BEFEFITS OF A UK HONEYMOON
Spend less time travelling and more time honeymooning! Long distance travel often eats away into the time you actually spend enjoying your break. Consider the amount of time you will spend travelling to the airport, in the airport, transfers, and then there’s the time you spend recovering from all the travel! It adds up to a lot of hours and often days, which means to make it worthwhile you need to go for a good amount of time.

By staying the UK you can save a lot of money that you would have spent on flights.
