AS the nights draw in and the days become colder, sunny warm days seem like a distant memory – so there couldn’t be a better time to book a winter sun holiday.
And the good news is that it doesn’t have to cost you an arm and a leg.
New research by TravelSupermarket has revealed the most affordable winter sun destinations from the UK’s biggest airports.
Comparing prices for a week in the sun between November and February 2027, results found that some airports cost twice as much as others – so if you live near two airports, one might be cheaper to fly from than the other.
Chris Webber, Head of Holidays and Deals at TravelSupermarket, said: “Where you fly from makes a huge difference to the cost of winter sun this year – even neighbouring airports can vary wildly as Agadir averages £598 per person from Edinburgh but £784 from Glasgow, a difference of £186 for the same destination.”
Here’s a full run- down of the best deals at each of the UK’s major airports:
