Athens for £55 and Bordeaux at £50: four new fares from Bristol
Four short hops from Bristol are priced well below their March norms. The savings are significant, though the weather averages suggest packing a layer for the cooler mornings.
Athens in March: a week for under £60
A direct week in Athens for £55 is a substantial cut from the usual March range. The fare is the main saving here, as the euro is currently strong value against the pound.
The average high is 15°C, which is mild enough for sightseeing but cool enough to warrant a jacket. There is some rain in the month, so pack accordingly. The city is at its most manageable before the summer crowds arrive.
Why it’s the pick: The lowest fare of the four, a direct flight, and a city that is at its best in the mild March weather.
Bordeaux: a long weekend for £50
A direct weekend in Bordeaux for £50 is well under the usual March rate. The trip is short, but the fare is low enough to make it a sensible option for a quick escape.
The average high is 15°C, but nights drop to around 4°C. It is a wet month, so expect some rain. The euro is a good deal right now, so the cost of food and drink should be reasonable.
Malta in March: a week for £65
A direct week in Malta for £65 is a fair price for the season. The fare is lower than the usual March range, making it a decent option for a short break.
The average high is 17°C, which is pleasant for walking around the old town. There is some rain, so it is not beach weather, but the city is lively and the food is good. The euro is strong value, so the money goes further than at home.
Toulouse in March: a week for £70
A direct week in Toulouse for £70 is a reasonable price for the time of year. The fare is below the usual March range, which makes it a solid choice for a city break.
The average high is 13°C, so it is cool. There is some rain, so pack a waterproof. The euro is a good deal, so the cost of living is lower than in the UK. The city is compact and easy to explore on foot.
