Who should book a October getaway?
What type of person is an October holiday best for? Who is tempted by a cheeky autumn getaway? Here’s who we think would love one.
Autumn sun chasers
The summer is well and truly over in the UK, and the thought of dark, cold mornings is giving you the shivers. But with an October holiday, you’ve got something to raise the spirits completely as the nights draw in. It’s the perfect time to treat yourself to a little bit more sun. With plenty of places across southern Europe and North Africa still enjoying warm, sunbathing weather, you’ll be spoilt for choice.
Seasonal explorers
October is also a brilliant time to do some exploring when you’re on holiday. In summer, it can be a too hot to do anything other than crash out by the pool. But October, generally, offers the best of both worlds. You get some warm weather and sun, but it’s cool enough to wander around a city centre, go for a walk in the countryside or visit local attractions while they’re not swarmed by tourists.
Frequently asked questions about holidays in October
FAQs
Is October a good month for a beach holiday?
October is a fantastic month for a beach holiday. There are plenty of places across Europe and North Africa that are still warm, but far quieter and cheaper than they would be in the summer. The seawater is generally a lovely temperature for a swim too, as it’s had all summer to warm up.
Are flights cheaper in October?
Flights are generally cheaper in October as it falls in the shoulder season when demand is dropping off. You can often find bargains as airlines reduce prices to fill seats. However, watch out for school October half term dates which can cause a spike in demand and lead to pricier fares.
What are the best types of holidays in October?
October is great for a late beach holiday or a city break. You’ll get hot, sunbathing weather in places such as the Canary Islands, Cyprus and Egypt, and lovely warm seawater that’s perfect for swimming. It’s also a good time to get out and about exploring a city like Amsterdam, as it’ll be pleasant and mild without being uncomfortably hot.
Where is hot in October for a holiday?
There are lots of holiday destinations that are hot in October. The Canary Islands, such as Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria or Lanzarote, are always popular with Brits and see average temperatures of 24°C. Beachfront areas in Turkey such as Antalya and Dalaman get similar daytime weather, while Sharm el Sheikh in Egypt is even warmer at around 29°C.
Is October a busy travel month?
October isn’t typically a busy travel month. It’s far quieter than the summer months from June to August. However, there can be brief surges during school October half terms, which are usually towards the end of the month. Different UK regions have slightly different dates for these breaks, so certain airports may get busier at different times.
