Flights cancelled? Holiday plans scuppered? Then why not come to Blackpool!

With many foreign holidays affected by numerous flight cancellations and huge queues at airports, Blackpool is increasingly being seen as a hassle-free alternative.

The 2022 summer foreign holiday season has turned into a complete disaster for many families with flight cancellations and huge airport queues scuppering many plans and forcing holidaymakers into making alternative plans.

Indeed while the chaos ensues at many airports up and down the country, many families are deciding to take all of the stress out of their holiday plans by taking their well-earned vacation closer to home.

The big winners here have been seaside resorts and Blackpool is easily the most popular in the country. It’s hard not to see why with many coming for the golden sands, the piers, the Blackpool Tower, the thrilling rollercoasters, the theatre shows and comedy acts, the ballroom and the world-famous illuminations.

There’s no need to wait for hours on end in an airport queue, no concerns about your flight being cancelled, no worry about your foreign destination suddenly imposing draconian Covid-related visitor restrictions, just a simple drive along the motorway or a trip on the train (assuming they are running) to your hotel.

Blackpool is a real jewel looking out over the Irish Sea and there are countless things to do for families of all ages. The summer 2022 season is packed full of events such as the Blackpool Airshow and Blackpool Illuminations, the latter extended once again into the new year.

The choice of hotels and guest houses is huge, while there are many great restaurants which cater for all tastes. Bars and pubs galore line the famous promenade, while the famous heritage trams take you back to a more genteel age.
