Euronews – According to new data from online travel agent loveholidays, British travellers are eyeing “spur-of-the-moment escapes” this summer, with bookings for next-day holidays increasing by 26% year-on-year.

Bookings made within two days of departure have also risen by 19%, the data revealed, while holidays booked within three days of travel are up 15% compared to last year.

Despite the short notice booking trend, the choice of holiday destinations remain “tried and tested”, said loveholidays.

Mallorca, Tenerife, Antalya, Costa Blanca and Ibiza are the five most popular choices for next-day departures, with each offering “reliable sunshine, short flight times and frequent flights from UK airports”.
