00:00If you're a regular traveller through Newcastle Airport, you'll know that many long-haul destinations

00:06require you to get a connecting flight from say London or Amsterdam, which if you're a

00:10fan of the destination and not the journey, that can be annoying.

00:16The furthest you can travel directly from Newcastle Airport is Cancun in Mexico. You

00:20can also travel to Dubai, Orlando, Florida, New York, Bali, Bangkok and Cape Town.

00:27However, if you're really not a fan of long-haul flights or looking for a quick trip somewhere,

00:31the shortest abroad flights from Newcastle are Brussels, Dusseldorf, Amsterdam, Berlin,

00:36Copenhagen and Paris that all take two hours or less on a plane.

00:42These locations all have similar temperatures to the UK so if you're looking for somewhere

00:45particularly hot to travel to, the summer months would be better for those destinations

00:50but on the colder summer days you can still be looking at lower temperatures of the mid-teens.

00:55If you plan to only pack bikinis or swimming shorts, the Canary or Balearic Islands include

01:00lovely warm holiday destinations such as Gran Canaria which has temperatures above 20 degrees

01:05all year round, Tenerife with its warm winds from North Africa, Lanzarote which is your

01:11warmest overall of the Canary Islands and they all typically take between four and five

01:15hours directly from Newcastle Airport.

01:20There's also Ibiza, Mallorca, Menorca which are all great weather-wise during the summer

01:25months and you're looking at less than three hours on a flight.

01:29The Greek islands such as Santorini, Crete, Rhodes and Kos are all great sun holidays

01:34that take around four hours on a flight.

01:37It's important to note that Teesside International Airport offers flights to some of these locations

01:41too, so it's worth checking out if that's the closest airport to you to save some money

01:46on airport transfer costs.

01:49But where do some of you plan to travel in 2025?

01:54Ooh, it's a good question.

01:56My friends really want to go camping somewhere and yeah, my friend Noah, he's obsessed with

02:01camping.

02:02Noah, if you see this, I don't know if you will.

02:04Maybe, maybe get somewhere, maybe go to Turkey, maybe Spain, somewhere cheap, somewhere nice.

02:09Anywhere for you?

02:11Not a chance.

02:12Not in this economy.

02:14Oh wow, okay.

02:16Fares, fares.

02:17I probably will never go away again because I'm always skint.

02:21I'm not, because of my health, travel's not probably a good idea.

02:24My favourite place used to be the Greek islands.

02:27Absolutely love Greece.

02:28Absolutely love it.

02:29Where in the Pacific anyway?

02:30Well, Santorini obviously is just incredible, but I've been to most of them, I went to Paros,

02:37Crikey Rhodes, Crete, obviously all the popular ones.

02:40I'm trying to think where else I've been.

02:43Aegina.

02:44Yeah, I went about 12 years in a row.

02:48Not this year.

02:50If I could go anywhere right now, I'd love to go to France on a skiing holiday.

02:53Oh God, I've never done that before.

02:55It's great.

02:56But yeah, I'm hoping to do that next year instead.
