UK domestic flights are the most popular with British travellers for the May Day Bank Holiday weekend, according to Flybe. The regional budget airline is reporting passenger numbers up by almost 20% year-on-year, with its Belfast City Airport - Manchester route the most popular.
Along with the flights between Belfast City and Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Gatwick and Southampton are popular destinations, according to the airline. Flybe's chief commercial officer, Mike Rutter, said: ‘When you take into consideration the added value of avoiding frustrating, time-consuming and environmentally damaging motorway queues – not to mention the economic benefit from savings made on the ever increasing cost of petrol and diesel – choosing to travel with Flybe’s efficient and friendly service makes even more sense than usual.’

1. Belfast City to Manchester
2. Jersey to Gatwick
