UK consumers ranked only behind French residents for showing the highest intention of travelling within Europe this summer between 1 June and 31 August, according to analysis of flight searches from research firm Sojern.

The UK accounted for 19% of flight searches for European destinations this summer – only France was higher at 24.1%. Sojern said this pattern of demand was similar to results in February 2019.

Spain continues to be the top destination for European consumers with 46.4% of all flight bookings, followed by Greece, Portugal, France and Italy.
