Jet2holidays is one of the best-known UK package holiday brands, flying from regional UK airports to sunny spots like Spain, the Canary Islands, Greece, Turkey and Portugal. Because a package bundles flights, hotel, and often transfers and luggage, the real saving comes from how and when you book. Here’s what helps.

1. Compare the package against booking separately

Price the same hotel and dates as flight + hotel separately. Once you add checked bags, transfers and the ATOL financial protection that comes with a package, a package is often the better value, but not always. Taking two minutes to compare is the simplest saving there is.

2. Be flexible with dates and airports

Moving your trip by a few days, or flying from a different nearby airport, can change the price a lot. Mid-week departures and travel outside school holidays are usually cheaper. If you have children, the first and last weeks of the summer holidays are often priced differently from peak weeks.

3. Choose the right board basis

All-inclusive looks expensive up front, but for families who eat and drink at the hotel it can work out cheaper than half board plus meals out. For couples who like to explore local restaurants, self-catering or bed-and-breakfast may save more. Work out a rough daily food budget before deciding.

4. Look at low-deposit options carefully

Jet2holidays has offered low-deposit payment plans that spread the cost. They are useful for budgeting, but check the payment schedule, the final balance due date and the cancellation terms before you commit.

5. Watch for sales and price drops

Big holiday companies often run promotions around January (“peak booking season”) and seasonal sales. Sign up for the newsletter, and set a reminder to check prices again for your dates every few days.

6. Add extras only if you need them

Seat selection, extra legroom and upgraded rooms add up quickly. Decide what really matters to your group and skip the rest.

Quick FAQ

Is a package holiday protected?

Package holidays sold by UK operators are normally ATOL-protected; check the booking confirmation for the ATOL certificate.

When is the cheapest time to go?

Usually outside UK school holidays, with mid-week departures. Shoulder months such as May, June and late September often offer good value.

Always compare the final price at checkout, read the terms, and check the brand’s official website for the latest offers. For more travel-saving guides, browse the SaveBlogers homepage.
