Alicante is a leading destination in Spain’s Costa Blanca and is also the best airport to reach popular resorts such as Benidorm.
A little closer to home, Dublin was the fourth most popular destination for a summer holiday but tourists might find accommodation very expensive in the Irish capital.
New York grabbed fifth place on the list and is another pricey destination for British tourists this year.
A cheaper choice might be Istanbul, number eight on Skyscanner’s list, as the British pound is fairly strong against the Turkish lira.
Faro, the jewel of Portugal’s Algarve coast, is another good value destination with almost guaranteed sunshine.
Laura Lindsay, Skyscanner’s trends and destination expert, said: “There are great deals for those who know how to shop around and remaining flexible on times and destinations will ultimately get savvy travellers the best prices.”
The team recommends checking flight prices for the whole month to find the cheapest day to travel to a destination.
British tourists can also set a price alert on Skyscanner or another flight comparison site to monitor the cost of their flight.
Other popular destinations for Britons included Sydney, Bangkok, Orlando and Singapore with Melbourne and Perth also making the list.
