Check out these 7 winter escapes direct from Liverpool John Lennon Airport

 Well it’s official, Summer is over, but Winter sun and fun is just a hop, skip and a flight away.

Hands up who enjoyed our 5 days of summer this year? Why not treat yourself to some winter sun, or a Autumn city-break direct from our very own Liverpool John Lennon Airport? With more destinations on offer right across Europe, you’re a little more than a couple of hours away from a sandy beach, bustling cultural quarter and an ice-cold beer.

A week in the sun may be a bit of a stretch on the run up to Christmas, but that doesn’t mean you can’t go adventuring. With so many brilliant city break destinations on offer, from Amsterdam, Barcelona, Rome, Paris and more, a cheeky Friday night flight could have you in the city of love in less than 90 minutes and home in time for your Sunday roast. We’ve handpicked some of our favourite destinations to check out this Autumn.
