People have been sharing amazing day trips they have made from Liverpool John Lennon Airport to locations all over the world. In recent months, 'extreme day trips', abbreviated to EDT, have become a popular trend.

This allows you to fit a holiday in on any day off from work and save money on accommodation.
One public Facebook group, called Extreme Day Trips Liverpool, was created on August 21, 2024 and now has over 28,000 members with people sharing their EDT's from Speke and asking others for tips on where to go.

Then we went straight on the metro to QC spa which was a one minute walk! We finished the day with some Aperol spritz and gorgeous food, this won’t be our last trip.” Speaking later about her EDT, Chloe added: 'For a whole day of eating snacks, meals and drinks - you could go out in Liverpool for the same price.
