Mike Rutter, Chief Commercial Officer, Flybe, comments: "This Christmas period we've seen impressive booking figures across the entire route network, with domestic travel proving most popular for families looking to get together over the festive season.

“Travelling direct from regional airports is a far more convenient option for families, allowing them to avoid the heavily congested roads and the lengthy journey times associated with rail travel.

“We offer a great range of destinations from regions across the UK, and while there are still a number of seats left on some routes, we’d advise prospective travellers to book their Christmas seats now to ensure they bag their bargain!"
