How we work this out
Worth the bother is worked out from the same facts every time: how much warmer, drier and sunnier it usually is there than in Ireland that month, how long the flight is, how good the place is, whether something’s on and, when we have enough fares for the route, whether the month is unusually dear or cheap. We use the usual weather for the month so one freak day can’t swing it. When you tell us what you’re after (snow, Christmas markets, walking and so on), the weather part asks how well the usual weather fits that, not just how warm it is. Nobody can pay to change a score, and plenty of places score low on purpose.

The honest airport tips
- Cork is small and easy to get around, but security gets busy on summer mornings. Allow 2 hours and there'll be time for a cup of tea.
- Book parking online before you go; it's cheaper than paying at the barrier.
- Fog is the one thing that can hold a Cork flight, so check the live departures before you leave the house if it's forecast.
