Our favourite destinations in the UK

Our UK flights open up the way to an abundance of idiosyncratic Britishness and cultural experiences. Each of our UK destinations is slightly different, but they all have a similar vibe. London is the perfect location for sight seeing, shopping and watching shows. Manchester offers great comedy, festivals and world famous sporting arenas.

Parks and botanical gardens offer an escape from fast paced city living, or leave them behind completely to explore magnificent countryside, chocolate box villages and the awesome scenery of the likes of the Lake District and Scotland's Highlands.

Planning a trip to the U.K?

When you think of the UK, what comes to mind? Fish and chips? Red double-decker buses? Cups of tea? Well, those are just a few of the things that makes Britain, well, British.

There are the iconic cities like London (think Buckingham Palace, theatre performances, the London Eye, pub roast dinners) and Manchester (think football matches, amazing shopping and a great music scene). But there’s also so much more – there’s lakes, mountains, and sandy beaches all across the country. And that’s just the start.
