Perfect Planning

If you know where and when you want to go on holiday, book as soon as possible! Perfect planning like this means you’ll have longer to pay off your remaining balance in smaller installments. Additionally, the further in advance you book, the better the deals you’ll find, and the bigger choice of luxury accommodation you’ll have. Organised holidaymakers can also look forward to cheaper flights, as well as budget-friendly transfers, which are important if you need to travel from the airport via shuttle, seaplane or speedboat. If you are visiting a far-flung destination, you can often find a lot of your budget will be spent on long-haul travel. However, opting for indirect flights can be gentler on your wallet. Save money by choosing a layover or multi-day stopover – Dubai and Abu Dhabi are perfect for this – on the way to a dream destination like Thailand or the Maldives.

Time Your Holiday Right

To experience an out-of-this-world getaway without breaking the bank, it’s important to time your holiday right. Many amazing resorts can be booked out of season for a fraction of the price, but you’ll still enjoy the same high-quality luxury. If you have the fluidity to go away at any time of year, travelling outside of peak travel periods, such as in the summer holidays, means you’re more likely to find some great deals. Shoulder seasons, like autumn and spring in the Mediterranean, are superb times of year as you’ll enjoy pleasant, warm weather with lower-cost flights and hotels. Booking a holiday during a destination’s low months is another sure way to save money. The wet season in places like the Caribbean and Mauritius, and the summertime in destinations like the UAE will definitely suit all your needs. Alternatively, visit the UAE during Ramadan for a cheaper, yet culturally-immersive getaway. Time your flights perfectly and travel midweek to save some extra pennies. We find that weekend flights cost more as there is a greater demand by holidaymakers but, if you’re flexible with dates, you may find this to be a helpful money-saving tip.

Go Big To Save Big

To save money and take your holiday experience to the next level, combining a variety of destinations together to create a multicentre itinerary is an excellent idea. Multicentre escapes offer superb value for money, allowing you to discover two or more places in a single trip, while cutting the cost of making separate long-haul flights. One great example of this is visiting Dubai, Thailand and then Malaysia – you’ll be engulfed by beauty, luxury, culture and excitement at every turn. Cruises are also an excellent option if you want to cut costs by combining multiple destinations into one unforgettable getaway. Opt for a cruise and stay holiday to take advantage of bundled discounts on flights, accommodation and a voyage across the waves. We’d recommend our Alaska cruise and Rocky Mountaineer package, as well as our Best of Japan cruise, where you can experience the unbelievable bullet train and wonders of Tokyo.

Have Your Cake And Eat It

We’re certain that selecting a luxury all-inclusive package will help you save money as you won’t come across any surprise costs at the end of your stay – once you’ve paid, you've paid for everything. All-inclusive often includes delectable dining options, soft drinks and alcoholic beverages, sweet treats like ice cream, poolside snacks, daytime and evening entertainment, water sports equipment and access to the fitness facilities. What more could you need to make your holiday extra special? If you did wish to spend a little more money, we’d recommend spa treatments, boat trips and guided tours to fully immerse yourself in your spectacular surroundings.

Be On The Lookout For Deals

Keep your eyes peeled in the build up to you booking a holiday as you’ll discover an array of amazing deals just waiting to be snapped up. We know the costs can rack up, especially if you’re travelling as a family during the school holidays, but you can make lifelong memories thanks to incredible incentives, like kids go free. These deals go hand-in-hand with booking in advance, so make sure you regularly check our latest offers because once they’re gone, they’re gone. Eagle-eyed travellers will also find a multitude of other epic incentives like free speedboat or seaplane transfers, board upgrades, free extra nights and free drinks. Some hotels that are located in entertainment districts, like those on Abu Dhabi's Yas Island, may also provide guests with free waterpark or theme park entry. Early-bird bookers will also be able to take advantage of Destination2’s sensational low deposits*.
