Top 11 ways to save in the sales in 2024
Browsing sale offers on holidays can quickly become overwhelming as many big-name brands compete for your attention. To help you get the best deal and possibly save even more money, follow these top 11 tips:
1. Voucher codes & online deals
Although there are countless sales and cheap summer holiday deals for 2024, it's worth checking out the latest travel deals and discount codes also, which can, on occasion, save you even more.
2. Be ready
It might be worth checking out what offers are available over Black Friday week, as many early booking discounts will be worth looking at.
Although people think of the January sales, the real travel deals start pouring in from Boxing Day, if not before Christmas. If you know you want to bag a bargain, be ready to check for summer holiday deals for 2024 anytime from late December onwards - don't wait until 1 January 2024.
3. Book in advance
Booking well in advance is a sure-fire way to save on your next holiday. Use the extensive range of sale holidays for 2024 to sew up your summer break now, and you'll benefit from the cheap deals and special savings which are currently on offer.
4. Book online
Holiday companies want you to book online. Not only will you often find the best deals on holidays this way, but companies such as TUI and Jet2holidays tend to offer an incentive discount when you book online to help you save even more.
5. Low deposits
Look out for low deposit options in the sale. These enable you to pay a little up-front to secure your booking, and to settle the rest at a later date within an agreed period.
6. Kids go free
Most major holiday companies run some sort of promotion whereby kids, or the first child booked, can stay for free. Check the small print as age restrictions apply. However, if you're booking a summer 2024 family escape, this is an unmissable way to save a little extra.
Our family holiday destination finder will help you choose where and when to go based on your preferred type of weather and holiday. We've even given our top tips to make your job easier.
7. Consider your destination
It's always worth comparing destinations to see if you could save more money by booking somewhere that's perhaps a little quieter and where your Sterling will go that bit further.
Think about new destinations you would like to explore and think outside of the popular destination box.
Be inspired with our summer holiday destination finder. Enter the type of destination and preferred weather conditions you're after and we'll tell you which destinations to consider and when is best to go.
8. Book outside the school holidays
If you're kid-free, and therefore not restricted by school terms, consider booking your summer holiday either earlier or later in the season, such as in May or at the end of August or in September. You're much more likely to find cheaper deals and some great offers for this period.
9. Look out of season
Naturally, the peak holiday season in any destination means higher prices. If you know where you want to go and are flexible, consider visiting out of peak season.
For example, Barbados in April is delightful: although it's the low season, there's still plenty of sunshine and high temperatures.
Do your research, and check the sales to see if you could save on a break to your desired holiday destination.
10. Search for 'value added' holidays
Extras can soon mount up, so keep an eye out for online deals that include things such as checked luggage, free accommodation upgrades, transfers and activities such as water sports or kids' clubs.
11. Look for cancellation policies
Not quite an up-front saving tip but checking out the amendment and cancellation policy before you book is a good way to understand what your options are if circumstances change. There is now a wide variety of policies out there but make sure you read the fine print.
VRBO even has a free cancellation option on their holiday accommodation search*, so you can filter properties with this extra flexibility giving you some extra peace of mind.
Seasonal savings on holidays for summer 2024 give you the perfect opportunity to book a steal of a summer break with your family, friends or a loved one.
