Amid the wet and cold weather, searches in the UK for ‘cheap flights’ increased by 32% between the 21st and 27th of July, reaching their highest point in the past 12 months.
A spokesperson from QR Code Generator commented on the findings:
“It is disappointing to see that summer has been anticlimactic for many areas of the UK.
“With the poor weather conditions, it is no wonder searches for ‘cheap flights’ peaked during the last week of July, which suggests the British public are frustrated enough to book spontaneous trips abroad.
“The UK summer season technically ends on the 22nd of September, so hopefully these areas will experience some sunny and warm days before then.”
