10 places to fly this Spring for under £40

Spring is often one of the best periods to travel in Europe. Avoiding the peak season crowds, stifling hot weather is replaced by the spring blossom and crucially you don’t have to pay the increasingly expensive summer airfares. So we used our favourite tool for sourcing some of the best value flights in Europe this spring – the sky scanner “Everywhere” function which is a dream for those of us who are inflicted with severe wanderlust!

Now we used London as the departure city as that’s where most of our guests fly from but you can replace this with the airport that suits you, then in the destination you simply put “Everywhere”. Finally, for the best prices flexibility is key so in the Departure and Return Date boxes you select “Flexible dates”, the month you are looking to travel and then search….. then like magic you’ll find all the places you can travel starting with the cheapest! So we picked out our favourite 10 destinations you could fly to (and back) this spring for under £40.
