How To Save Money When Booking A Holiday

Unfortunately, your plans for a holiday this year may have been cancelled, but that doesn’t mean you should begin looking for another one in the future. Yes, the Coronavirus is getting in the way of our exciting plans for 2020, but that doesn’t mean you cannot be excited for a holiday later in the year or even in 2021. Although the prices are going up, there are still plenty of ways to save money.

Book In Advance

With the issues of not knowing when lockdown will end or when life will be back to normal, we recommend that you don’t book a holiday for any time soon as you might not be able to go. So, saving money whilst booking in advance really is in your favour at the moment. Usually, you can book flights up to 11 months in advance.

Look Out Of Deals

There are always deals floating around the internet helping you find the best holiday prices. You can even subscribe to certain websites and companies that will send you the best monthly deals directly into your inbox. Nevermind where you are going, there will always be some sort of deal you can find. Although, please bear in mind that the deals tend to sell out very fast, especially if it will make a huge difference to the price of the holiday.

Pick The Cheaper Months

Everyone knows that school holidays and summer months are definitely the most expensive times to go on holiday. All of the prices raise including the flights and accommodation. So, unless it is essential that you go during those times, working your holiday around these periods will save you a lot of money. We recommend searching for the cheapest months to visit your desired destination to ensure you are getting the best deal.

Don’t Fly Direct

You will see a pattern of direct flights being more expensive than indirect flights. For example, when searching you might see a route that stops halfway between your start and end destination. These tend to be cheaper because the direct routes are in higher demand. Meaning that airlines charge more for them.

Packages

Package holidays are a great way to save money. Although, you need to be careful as sometimes they can work out more expensive than it would be separately. So, before you book a package you should always look at other options as well.
