Holidaymakers could save a massive £10.3million by avoiding travel during the peak three weeks of summer. Huge savings can be made by travelling towards the end of the school summer holidays instead of a getaway at the start of the long break.
New research from GoCompare travel insurance has revealed by booking flights during the second half of the six-week school break, rather than the first half, UK holidaymakers can make noticeable savings. In practical terms, travellers can expect to pay £97 less per person by strategically timing their getaway.
This year, those journeying to Spain – Britain’s most popular destination – can expect to save 20 per cent on flights when travelling in the last week of summer. For a family of four, this amounts to an incredible £188 off travel costs, according to data sourced from Skyscanner.
