Here at HOC we love a holiday and, we love a fact. Fact! So if you’re looking to escape the UK during the rest of October – seeing as we’re full blown in the midst of a beautiful but albeit chilly autumn – then we’ve got some interesting stats for you to consider!

Consumer flight search data by trusted holiday price comparison website, dealchecker, reveals the top ten destinations Brits will be heading to this October half-term, with Dubai, Barcelona and New York on the cards for many.

Top 10 holidays destinations, and the average temperature highs in October:

  1. Tenerife 26˚
  2. Dubai 35˚
  3. Alicante 25˚
  4. Istanbul 20˚
  5. Faro 23˚
  6. Barcelona 23˚
  7. New York 18˚
  8. Fuerteventura 24˚
  9. Gran Canaria 21˚
  10. Lanzarote 26˚

Rosie Panter, travel expert at dealchecker commented: “The October half-term is often seen by many to be the last chance for sun before the winter months set in, and it’s clear from the flight search data captured that this is still the case.

Destinations such as Dubai remain popular with those looking for slightly shorter breaks of between four and five nights, while holiday hot spots in Spain, Portugal and Turkey offer great week-long all-inclusive holidays. Meanwhile New York makes for a great city to visit in the run up to Halloween and Thanksgiving, with lots of festivities for families to get involved in, along with a little pre-Christmas shopping and sightseeing.”

Do you have plans to visit any of the list above? If so, we’d love to hear about it!
