British holidaymakers are reconsidering their summer travel plans due to the risk of flight disruption from the US-Israeli war with Iran, a new poll for The i Paper has revealed.
Travellers are increasingly nervous about going abroad due to the impact of the conflict, the survey by BMG Research shows – with the proportion of people saying they have already changed travel plans increasing from 12 per cent in March to 18 per cent in April.
In total, 29 per cent of the public said they had made or were considering making a change to their plans, with holiday companies operating in the UK reporting a surge in “staycation” bookings.
