• Brits search for top holiday deals
this winter
• Thomas
Cook offer range of savvy holiday deals the Three Wise Men
would have been proud of
Following the frantic holiday season forget the knowledge of the
Three Wise Men because shoppers across the country are becoming
savvier at finding the best holiday deals. You might be
short on gold, frankincense and myrrh but right now there are
excellent holiday bargains waiting to be found.
Leading travel provider Thomas
Cook has put together a list of top money saving tips when
it comes to shopping for your next break - so what wisdom do you
need to take on board?
Shop last minute or well in
advance
There are two tactics to use when trying to secure the best
holiday deal. The first is to shop well in advance, which means
making a booking at least 3 months before you travel.
The second is to snap up last minute deals a matter of weeks or
days before you plan to travel. The biggest perk of booking in
advance is greater variety in your travel options, but be prepared
to be beaten on price by last minute deals. Shoppers can secure
extremely cheap deals with last minute packages but you do
sacrifice choice and flexibility.
Travel out of season
In the lead up to winter there is a huge push on final summer
sun holidays. By travelling out of peak season, you're likely to
find outstanding savings on a holiday in Malta,
Greece, Spain and Portugal.
In the cooler months, popular Tunisia holiday spots like
Dar el Said and Souani el Adari are still warm enough to escape the
chill in Britain. As well as
finding the best deals, travelling away from the peak season also
helps to escape the crowds.
Look for all-inclusive packages
When holiday shopping on a strict budget, all inclusive packages
are an excellent choice. Package holidays incorporate all of the
expenses in one single payment, meaning flights, accommodation,
meals and entertainment are all covered.
Package holidays allow parents to accurately budget for the
break and not let added expenses leave a hole in their savings.
Popular package deals include holidays to Egypt, Kos and
Cyprus - so take your pick.
