New York, Phuket and Nashville are just a few of the most popular destinations for 2025, as identified by British Airways Holidays.

As its “End of Summer Sale” launches, British Airways Holidays has identified the most sought-after destinations for 2025 holidays so far and delves into the movers and shakers over the last 12 months.

The never-ending allure of the Big Apple means New York has retained the top spot once again for 2025.

Meanwhile, Phuket and Bangkok appear to be riding the wave of excitement surrounding the upcoming third season of Emmy-winning TV comedy-drama The White Lotus, securing them as potential holiday hotspots for next year. They rank 16th and 20th respectively

There are also some new additions that have captured the imagination of UK travellers

Nashville is a new entry at number 22, perhaps fuelled by the resurgence of country music, while Corfu follows at 23 after a flurry of new hotel openings. Australia sneaks in at number 25 to round off the list.

Los Angeles has an unparalleled line up of world-class sporting events on the horizon, potentially driving the destination’s recent rise through the ranks, and Grenada seems to have captured the attention of viewers of a recent popular TV show, as it jumps up a staggering five places.

The top five destinations are listed below, and the full list can be seen here.

  1. New York: Retains the top spot once again
  2. Orlando: Also a non-mover
  3. Las Vegas: Climbs one spot to take the bronze position
  4. Maldives: Drops down one place to just miss out on a podium finish
  5. Barbados: Another destination which has climbed the list by one place

The British Airways and British Airways Holidays “End of Summer Sale” is now live and includes a wide selection of flights and holiday packages to some of the world’s most desirable destinations.

Customers have until October 1, 2024 to take advantage of the deals, securing their next getaway for either 2024 or 2025.

Claire Bentley, managing director of British Airways Holidays, says: “The desire for holidays is still on the up, be that winter sun and festive mini breaks for 2024, or far-flung holiday hotspots for 2025.

“We are thrilled to see such an incredible selection of destinations on our top 25 for 25 list, and excited that we are able to launch a variety of offers to these destinations and more in our ‘End of Summer Sale’. Our Executive Club Members can make their trip twice as rewarding by earning double Tier Points on flights taken as part of their holiday package.”
