With the release of the Sex and the City 2 movie on 27th May 2010, fans will be looking forward to their next intoxicating fix of love, laughter, liaisons and high fashion from New York’s most famous ladies. Cheap airfare comparison site Skyscanner (www.Skyscanner.com) reveals the ultimate SATC tour for diehard devotees.

New York
Take advantage of the many New York flight deals on offer and head to the home of the SATC girls and their many adventures. Several companies offer tours of the Sex and the City hotspots allowing you to follow the girls’ stiletto footsteps to their favorite boutiques and bars, not to mention Buddakan, in the trendy Meatpacking district, site of Carrie and Mr. Big’s wedding rehearsal dinner.

Abu Dhabi
Perched on the Persian Gulf, this lesser-known Emirate will likely see a boost in visitors following its ‘appearance’ in the new SATC film, as our New York ladies jet off for some bazaar shopping, camel trekking and dune walking. Here’s a world-class luxury destination – perfect for those who yearn to be pampered amid romantic surroundings.

Morocco
The Abu Dhabi you see on film is actually Morocco. Always a favorite among discerning travelers, now fans can relive scenes from the SATC2 movie with a shopping spree in the noisy, colorful marketplaces of Marrakech, a starlit night in a Bedouin tent and a camel ride over the Saharan dunes.

Malibu, California
It was Mexico where SJP spent her heartbroken ‘honeymoon’ after being jilted at the altar by Mr. Big. Actual location, in the first movie, was California’s Malibu: an ideal spot for fans to live the good life while luxuriating in 27 miles of golden beach, glamorous movie star homes, exclusive boutiques, chic eateries and swinging nightspots.

Paris
A big player in the final season of the SATC TV series, Paris is a must-see for fans. Amongst the landmarks, now familiar to followers of the SATC girls, are the plush Hotel Plaza Athénée and Le Kong, a super stylish restaurant where Carrie lunched with her boyfriend’s ex-wife. And, like Carrie, fans are sure to fall for the Dior store where she took a tumble before embarking on a wild spending spree.

Scot Carlson, Skyscanner’s US and Canadian Country Manager comments: “The first SATC
movie had a huge impact on NYC tourism, with the infamous “SATC Hotspots” tour seeing bookings double in the first-week following its release. The New York Tourist Board also claims that SATC has been “one of the all-time, great commercials for the city”. I have no doubt that the STAC effect on tourism will be just as apparent following the second-film’s release.”
