Busy weekend in store at Stansted Airport

Stansted Airport has revealed that it is preparing for a busy weekend, with thousands of passengers set to jet off on Valentine's Day breaks between February 12th and 14th.

The London base revealed that it is expecting flights to Rome, Venice and Verona in Italy to be particularly popular among couples embarking on romantic getaways.

Ski breaks are also an option, with easyJet offering services to Geneva and Lyon from Stansted.

Those who are more interested in winter sun are expected to make use of Cyprus Airways' flights to Larnaca and Paphos, while easyJet offers connections to Faro and Fuerteventura from Stansted.

Mark Souter, head of airline relations at the airport, said: "For the undecided romantics out there, with over 140 destinations across 32 countries to choose from, it's just a matter of deciding where to take your valentine from Stansted this weekend.

"Ten new destinations have already been announced for our route network this summer, so you could always surprise your valentine with a treat later in the year."
