CEO Gareth Williams commented: “Bank holidays are notoriously busy and this has been the most searched for weekend we’ve seen this year so we anticipate hundreds of additional British holiday makers will be flying off. Those travelling to London airports should be conscious of the current roadworks on the M25 and due to the sheer volume of passengers filtering through security we are urging travellers to build in at least an extra hour in to their journey time to avoid missing flights.

“There are some great last minute deals to be had as airlines strive to build holiday maker confidence.”
