Summer Is Just Around The Corner; How To Find Yourself Cheap Holidays

Last weekend the UK reached temperatures of 19°C! As days start to get warmer and stay light for longer, we are reminded that summer is just around the corner! Are you craving to get away but on a bit of a tight budget? Whether you are looking for a family break, romantic getaway or a summer blow out with friends, this blog will give you handy tips on how to find yourself cheap holidays!

Peak Times

This will be easier for those of you who want to go away with a loved one or a group of friends, but always avoid peak times! Holiday companies will almost double their prices when it hits July, August and September, as this is when school holidays are. School holidays can differ from county to county, but if you look into when the majority of school children are off, this is when you should avoid going on holiday.

All Inclusive

A good tip in bagging yourself cheap holidays, is to go all inclusive or full board. Self-catering holidays will look cheaper than all inclusive and full board at first, but don’t be fooled! By going all inclusive/full board you are paying for everything up front including all your meals and drinks (depending on the package you go for), which will end up being cheaper in the long run. If you go self-catering, you will soon see your money go on meals out, snacks and drinks! Also, depending on the country, food and drink can end up costing you a small fortune. Also, going all inclusive or full board is great if you have fussy eaters with you, as most places will offer foods that are similar to the UK!

Travel Comparison Websites

A great way to bag cheap holidays is to use travel comparison websites! We can soon feel bombarded with deals coming at us left, right and centre from hundreds of different travel agents. Using a travel comparison website cuts out these stresses and makes it much easier for you to find a great deal. Depending on the site you use, you will be able to tailor your search, to make sure that it meets all your requirements. You then simply click ‘search’ and all holidays are in one handy place. All you have to do is pick the best deal for you and then call the travel agent.

If you compare holidays, rather than going for the first deal you come across, can ensure that you are getting the most out of you money and that you won’t miss out on an amazingly low priced deal! 

Book in Advance

Booking way in advance is a great way to find cheap holidays. You just have to make sure you are organised and know where you want to go and when. Not only will this save you substantial amounts of money but also help with your stress levels, especially if you are organising a family break.  Booking your summer holiday as soon as you can, means there is one less thing that you have to worry about. Get the summer holiday checked off the list and then focus on the other areas of family life which are important!

So there you have it! Compare holidays, book in advance, go all inclusive and avoid peak times and at you will soon have thousands of cheap holidays fingertips!
