Thanks to inclement weather and an equally gloomy news cycle, this February half term will be a record breaker.
The BBC has reported that holiday bookings are up 9 per cent compared to last year, according to a group of travel agents. The Advantage Travel Partnerships claimed that a “powerful psychological need for escape” had been generated by weeks of rain and the current political landscape. Meanwhile, Manchester Airport is predicted to have its busiest February half term on record, and airlines and tour operators including Jet2 have reported a rise in bookings.
