Travel providers expect to see a huge surge in holiday bookings when new rules come into effect this week,with prices also predicted to rocket. With fears over price rises linked to rising costs for airlines, more people are searching for a holiday bargain.
There are some hacks that can be used to limit costs but it means travellers have to be flexible with their arrangements. Some suggest that Sunday is the best day of the week for booking, while others would argue that it depends on whether you’re flying domestically or internationally.
It’s not only the day of the week that can affect the price. January tends to be the best month to book a trip, with an average flight price of £47 cheaper than those booked in July. But, of course, prices and trends vary by destination and length of flight, and other factors including seasonality and weather.
