FAQS

What are the best holiday destinations for younger kids?

Is All Inclusive a better idea than self-catering with kids?

Going on an All Inclusive break with kids mean you don’t need to worry about meal planning on your holiday. Plus, lots of hotel buffets have enough variety to cater to picky eaters.

How can I find a destination with a short flight time?

Filter your holiday search for places like Spain and Portugal if you’re after a short flight time – you can usually get to these destinations in under three hours. Greece and Morocco are also good options if you’re willing to fly between three and four hours.  

What should I pack for my holiday with a young child? 

Weather-appropriate clothing, toys and snacks are all good things to bring away with you when holidaying with a young child. Toiletries-wise, you should pack things like sun protection and wipes, plus any medication your child might need while you’re away.
