Asian adventure or sun-drenched Mediterranean?
According to the data, Asia is having a moment this summer. Nearly half of all the destinations in the top 10 most-searched are in the region, with Bangkok and Manila leading as the top two – both with return flights that are the same or cheaper than last year.

For beach-seeking holiday-goers, Alicante and Malaga hold high rankings in the trending searches, with 8% and 9% decreases in price from last year respectively.

Best time to travel this summer
Based on KAYAK's findings, June and September are the best times to fly without breaking the bank. In late July, international return flight prices from the UK reach an average of £791, compared to just £491 in mid-June, and £233 in September. In fact, the busiest days for British travellers to fly out will be July 18 and 19 2025, according to the data. The same trend can be seen in domestic flights, with an average return flight price of £118 in late July, compared to £94 in mid-June and £93 by mid-September.

Rachel Mumford, KAYAK UK Travel Expert, said: "Winter's chill is fading, and wanderlust is heating up, and the great news is that so many sought-after destinations are seeing drops in prices this summer.

"Though the peak season is upon us, KAYAK's equipped with an array of tools that can help travel-seekers ensure they're getting the best possible travel advice and deals for their long-awaited summer getaway. For instance, our Best Time to Travel tool allows travellers to tap into our data and deduce the best times to get the whole package: good weather, avoiding crowds, and saving on costs."
