Fly to any destination in the UK with a private charter flight to the United Kingdom. The island of Great Britain is filled from end to end with rich history and culture, and breathtaking scenery. The UK is one of Europe’s top destinations for international travel. The influence of English culture is spread across the globe, and as a result, travelers from every corner of the world make a trip to the UK every year. With so many diverse regions in the country, there is no better destination for a private charter flight.
The United Kingdom ranks as the 10th most visited country according to the World Tourism rankings, receiving nearly 40 million visitors annually. London, however, consistently ranks as one of the top five most visited cities in the world among international travelers.
With London as the city’s top destination, travelers are drawn in by the city’s history and prestige, as well as its industry. London is one of Europe’s major hubs for financial and banking operations. Beyond London, the UK attracts visitors for its history, diversity of culture, and natural scenery.
The most popular time to travel to the UK is April through September when the weather is at its peak.
When visiting the UK, it is important to understand proper place names to avoid social embarrassment. The names “United Kingdom”, “England” and “Great Britain” are not interchangeable. The United Kingdom itself comprises four individual countries: England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. The island of Great Britain consists of England, Scotland and Wales. Northern Ireland is located in the northeast region of the island of Ireland across the Irish Sea.
In all, the UK has a population just north of 66 million, with England being the most populous region in the country.
Heathrow Airport (LHR) in London is the largest airport in the UK. The largest airports in the other nations of the UK are Edinburgh Airport in Scotland, Cardiff International Airport in Wales, and Belfast International Airport in Northern Ireland.
Most visitors to the UK are drawn in by its rich history. Buckingham Palace in London has served as the primary residence of the British royal family since 1703 and is one of the world’s top tourist destinations. Those with a greater interest in exploring the manors and mansions of England often enjoy touring the many stately homes found throughout the English countryside.
Of course, British history is filled with many more prominent figures beyond its royal families. William Shakespeare’s small hometown of Stratford-upon-Avon has become a necessary pilgrimage for many UK travelers. The same is true for the northern city of Liverpool, most famous for being the birthplace of The Beatles.
Urban legends also have a powerful hold over travelers to the UK. Except for King Arthur, no “legendary” figure in the British Isles is more famous than the Loch Ness Monster. The legend of Nessie continues to draw thousands of visitors to scenic Loch Ness in Scotland every year.
Of course, Great Britain has more to offer than just its history. Natural beauty can be found throughout the British Isles. Some of the finest regions to visit in the UK include the Lake District National Park, Snowdonia National Park in Wales, and the Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland.
