How to find cheap holiday deals

Finding cheap holidays isn’t just about waiting for last-minute deals—it’s about knowing when and where to look. Midweek departures usually cost less, and avoiding school holidays can cut hundreds off the price. Booking 6 to 10 weeks in advance often gives you the best value, though some of the cheapest deals appear when tour operators need to fill unsold rooms close to departure. All-inclusive packages can also work out cheaper than booking separately, especially for beach holidays. Keep an eye on smaller tour operators too—they often undercut the big names with quieter destinations or limited-time offers on cheap holiday deals.

Air Transat

Which airlines are the cheapest?

Jet2holidays – Often cheaper than rivals for beach destinations, especially if you’re flying from the north of England or Scotland. Includes 22kg hold luggage and transfers in the price, which helps keep cheap holiday deals genuinely low-cost.

Loveholidays – Good for comparing a wide range of hotels with real-time pricing. Often features last-minute cheap holiday deals and lets you filter by budget easily.

On the Beach – Lets you build your own package by combining flights and hotels. Handy for finding cheap holiday deals that mix airlines or hotels other sites don’t include.

Barcelona Money-Saving Guide for UK Visitors

Finding affordable holidays requires a combination of planning, flexibility, and smart choices. Start by booking your trip well in advance, ideally 2-3 months before your desired departure, as prices tend to rise as the holiday period approaches. Use holiday comparison websites like Skyscanner, Kayak, or Momondo to track and compare the costs of various destinations, accommodations, and activities.

Flexibility with your travel dates can make a significant difference—consider traveling during shoulder seasons (just before or after peak holiday periods) when destinations are less crowded, and prices are lower. Setting up price alerts for your preferred destinations allows you to monitor fluctuations and grab a deal when the price drops.

Another way to save money is by exploring holiday packages that include flights, accommodations, and activities. These bundled options can often be more affordable than booking everything separately. Additionally, consider alternative destinations that offer similar experiences but at a lower cost—sometimes less popular spots provide a more relaxing and budget-friendly getaway.

Lastly, keep an eye out for special promotions or last-minute deals from travel agencies, resorts, or tour operators, as they may offer discounts during certain times of the year.
