We’re seeing demand for holidays is extremely high going into 2023, and bookings in the first and second week in January exceeded the volume during the corresponding week in 2019, pre-pandemic, the second week by 31%. 

“This large wave of interest shows that travellers are eager to make plans, as well as continuing to make up for lost time. Skyscanner surveyed over 2000 UK consumers in December 2022 and the responses show that people are making experiences a top priority in 2023. In the same survey it was clear that most UK respondents are planning to travel the same or in cases more than they did in 2022.” Said, Laura Lindsay, Skyscanner’s Trends and Destination Expert
