Leeds Bradford is Seasonal
The vast majority of the airlines that fly out of Leeds Bradford airport supply flights mainly to holidaymakers. This means that the airport is far quieter in the winter than it is the rest of the year.
Again taking Jet2 as an example, because they are primarily a holiday airline some of their flights are seasonal, so are only available in the late spring, summer and early autumn. However, they fly to fifteen destinations year round. Included in the list of destinations they fly to year round are several Spanish airports. Flights to Malaga, Alicante, Tenerife and Murcia are popular year round.
Winter Holidays in Spain
This is because these destinations offer plenty of winter sunshine. During the winter, accommodation in Spain is far cheaper than it is in the summer. Holidaymakers tend to be older, retired people who go away for up to three months at a time to get a break from the UK’s winter weather. Even the flights at this time of the year are cheaper. This means that the demographic of the people taking flights to Malaga, and other Spanish destinations, in the winter is changing. Increasingly younger couples on tight budgets are choosing to take their main two-week holiday in the winter rather than in the summer.
