Below we round up five holiday options which highlight how much further your 36,940 pennies can go – where your window view will be slightly more impressive than the industrial edgelands of Crewe or Milton Keynes, and where your dining option will be more than a bag of nuts and an instant coffee.

Return flights to Toronto

Cost per person: £368

If you’re considering a transatlantic city break in 2022, New York City might be your first port of call. But why not consider Canada’s largest city, Toronto, which you can reach in under eight hours from the UK?

Our expert, Doug Wallace, says: “Cosmopolitan and cultured, fun and fun-loving, with an icing of unpredictability just to make things interesting, Toronto takes pride in being the dynamic, creative and safe sum of all its parts. 

“The city’s roots show in myriad ways, with more than 200 cultures represented on the streets. (The fact that there are three Chinatowns and two Little Italys speaks volumes.) This is one of the reasons why the culinary scene is such a big deal – there are more ingredients in the pantry to pull from. With four world-class sports teams, a spirited arts scene and a vibrant waterfront with its own airport, Toronto makes both a rewarding end destination and a great pit stop.”

Air Transat is selling return flights from Manchester to Toronto for £368 per person, departing Tuesday October 4, 2022 and returning the following Tuesday on an overnight flight.
