Cheap flights in April: Easter breaks and spring city trips
Looking for cheap flights in April? April is heavily shaped by Easter and the school holidays. If Easter falls in the first half, the second half of April becomes a value window. Otherwise, expect elevated fares across the whole month, especially around the two bank holidays.
Where to fly in April from the UK
Europe is at its spring peak: Rome, Barcelona, Lisbon, Amsterdam, Seville — comfortable temperatures and pre-summer prices. Japan hits full cherry-blossom bloom in the first two weeks. Turkey and Cyprus warm up enough for early-season beach breaks.
How to save
Book Easter travel by early February — it's the year's second-biggest school demand pocket after August. Cherry-blossom Japan needs 2-3 months' lead time. Post-Easter weeks are often 30-40% cheaper.
