EUROPEAN breaks top the list of Christmas getaways for Brits, according to flight booking website CheapOair.co.uk. Dublin tops the list of preferred Christmas get-aways with almost double the number of flight bookings than Amsterdam, second in the list.

Tenerife, Barcelona, and Alicante in the list of top ten Xmas break destinations for Manchester and Edinburgh airports, while Berlin and Dusseldorf seem to be favoured by holidaymakers flying from Birmingham Airport.
