Leaving home to go on holiday can be fun

Home, as they say, is where the heart is. However, we all love to travel, whether it’s to a UK destination or to an overseas one. Nothing quite matches the excitement of setting out on a long journey. For venturing abroad, the airport is the most popular option, but there are also plenty of people who use the ferries and hovercrafts to get to the continent.

Britain’s major airports are among the busiest in the world, handling millions of passengers every year. As a starting point for a holiday, they have a range of amenities to help the traveller. An excellent selection of shops, located before and after the check-in desk, supply all the necessary products to make the trip more bearable.

Take to the air

Short trips to the major European capitals such as Paris, Amsterdam and Berlin, are quick, easy and convenient. Journeys across the Atlantic to destinations such as New York and Toronto take a little longer. The longest plane journeys of all are to Australia and New Zealand, and can take best part of a whole day.

From home to holiday by sea and road

Britain’s ferry ports take passengers to a varied selection of destinations. The south coast of England, for example, is the ideal area for journeys to France and Spain. Plymouth, Newhaven and Dover are just some of the locations. From Scotland, there are journeys available to Ireland and Belgium, while the east coast of England has ferries to the Netherlands.
For motorists, the UK’s motorway and A-road network means all parts of the country are easily reachable by car. Whether you’re planning to visit one of the big cities, or perhaps a seaside resort,you can do so with ease.
