Uncover our handy hints to lock in your next getaway for less.
There’s no better feeling than stepping on a plane, ready for a few days in the sunshine, right? Well, actually, there is… Getting away safe in the knowledge you’ve scored a great deal trumps it by miles. Bagging a free kid’s place and taking off either side of summer are just a couple of ways to grab a great deal, but they’re not the only ways to save. Read on to check out our top holiday hacks and save big on your next break.

Remember when holidays were always either seven or 14 nights? Now, it’s so much easier to get away for however long – or short – you like. Thanks to our flexible flight times and trip durations – from as few as two to as much as 28 nights – finding your perfect pick is easy, wherever you choose to fly from. Plus, you might find that going away for odd durations, like nine or 15 nights, actually costs less than the usual week or two. Imagine how smug you’ll feel sitting poolside on those extra two days with your second cocktail of the day.
We’ve got thousands of free kids’ places, even in the school summer holidays. So, you can take your little one away without paying a penny for them. Yep, that’s their flights, transfers and hotel all for absolutely nothing. Want even better value? Go All Inclusive and you’ll get their food drinks and snacks thrown in, too. Places tend to get snapped up quickly, so book early to bag the best spots.
*T&Cs apply.
If the first thing you do when you arrive at your room is switch on the air-con – even before you’ve checked out the view – then this one’s for you. Get away in Europe in April, October or November and you’ll not only land to cooler temps, but also save some serious £££s. Flights to some destinations – like Rhodes, Crete and Majorca – start earlier and finish later in the year than most, and prices at these times are often much lower than in the peak of summer.
Get away with everything sorted on an All Inclusive holiday. With your food and drinks taken care of, you don’t have to worry about having to budget while you’re there. At most family-friendly hotels, kids’ clubs, activities and evening shows are usually part of the deal, too, so you can easily spend a couple of days – or more – without ever having to open your safe. What. A. Dream.
