Methodology

ComRes interviewed 2,107 British adults online between 13th December 2017 and 9th January 2018. The sample was boosted for British adults living within 20 miles of a London airport / Manchester Airport / Birmingham Airport / Bristol Airport. Data of 2,107 British adults was weighted to be representative of all GB adults by age, gender, region and social grade. Data of those living within 20 miles of the above airports was not weighted. ComRes is a member of the British Polling Council and abides by its rules.
