Flight times are estimated from the distance, so treat them as "about" — they assume a direct routing, which not every pair has. Fares are shown in GBP, converted at the European Central Bank's daily rate. A dash means we have not seen a fare on that route yet.

The climate is the destination's own and the same wherever you fly from. What changes with your city is the distance, the fare and the public holidays that crowd a place out, and those can move a month's verdict up or down a rung.

The climate is the destination's own; the label, the order, the crowd flag and the fare are as scored from EDI.
