As British Airways Holidays kicks off its ‘End of Summer Sale,’ the company has revealed the most popular destinations for 2025, highlighting the travel trends of the past year.

The enduring charm of New York has once again secured its position as the top choice for 2025 holidays. Meanwhile, Phuket and Bangkok are riding the wave of anticipation for the third season of a popular Emmy-winning TV comedy-drama, emerging as attractive holiday destinations for the upcoming year, ranking 16th and 20th, respectively.

New entries have also captured the interest of UK travelers. Nashville makes its debut at number 22, likely buoyed by the revival of country music, while Corfu follows closely at 23, spurred by a spate of new hotel openings. Australia rounds off the list, entering at number 25.

Los Angeles is experiencing a surge in popularity, thanks to its impressive lineup of upcoming world-class sporting events. Meanwhile, Grenada has jumped five spots, possibly influenced by its feature in a recent popular TV show.

The top five destinations for 2025 are as follows:

1. New York: Maintains its leading position.
2. Orlando: Holds steady in second place.
3. Las Vegas: Climbs one spot to take third.
4. Maldives: Slips one place to fourth.
5. Barbados: Moves up one spot to secure fifth.
