It's here, it's finally happened, the sun has come out, winter is a distant and dark memory, and it'll soon be time to jet off on holiday. But for many people the coming of summer can cause worry, after all it's a very expensive time of year, and holidays can cost a lot of money, right? Wrong, there are many ways that the average Brit can go on holiday and not have to worry about the cost of their trip. This doesn't mean put it all on a credit card and worry about paying later, it means that you can actually save money on your summer holiday by following a few simple rules that are available to every holidaymaker.
Choosing where you want to go is half the battle, and once you've decided just where you're going on holiday this year, it's time to do your homework, get on your computer and find out when the best time of year to go is. For many people, the best time of year could be during the summer months, which is when the most popular tourist destinations will be swamped with tourists, which will mean the price of accommodation, food, flights and transfers will be much more expensive than normal. One way to combat this is to travel during the 'off season' which is another name for the quiet season, when fewer people travel there, so the prices of flights accommodation and other necessities will be much cheaper. As a rule the best months for this are just before the summer in April and May and in October, which is when the weather will generally be a little cooler.
Knowing when to book is also another battle, as holidaymakers are often divided into two camps when it comes to booking holidays. There are those that will book their flights and accommodation months in advance so that they can save money, and then there are those that will book at the last possible minute to take advantage of last minute deals. Both of these do work in terms of saving money, and they both require a degree of organisation, while they are tried and tested methods of saving money, it really depends on the individual, their destination and what they feel comfortable with booking wise.
Finding cheap holidays, such as budget holidays to Turkey can be very easy to do if you know when to look, so always keep an eye out for potential deals.
