Dreaming of an escape but on a budget?
Your wanderlust has come at the right time, as airlines are slashing the price of fares for Black Friday weekend.
Plane travel can be expensive, but if you book at the right time you can snap up flights at a fraction of the cost, with a wide range of destinations and dates to choose from.
At budget carriers like Easyjet, flights to locations across Europe are available from under £20; perfect for a weekend getaway or sightseeing city break.
If you’re planning on going further afield, the savings get bigger too. The BA sale, for example, includes trips to far-flung destinations around the world – all with purse-friendly reductions.
Here’s where to nab the best deals on flights to and from the UK.
Easyjet
For city breaks, Easyjet offers some seriously tempting discounts.
Over 60,000 seats are priced at under £25, including UK flights to Amsterdam from £20.99, Milan from £19.99, and Lisbon from £22.99.
Beach and ski destinations are also reduced: fly to Majorca in January from £18.99, or visit Geneva in April from £19.99 each way.
Prices are based on two people sharing and the airline doesn’t offer a comparison service, so double-check before booking to ensure you’re getting the best deal.
