For many Australians, the United Kingdom is the Motherland and taking flights to the UK is a definite on their bucket list. The land of the Royal Family, cups of tea, a (warm) pint, fish and chips and Coronation Street is a powerful magnet for millions of us every year.
England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are celebrated in story and song and there's a wealth of diversity for visitors to enjoy. Buzzing cities such as London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast give way to small village-green communities and cutting-edge modernity is counterbalanced by a rich history and a strict adherence to tradition.
Cheap flights to the UK are especially sought after during the Great British Summer when festivals and sporting events such as Wimbledon, Royal Ascot, Glorious Goodwood and the Henley Regatta are in full swing.
