How to book a free kid's place

Getting your hands on a free kid’s place is super straightforward. These spots are available on new bookings, with one free kid’s place for every two full‑paying adults sharing a selected hotel room, apartment or villa. And yes – you can still use a promo code on top, so it’s great value all round. So what’s the process?

  • When you’re browsing our holidays, just pop in how many adults and kids are travelling, plus the ages they’ll be when you come home. Our free kids’ places apply to older children as well as little ones, by the way.

  • Pick the month you fancy going away.

  • Browse through the hotels offering free kids’ places, and use the filters to narrow things down – like your airport, destination or board basis.

  • Then, take a look at all the free kids’ places deals and see what catches your eye.

Our family holidays tick all the boxes, from beachfront hotels and All Inclusive packages to waterpark access.

You’ll get a standard flight ticket included with each free kid’s place. And with everything taken care of, you can focus on simply enjoying taking to the skies with the whole family.

One child per two full-paying adults can stay for free in selected hotel rooms, apartments and villas. And, of course, they’ll have full use of all the facilities, from pools to entertainment.

Food and drink

Our free kids' places come with whichever standard board basis is included at your hotel, whether that’s self-catering or All Inclusive. Pssst… upgrades are available, too.

Transfers

Just like all our holidays, your free kid's place includes transfers from the airport to your accommodation, and back again when it’s time to head home.
