Velloy founder Hugo Cannon said: "For many, there’s no better way to start a holiday than a pint at the airport or a glass of prosecco to get that going away feeling started.

"As a British holiday staple, we were keen to discover which airports are home to the cheapest and best pre-flight drinks, and thought, what better guide for travellers than an index revealing where they can find the most affordable and best-rated drinks?

“If you're trying to decide whether to start your holiday from either London's Gatwick or Heathrow, or either Manchester or Liverpool, we hope our index proves helpful for any keen travellers looking to start their trip with a celebratory beverage!”
