With a delicious buffet of choices right on your doorstep, you can be in a new city, tucking into a culture-filled weekend or treating yourself to a shopping spree in a matter of hours. Your city breaks can be tailored to any and all of your wants and needs, and when you book a stay with Booking.com, you'll earn eight points per £1.

And why not fly there in style? Virgin Atlantic is the long-haul traveller’s best friend, with dream destinations like Barbados, the Maldives, or New York. Onboard you’re guaranteed warm, welcoming service, award-winning entertainment, thoughtful design touches and stylish comfort for the best experience in the sky, no matter which cabin you fly.
