Best time to book summer holidays
Summer holidays are the busiest of the year. Knowing when to book — and when to keep checking — helps you avoid overpaying.
Book early for school holidays
If you're tied to school holiday dates, popular hotels and flights fill up fast. Booking early gives you more choice.
Flexible? Watch for offers
If you can travel outside peak weeks, prices can drop closer to departure when companies want to fill rooms.
Use low deposits wisely
Low-deposit offers let you secure a holiday early, but check the full price and when the balance is due.
Keep scanning
Prices change often. Scan the same holiday a few times before you book to see if it's got cheaper elsewhere.
