EasyJet said the Red Sea resort Hurghada had “led the way” for beach breaks despite the situation in the Middle East, with Tenerife and Lanzarote also popular. It added: “Bookings to Tunisia during the start of the sale saw a boost compared to last year.”
Flights to Amsterdam, Paris, Geneva, Alicante and Malaga proved most popular during the sale’s first week. Among package customers, all-inclusive seven-night breaks were in highest demand. Paris, Amsterdam and Reykjavik proved most popular for city escapes for stays of three to five nights.
