Holidays From Liverpool Airport

Holiday Destinations From Liverpool Airport

There are loads of great destinations from Liverpool, in fact there are over 150 direct and indirect destinations, including fab city breaks and gorgeous beach holidays. While you might be surprised to hear that there aren't direct options to places like Prague, Venice or New York, here are some of the most popular ones.

The Algarve, Portugal

The Algarve is an easy holiday destination, with flights from Liverpool to Faro taking a little less than 3 hours. Ryanair, easyJet and Jet2 all have the Algarve on their list of destinations at some point in the year, but be mindful there is a typical holiday season here so not all flights will be year round.

Ibiza, Balearic Islands

If you love to let your hair down, Ibiza is a brilliant holiday. Part of the Balearic Islands, Ibiza is well known for its pool parties and beach bars, but don't be fooled that that's all there is. You'll also find great family friendly resorts, as well as some quieter, hidden beaches dotted around the island too.

Lanzarote, Canary Islands

For year round sunshine, Lanzarote in the Canary Islands is a very good option. Hot in summer and still fairly warm for most of the winter (and definitely warmer than the UK), like the other islands of Fuerteventura, Tenerife and Gran Canaria, Lanzarote has great hotels and resorts, beautiful beaches and plenty to see and do if you want to escape the confines of your hotel and pool.

Malta

Malta is a really good sun and city break destination. Although it does get a little cooler in the winter between October and April, the sun still shines a lot and you can combine spending time relaxing by the pool with a trip into the historic streets of Valletta.

Within The UK

There are direct flights to both Belfast and the Isle of Man, allowing you to enjoy a short escape without having to leave the country. You can also fly to Jersey in the Channel Islands to enjoy a bit more of the warmer UK weather.

Holiday Types

All Inclusive

With package holidays, you can easily book your flight and an all inclusive hotel together, and if you book with Jet2holidays, your luggage and airport transfers are included as well. While the initial cost might seem a little higher, once you've added on these extras with other companies like On The Beach and loveholidays, it can actually be a great way to save money.

Last Minute

More flights have been added to Liverpool so the options for a last minute holiday are much better. You might still need to be flexible with where you go, but you can jet off to the sunshine within days.
