    Well I'm off to Ascension Island for 12 weeks starting December so that's definitely trending in our house, especially with the missus, who's going to keep the home fires burning - literally :)

    Somewhere long haul on https://www.norwegian.no because there is no long haul Air Asia from the UK?

    I'd have a small wager on the following as being popular for this winter for those looking for warmth and sunshine;

    On the Up

    Thailand (with Thomson introducing direct flights with their new B787)

    Dom Rep (good value accommodation plus great improvements with the quality of all-inclusive hotels)

    Mexico (seems to be the popular long haul destination of choice for many at the moment)

    Egypt ( I'd expect to see quite a few good deals in Sharm and Hurgarda this winter)

    Going Down

    Goa (hassle and expense of a tourist visa)

    Tunisia ( decline continues...)

    Benidorm. Ladies: buy a new strappie to show off your tats. Gentlemen:
    Lots of flowery shorts and grey vests in the shops right now (on discount).
    You can't go wrong with Beni!
    Normal people worry me.
