If you're in the need of a getaway from this seemingly never-ending British Winter – and struggling for inspiration – maybe travel site Escape Flight is the solution. Plug in your location, select whether you're looking for a hassle-free, weather-based or price-sensitive vacation, then choose from a drop down list of your interests (from food, nightlife, romance or outdoors).
The site uses an algorithm to build a picture of what you're looking for in a getaway, and offers a selection of visually-led potential destinations – accompanied by flight details, costs, weather reports, airport information and even suggestions for things to do while you're there based on your interests.
All suggested destinations are from a hand-picked selection of the most interesting places in Europe, and the site only features flights leaving on a Friday after work and returning on Sunday to make the planning as simple as possible.
With so much information, and so many options, planning a trip away can become rather overwhelming, so it's refreshing to see a site attempting to simplify and rein in our choices, and offer up a little serendipity.
