School’s out. Go find summer.

Time for some summer sun?Let’s face it, summer has been a bit of a washout so far!

But you don’t need to give up on summer sun just yet. And now the kids have broken up and the holidays are here, can you resist the lure of picking up a late family holiday deal in search of some skin-bronzing sun? An affordable break could be just a few clicks away…

Bagging yourself a last minute summer holiday doesn’t have to be difficult. There are a number of websites that make it easy, whether you want to book flights, hotels or the whole lot at once. And, as you’ll see, if you’re not too fussy about where you go, you could save yourself hundreds of pounds.

Flights

Let’s begin with flights. Flight aggregators have become big business over the last few years. They’re crying out to find you the cheapest way to jet off to your destination of choice.

Try these:

  • Skyscanner.net – Skyscanner claim to compare flight prices of more major airlines than anyone else
  • CheapFlights.co.uk – search for bargain flights from over 300 airlines and travel agents

Hotels

A great holiday is nothing without a great place to stay. You can find hotel deals across the world quickly without even leaving your home. Go explore!

Try these:

  • Trivago.co.uk – choose your destination, select your dates, let Trivago do the rest
  • LateRooms.com – you’ve seen them on tele, but did you know they can help you find a cheap European hotel too?

Flights and hotels

Of course, you can save yourself even more time by sorting the flights and hotels in one hit. And the best thing is that there are dozens of reputable online businesses (ATOL protected) that will help you find the cheapest deals, right across the world.

Try these:

  • Expedia.co.uk – one of the original holiday aggregators and without doubt still one of the best
  • Icelolly.com – if you can afford to be flexible on dates and departure point you could bag a brilliant deal here

Don’t mind where you go?

Not only is letting the market choose your destination a spectacular money saver (you could save hundreds of pounds), it’s also extremely exciting. It’s likely that you’ll get offered deals in places you’d never have normally thought of. Roll the dice!

Try this:

  • lastminute.com – here’s a link to the famed money-saver’s ‘last second’ summer holiday deals
