Money-saving tips
Fly midweek
Tuesday and Wednesday departures in the school holidays are often noticeably cheaper than weekend flights.
Book early for summer, late for half term
Summer family rooms sell out early, while October and February half term can drop closer to the date.
Watch the per-child price
Some providers offer free or low child places. Always enter the right number of children when you scan.
