Why pick a Long-haul holiday
A holiday’s classed as long-haul if it takes more than seven hours to fly there. So you’re pretty much guaranteed a proper change of scenery compared to back home – think tropical settings and cultural sights.
Fly west on a long-haul holiday, and you can pick from the likes of Mexico, Jamaica and Costa Rica. Head east, and you’ll find Sri Lanka, Thailand, India and more. In either direction, the holidays you can have are as unique as the destinations you’re travelling to – and you’re bound to experience something new. Budget-wise, there’s a whole range of options, so you’ll be able to find a trip that fits your plans.
