Two million Britons pack their bags in Easter exodus

Good news everyone:

Two million Britons are expected to go abroad this Easter, up 20 per cent on last year, with tomorrow expected to be the busiest day at UK airports.

Tim Williamson, customer director for Thomson and First Choice, said: “Our customers have told us that they regard their annual holiday as a necessity rather than a luxury, and that despite the difficult financial climate, they are still determined to travel.”

The most popular long-haul destinations for British Airways this weekend are New York, LA and Hong Kong, while the short-haul routes that will be busiest are Edinburgh, Paris and Geneva.
