Spain is one of many countries enjoying ever-increasing accessibility thanks to cheap flights, but family travel is claimed to have been given the biggest boost.

Holiday break organiser Takethefamily.com said that the expansion of cheap flights has made European travel much more family-friendly, with parents no longer needing to pack the kids into the car in order to save money.

Not only have prices improved the family outlook, but the expansion of flight schedules from regional airports has also made it easier to get from home to the flight, without needing to drag children through London or elsewhere.

A spokesperson for Takethefamily.com said that cheap flights had "opened up many of the local airports, which is far more attractive to families.

"Shorter transfer times, both at home and at your destination, are most certainly preferred where young children are concerned."

Destinations like Spain are made easily accessible by frequent and reasonably-priced flights from multiple UK locations, making things simpler for families either taking an Iberian holiday or investing in a new home in the country.

Monarch airlines flies to an array of Spanish destinations from UK airports in Aberdeen, Birmingham, Manchester and London, while Jet 2 takes off for the Iberian peninsula from Edinburgh, Leeds-Bradford, Blackpool and Belfast, making Spain easier than ever for UK travellers and investors.
