By booking your August holiday now you can save potentially hundreds of pounds – plus, you get more time to get excited for your travels. 

The other way to save some cash is to travel out of season, such as September. But if you can’t make this schedule work for you, then try the last week of the school summer holidays, which are usually cheaper. 

Rory Boland, Editor of Which? Travel, said: “While inflation has started to ease over the last year, our latest research has shown holiday prices bucking the trend, with a combination of increased demand, alongside rising energy and fuel costs, contributing to higher prices for holidaymakers.

“Booking early is almost always your best chance of securing the best rate – so now is the best time to get the cheapest prices on summer holidays.

“Take the time to shop around, and if you’re holidaying with kids, consider travelling in the last week of summer holidays, as we’ve previously found this can be the cheapest week in the peak season.”
