Top of the agenda for many holidaymakers is price. And if you’re looking for a low cost holiday deal, there are more than a few ways to grab a cut-price bargain.

When you’re looking for a cheap holiday, one of the best places to start is by searching for a late deal. It has long been a popular way to find a great value holiday and it still is, with many thousands of holidaymakers snapping up superb discounts throughout the summer season. So where do you start? The best tactic is to start searching for holidays departing within the next few weeks, usually within six weeks or so.

Often, when searching for a cheap holiday as part of a last minute getaway, the best prices are on those breaks departing within just a couple of weeks. To get these low cost getaways, you’ll need to be flexible because availability is strictly limited, so be prepared to alter your search criteria in order to track down the cheapest deals. Try amending your departure dates, your choice of local resort and your style of accommodation.

Of course if your search for a cheap holiday hasn’t turned up the right results, you could try searching for an early bird deal. Of course it does mean you have to wait a little bit longer to jet off to the sun, but it means you’ve got plenty of extra time to save some spending money, pay off the cost of your booking, and plan all those things you want to do on arrival. What’s more, many tour operators advertise next year’s holidays with tempting discounts too – which helps to make things that little bit easier.
