Public Holidays give a great chance to get away on long weekends or other short trips requiring no (or at least reduced) annual leave. Get a free day off, may as well use it to go somewhere! Often airlines can put prices up around the public holidays as they know people want to use them to get away somewhere, but good deals can still be found. Below is the list of Public Holiday dates for the rest of 2026 for Eng, Sco, Wal, ROI and NI:
