When booking a holiday flights from regional airports are the preferred option for the over 50s, according to new UK research.
A poll of more than 10,300 over 50s conducted on behalf of Saga Holidays found that 51 per cent prefer to fly from regional airports, with 46% overall stating they would pay more for the convenience. Only one in five respondents said they would rather fly from larger airports such as London Gatwick or Heathrow.
The research also revealed that over half of respondents would change airline in order to fly from their preferred regional airport. In addition, one in four would not book a holiday package from a travel company if it didn’t offer flights from their regional airport, and one in five would change their destination altogether.
