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.
