LONDON--(Marketwire -06/14/12)- Cheapflights.co.uk, the online leader in deals publishing, reveals that summer travel searches are up 34% year on year for April 2012.

Nadine Hallak, Travel Expert at Cheapflights.co.uk, comments: "Holidaymakers are sticking to their old habits and choosing to travel during the traditional summer period."

"Our April findings build on previous years' search patterns, which showed a slant towards booking early, especially for families with children who often need to plan their holidays up to three months in advance," says Hallak.

"Strong search results show that holidaymakers are not deterred by the challenging economic environment and well publicised issues currently affecting the travel industry such as APD. People not only want to get away, but see travel during the summer as essential," concludes Hallak.

Given the popularity of sun, sand and surf for summer travel, Cheapflights.co.uk has compiled a list of four destinations to visit:
