For me keeping dates flexible and planning and booking more than 6 months in advance always works the best..

The best ideas are to look at somewhere different to previous holidays and do just a little research.

Travel everywhere by bicycle. This way you see a lot more of the environment, meet more locals & use zero emissions. Perfect.

Pack less and fill every corner, shoe, etc. in even the smallest hand luggage allowance so you don't have to pay for cabin or checked baggage. Remember to fill your jacket pockets!

Use Google maps on the area of interest and click on things to do. Have found several nature places to visit this way with some not costing anything to enter. Have found many places this summer to visit with little to no cost, may be of use to those who are budget conscious.

Be flexible with your holiday plans

Flexibility is your secret money-saving tactic when booking a holiday. It's a supply and demand thing, so if you can travel at unpopular times, such as midweek or early morning on a bank holiday, this can make a huge difference to the cost.

Ensure you have enough data to use on your travels. Purchase bolt ons before you leave if necessary. 😀

My best hack is to make sure you’re on the best network ever! SMARTY!!
Simple to set up the roaming, a strong network home and abroad! Just take your socials with you! So easy, just head to the pool side for a relaxing break. Can’t go wrong ☀️= Smarty

Do your homework and make sure there is enough to keep your kids entertained. 

Entertained kids can make or break a holiday and if it keeps them off their screens, it is a bonus. 👍
