Many of us are looking ahead to our 2024 holiday plans, 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.
13. Majorca
Majorca’s appeal is enduring with over 260 beaches to choose from, you can fly to Majorca with British Airways on Sundays and with easyJet on Mondays and Thursdays. Photo: Contributed
14. Malaga (Costa del Sol)
If it's sun, sea and sangria you're yearning for, then the Costa del Sol is calling your name - and you can fly to Malaga with British Airways on Sundays from Southampton Airport. Its many resorts include popular Torremolinos, upmarket Marbella, Benalmádena, Nerja and Frigiliana. Photo: Artur Bogacki
15. Glasgow
Fly daily to Glasgow with easyJet and Loganair and explore Glasgow which is Scotland's biggest city and boasts more than 90 parks and the Botanic Gardens to escape to, while Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park is within reach. Hop on a bike using the public cycle hire scheme or take a guided walking tour to discover the city’s famous son Charles Rennie Mackintosh, artistic wall murals, or Glasgow’s ghostly, grisly past or take a walk alongside the Clyde.
