Last updated Feb 29, 2024

As 2024 is a leap year we've all got an extra day to play with. More time for holidays, right?

So what better time to dust off that travel wish list and leap into something totally new this year - whether it's visiting one of the wonders of the world, going for a hike in spectacular surroundings, spending Christmas on the beach, cocktail in hand, or winning flights to one of the planet's most iconic cities.

Granted, you'll need more than your one extra day to tick these experiences off, but the more time the merrier!
