Most Brits have chosen mainland Spain or the Balearics for their holiday

Abta data published on Friday (25 August) shows that beach destinations such as mainland Spain, the Balearics and the Canary Islands remain people’s favourites while the popularity of Bulgaria and Turkey continues to rise.

 

It comes as figures from aviation firm Cirium show that Friday is set to be the busiest day for UK air travel in almost four years, with more than 3,130 flights scheduled to depart from British airports.
