As part of our series of top local airport destinations, we’re asking the question, where to go to from Cardiff?

  • Top of our list are the theme parks of Florida, flying direct to Orlando Sanford, because... well, who doesn’t want to go to Disney? It’s perfect for children of all ages. The theme parks are simply out of this world. Splashworld, Dreamworks, or the newly opened Wizarding World of Harry Potter are just some of the amazing places to visit. We’d be willing to bet it’ll be one of your most memorable holidays ever. And the best bit is it’s just a few hours direct from Cardiff.
  • How do you fancy a full on chilled holiday of a lifetime? We think Bridgetown, Barbados, is a great place to get it. Caribbean sunshine, perfect, white, soft sandy beaches, crystal clear warm waters. How about a cocktail as you relax in a hammock under a palm tree? Sound like a good idea to you? Then book from Cardiff to Bridgetown today! We’re starting to daydream just thinking about it all. One question, can you take us with you please?
  • Sharm El Sheikh has something to suit every budget and every whim. Just a few hours from Cardiff, Sharm’s biggest advantage must surely be its amazing weather. You can laze on the beach or by the pool topping up your tan. Take a couple of day trips and learn about the ancient pharaohs, keep the kids busy with the aqua parks, or grab a few bargains at some of the markets!? It really is one of the ultimate holiday getaways.
  • Right on the Black Sea, Bourgas in Bulgaria is the perfect base for a bit of exploring around the country, or simply heading straight for the beach to indulge in that amazing hospitality and weather. Bourgas is ideal for a nice chilled out family holiday, with child friendly beaches and plenty of facilities. If you’re after a bit of adventure, there are loads of water sports like surfing or banana boating on most of the beaches and even paragliding and quad biking on offer. They are just a few reasons to go to Bourgas from Cardiff.
  • Cardiff recently announced its direct flights to Barcelona. The stunning Catalonian city in Northern Spain is great for a weekend away. You’ll be charmed by the legendary Sagrada Familia or Park Guell. A Saturday afternoon is well spent strolling down the busy main street, called the Ramblas picking up some famous Spanish tapas. And we think the Camp Nou to see Barcelona in action is one of the best ways to round off a weekend in sunny Spain.
