A record 900,000 British travellers are to fly with EasyJet over the Christmas period.
The airline expects a six per cent increase in carryings over last year.
The top ten destinations are Geneva, Belfast, Edinburgh, Malaga, Barcelona, Alicante, Paris, Glasgow, Amsterdam and Faro.
Also popular are winter sun destinations such as Egypt and the Canary Islands.
UK general manager Paul Simmons said: “The idea of a staycation is clearly passé.
“Getting away from the doom and gloom of the recession has proven to be a bigger incentive then ever before and it’s clear that people want to spend quality time with their family and friends.”
