1. Be flexible with your dates

Moving your departure by a day or two, or choosing a different trip length (7 vs 10 nights), can change the price a lot. Use the flexible dates option when searching.

2. Try more than one departure airport

If you live between two or three airports, search each one. Smaller regional airports are sometimes cheaper, and sometimes more expensive. Compare them.

3. Travel outside school holidays

Prices usually go up during school holidays and bank holidays. If you can, travel in May, June, September or early October for better value and quieter resorts.

4. Pick the right board basis

All inclusive can save money for families or people who eat and drink at the hotel. If you plan to eat out a lot, half board or bed and breakfast may be cheaper overall.

5. Use the “anywhere” search

If you don’t have a fixed destination, search for “anywhere” with your budget and dates. You may find a cheaper destination with similar weather.

6. Book luggage and transfers at the same time

Adding hold luggage and transfers while booking is often cheaper than adding them later. Add up the full cost before you compare deals.

7. Use the deposit option carefully

A low deposit lets you secure a price early. Make sure you know the balance due date and that the total still fits your budget.

8. Check official offers only

Only use offers and codes shown on loveholidays.com or shared through official partner sites. Fake “coupon” sites often list codes that don’t work.
