I would add Zagreb where we went last December – good fun. And Helsinki (on Finnair). Shame BA just dropped the Ljubljana route in December as some Cabin Crew last year told me its Christmas market was amazing….
Thanks for your suggestions. Wouldn’t have thought of Zagreb.
This is the big problem. All London to xxx. No regional connectivity
