UK flight searches increase ahead of Royal Wedding

Australians are second only to Germans in their eagerness to head to the UK for the upcoming Royal Wedding, The Independent has reported.

According to the most recent figures from flight comparison site Skyscanner, Germany and Australia have now overtaken the United States and the Netherlands as the countries seeing the biggest search increases for flights to Britain.

Previously second in the same list last month, the US now stands at number three, while former top spot holder the Netherlands has now slipped out of the top ten entirely.

The wedding will see Prince William marry Kate Middleton on April 29th at Westminster Abbey, and tourism agency Visit London has already warned prospective tourists that hotels in the British capital are filling up fast.

Those planning a one off trip to the UK for the royal nuptials can cover themselves with One-trip travel insurance from InsureandGo.
