British Airways Holidays has revealed the top 25 most searched-for destinations for 2025, highlighting the trending travel hotspots and exciting new entries.
To coincide with this announcement, British Airways and British Airways Holidays have launched their ‘End of Summer Sale,’ offering deals on flights and holiday packages to these coveted destinations and beyond.
New York continues to captivate travellers, holding the number one spot for the most sought-after destination for 2025. Orlando follows closely behind, maintaining its strong appeal. Las Vegas has climbed to third place, driven by its ever-popular entertainment offerings, while the Maldives slips to fourth, just missing a podium finish. Barbados rounds out the top five, moving up one position.
New to the list, Nashville enters at number 22, likely boosted by the resurgence of country music. Corfu, which ranks 23rd, has piqued interest due to a series of new hotel openings. Australia makes a notable entrance at 25, signalling its growing allure for UK travellers. Meanwhile, destinations like Phuket and Bangkok have gained popularity, likely spurred by the buzz surrounding an upcoming season of an Emmy-winning TV show.
