Many of us are looking ahead to our 2025 holiday plans, or squeezing in a late 2024 break, but the journey to one of the London airports can often put people off booking their breaks. But with a large number of choices on offer from the Hampshire airport, which is just a short car or train ride away, the answer could be a flight from Southampton instead.
From Paris and Edinburgh, to the Costa de Sol and the Algarve, we look at the destinations on offer at the airport – and for more details or to book visit www.southamptonairport.com
