Love holidays? Here’s how to get a great deal

When’s the cheapest time to book?

Sometimes you’ll find our lowest cost holidays are available a few days before travelling. So, if you can afford to hang on, you’ll find some great last minute deals on our site. And, if you want to be really flexible with your trip, remember that we also offer flight only options. Plus, big savings can also be made by booking early.

Look out for freebies and codes

Family holidays can get expensive – that’s why we give away thousands of free kids' places every year. Keep an eye out on our Twitter, Instagram and Facebook pages for codes to get even more off – from Black Friday deals to January sales. And remember, if you go All Inclusive, you won’t have to worry about paying for meals and drinks when you arrive.

Pack smart

To help make sure you don’t go over luggage restrictions on your holiday, we turned to Instagram for your best packing tips. @Katymunford recommends that you “wear your heaviest clothes onto the plane” and “pack light”. That’ll way, you’ll have plenty of space for souvenirs. And, as for packing your clothes? @Lilimaysmum suggests you “roll [them] instead of folding to avoid creases”. Plus, @Callum1787 finds it helpful to “stuff your small items, chargers, pants [and] socks into shoes”. When it comes to toiletries, @Tooheyblue suggests “buying travel sized bottles”, and @Absindie always packs her shampoo in “sandwich bags… to stop liquids spilling in your suitcase”.
