Travel search site Skyscanner reveals the most popular destinations that Brits are heading to for New Year.
The data, based on user searches on the cheap flights search engine, Skyscanner, threw up an intriguing mix of locations in sunny, city and even snowy destinations that Brits are travelling to for their New Year celebrations.
In the number one position, New York topped the bill as the most searched for destination – and was the only city outside of Europe to feature in the top ten. The big apple has long been one of the most famous places to see in the New Year, and the weakening US dollar and availability of cheap flights to New York may help explain its popularity.
In second place was Tenerife, a long time favourite for Brits seeking escape from the UK’s winter gloom. The church square in Los Cristianos hosts thousands of revellers waiting to pop their bottles of Cava – and like everywhere else, you’ll be able to join the locals “oohing” and “aahing” over the spectacular firework display if you grab some last minute flights to Tenerife soon.
