance (42%) and seat selection (34%) top the list of ancillary requests among the Britons surveyed. 


In-destination activities also impact the booking process, in particular local cuisine (52%), sightseeing (43%) and beach (40%).

Skyscanner reported 43% of UK travellers said that word of mouth was their top source of travel inspiration, followed by film and TV (28%) and guidebooks (23%).

Just 8% used TikTok compared to around 20% for YouTube and Instagram and 15% for Facebook.
