GoEuro research reveals that people living in the north of England pay more to travel to hotter destinations.
Northerners will pay more than southerners for their winter sun half term holidays, according to research carried out by multi-mode travel search website GoEuro.
Holidaymakers travelling from Manchester and Newcastle to the Mediterranean and North Africa over half term will pay £12.75 and £11.35 respectively for each degree Celsius rise in temperature, compared to Londoners who will pay just £10.63. For example, the return cost of travelling from Manchester to Santa Cruz de Tenerife is £486.80, compared to £299.00 return from London.
