5 tips for finding the best holiday deals

Now that the summer holidays are over, you probably want to hold onto that holiday feeling for as long as possible. After all, you don't want to get post-holiday blues. It's best to get inspiration for next year's summer vacation or winter vacation. Below are tips for finding the best holiday deals.

1. Book early – as with most things in life, first come, first served. Think of booking your vacation the way you would of buying your clothes on sale – you have to get there first before the best deals are gone.

2. Don't wait until the last minute if you have children – As above, it is even more important that you book early if you have children and can only go on holiday during the summer holidays. Being limited on dates means you'd end up paying more than you'd like if there are only certain options for you.

3. Filter the search box – filter the results instead of just searching by date or destination to make sure you see the best possible deals.

4. Be flexible – if you are not limited by school holiday dates, please be as flexible as you can be. Be open to traveling from a different airport than you're used to, or try a new destination you've never been to.

5. Sign up for newsletters – By signing up to receive newsletters, you can stay up to date on great deals for the vacation of your dreams. You'll get the best and most up-to-date prices straight to your inbox, so you can act quickly and get yourself the perfect holiday.
