With the launch of the ‘End of Summer Sale,’ British Airways Holidays has revealed the most popular destinations for 2025 holidays so far while also examining the biggest trends and changes over the past 12 months.
New York’s timeless appeal has once again earned it the top spot for 2025. Meanwhile, Phuket and Bangkok are gaining traction as potential holiday hotspots, likely fuelled by the buzz surrounding the upcoming third season of an Emmy-winning TV comedy-drama. They’ve secured 16th and 20th place, respectively.
Several new destinations have also piqued the interest of UK travellers. Nashville debuts at number 22, possibly driven by the revival of country music, while Corfu enters at 23, boosted by a surge of new hotel openings. Australia makes a late entry, securing the 25th spot to complete the list.
The impressive array of sporting events scheduled to take place in Los Angeles, such as the Super Bowl and the Olympics, is likely driving the destination’s recent popularity. Additionally, Grenada’s appearance on the list could be linked to the positive exposure it received in a recent hit TV show, which has piqued the interest of viewers and potential travellers.
