Over 50s travel preferences

It’s well known that over 50s are a fan of travel. But did you know that they are extremely specific with where and when travel suits them best. Recently SAGA found that over 50s much preferred flying form regional airports than the larger airports such as Heathrow or Gatwick.

Cost didn’t play a big part in the decision as the study found that most over 50s were willing to pay the difference in order to fly from a regional airport. You might be asking why would over 50s want to fly from smaller airports when their are larger more luxurious airports around.

It was found that over 50s like the smaller airports as there are fewer people and it is all together far more stress free experience. Do you share this opinion? Accounting for more than 58% of the UK’s travel, I feel we should trust them on this one.
