Depending on your preferences it’s always a good idea to compare things like price in relation to destination, board basis, departure airport etc. Just use our filtered search where you can also sort your results based on price or TripAdvisor score. And the more flexible you are, the more likely your chances of grabbing a cheap deal. If you’re not set on dates, you’ll often find that you can save by travelling mid-week or at the very last minute.
Whether you want to stay close to home with a trip to Europe or travel a little further, there are plenty of cheap holiday destinations to choose from. The Spanish Costas are perfect if you’re looking for a summer bargain, as are Turkey and Greece which have tons of affordable hotels between them. Those seeking something a little more exotic without the high price tag should head for Egypt or Tunisia. Long haul holidays are typically more expensive but you’ll often come across some incredible winter deals in the likes of the Dominican Republic and Mexico. And sometimes a two-week getaway is better value than one, so be sure to compare prices!
If you’re lucky enough to be able to book at the very last minute, sometimes it’s worth waiting until a few days before the departure date. With hotels and airlines desperate to fill rooms and seats, the prices can drop. However, this can also be a gamble if the holiday you had your heart set on is no longer available. So, be as flexible as you can, whether that’s being open to new destinations or comparing different board bases.
It’s no secret that prices go up when the kids are off school. But that doesn’t mean you can’t bag yourself a cheap holiday. As much as most people want to escape during the sizzling six-week break, there are some great deals to be had during the October half term with most Mediterranean resorts staying open until the end of the month.
Alternatively, the February and Easter holidays are perfect if you don’t mind travelling a little further afield with some fantastic sun-filled offers in the Canaries and Egypt. With more people wanting to travel during these times you may want to consider securing your trip in advance.
Fancy four and five-star properties have big discounts too, allowing you to indulge in the high life without the premium price tag. So if you’re looking for cheap luxury holidays it may be worth travelling out of season or opting for a wallet-friendly destination. For even bigger savings, book at the very last minute and you may just bag an exclusive offer on that hotel you’ve always dreamed of.
