Escape Escape

A NEW innovation from 

Cheapflights.co.uk has given ‘Esc’ keyboard keys everywhere a new lease of life with the launch of its innovative EscEscape (pronounced ‘Escape Escape’) browser extension tool, putting a range of short getaway options just two-taps away from users. 

Launching in the UK, US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, and South Africa, ‘EscEscape’ is a free-to- install extension for Google Chrome users. When a user taps their keyboard ‘Esc’ key twice, a live flight search runs to find the cheapest, quickest and smartest return flights to nearby #destinations. 

Results are pulled from Cheapflights’ own search engine API and the users’ nearest airport is detected as their departure airport. The flight results open in a new browser tab and will be the cheapest option for a weekend break in the next eight weeks. The user is then free to go ahead and book if they like the look of what they see – if not, another ‘double tap’ of the Esc key throws up a new option.

“We want people to rediscover their ‘Esc’ key, and make it their shortcut to escaping for real - double tap quick,” comments Andrew Shelton, Cheapflights’ Managing Director.

Initially, a choice of five destinations will be featured each day, selected at random from the top 200 searched-for #holiday hot spots on the Cheapflights website and app, per market. For the UK, US, Canada and South Africa, only flights within a five-hour flight time are selected.

Budapest best for low-cost romance

HUNGARIAN capital #Budapest is the cheapest destination for UK couples to have a #romanticget-away, say the “relationship” site eHarmony.co.uk and travel search engine Skyscanner, which analyzed the typical costs (including a meal, flowers, chocolates and hotel room, and average flights prices from UK airports) involved with a date across 20 European cities. The results reveal that Budapest offers the best value for lovers.

On average, a two-night Budapest break will set you back £390, with a three-star hotel room costing just £36 and a quality three course meal for two with a bottle of house white coming to £31. Twelve red roses and a box of chocolates come to £38 and travel around the city for two totals £8. Finally, return flights for two add on £277.

According to Skyscanner flight price data, it is cheaper to fly from a UK airport to Budapest and have a date there than it would be for people within the UK to travel to London for a romantic rendezvous (£547).

Following Budapest are Warsaw and Brussels.

The true value in holidaying as a couple can be found beyond your wallet though, with a quarter (24%) of respondents saying a trip away helped them realize whether their partner was right for them. This will certainly be familiar to the five percent of people who admitted they have broken up with a partner as a direct result of a holiday together!

Go Holiday editor David Kernek comments: Brussels for a romantic get-away? Is it April 1?
