Well, I'm native but hadn't had the opportunity to speak it in a while, so I
might be a little rusty--
Vereinigtes Ko"nigreich is fine.
The Ferienflu"ge are a bit touchy. Used alone, I'd go plural for the Flu"ge
and singular for the Reise, but since you're using them together and
probably should maintain a parallel construction, my sense is to use plural
in both cases, 'auf Ferienflu"gen oder Gescha"ftsreisen.'
Gruesse,
Jurgen
