If you live in Yorkshire or Lincolnshire, you might automatically think that a big holiday means travelling across to Manchester or all the way down to London before your holiday has even begun.

But what if you could start your journey from Humberside Airport instead?

Welcome to Fly Local, Travel Global – Humberside Edition, from Hop On Board Travel.

By flying from Humberside and connecting through Amsterdam Schiphol, we can open up a huge range of destinations around the world.

🇺🇸 USA
New York • Orlando & Florida • Las Vegas • California • Nashville • Miami • Boston • and more

🇪🇺 Europe
City breaks • Mediterranean escapes • beach holidays • European touring holidays and more

🌏 Far East & Worldwide
Thailand • Japan • Singapore • Bali • Vietnam • Australia and beyond

🦁 African Safaris & Adventures
South Africa • Kenya • Tanzania and more — from unforgettable safari experiences to incredible multi-centre adventures combining wildlife, cities and beaches.

🚢 Cruises
Fly from Humberside and connect onwards to join cruises departing from ports across Europe and further afield — opening up Mediterranean, Caribbean and worldwide cruise possibilities.

And these are just the beginning.

For many local travellers, getting to a major airport can feel like a journey in itself.

Driving across the Pennines, travelling down to London, paying for airport hotels, parking or long-distance transfers all add extra time, cost and stress.

Flying locally won't necessarily be the cheapest option every single time — and I won't pretend it will be.

Instead, I'll compare the whole journey.

If I can get your Humberside holiday close to the price of travelling from a larger airport, the convenience of starting locally could make a huge difference.

Less driving. Less stress. More holiday.

Where possible, I'll build your flights, accommodation and other holiday elements together as a financially protected package, rather than leaving you to piece everything together yourself.

Your holiday could include:

• Flights from Humberside and your onward connections
• Accommodation
• Transfers
• Cruises
• Safari experiences
• Multi-centre stays
• Attractions and experiences
• Bespoke itineraries

You'll also have Hop On Board Travel to help you from the planning stage through to your trip.

Yes — although you won't be flying directly!

The idea is to fly from Humberside to Amsterdam Schiphol and connect onto your onward flight. Amsterdam is a major international hub with connections across the USA, Europe, Africa, Asia and the rest of the world.

Yes. Connecting through Amsterdam can open up European destinations as well as long-haul travel.

Depending on your dates and destination, I'll look at the available options and whether starting at Humberside makes sense for your trip.

Yes! 🦁

We can look at safari itineraries in destinations such as South Africa, Kenya and Tanzania, including options that combine a safari with a city stay or relaxing beach extension.

I'll look at the complete itinerary from Humberside, including suitable connecting flights, accommodation, transfers and safari arrangements.

Absolutely. 🚢

We can look at flights from Humberside connecting onwards to cruise departure points across Europe and further afield.

That could open up everything from Mediterranean cruises to Caribbean and worldwide itineraries, without automatically having to start your holiday with a journey to Manchester or London.

On an eligible through-ticketed itinerary, your checked luggage would normally be tagged through to your final destination, although there can be exceptions depending on the route, airline and destination.

I'll explain exactly how your particular journey works before you book.

This is why the way your flights are booked matters.

I'll look for protected connecting itineraries, rather than simply putting unrelated flights together because they happen to be cheaper.

If disruption affects a protected connection, the airline would normally be responsible for getting you to your destination in accordance with the applicable ticketing and passenger-rights rules.

It depends on the itinerary.

I won't automatically recommend the shortest connection available. I'll consider the route and overall journey and look for a sensible connection time, rather than leaving you racing through the airport.

Yes. If you or somebody travelling with you requires special assistance, tell me when you're enquiring and I can help make sure the appropriate assistance is requested with the airline.

Sometimes it will be. Sometimes the difference may be surprisingly small.

That's why it's worth comparing the whole journey — not just the headline flight price.

Consider the cost of fuel, parking, airport hotels or transfers to a larger airport, as well as the extra travelling time at the beginning and end of your holiday.

For some travellers, starting locally could be well worth the difference.

Absolutely. These itineraries can work for families, couples, solo travellers and groups.

For families in particular, being able to start and finish a long-haul holiday closer to home could make the journey much easier.

When you book an eligible package holiday through Hop On Board Travel, you'll receive the appropriate financial protection for the package booked. Your documentation will clearly explain the protection that applies to your individual holiday.
