Bored with the cold weather and looking for a bit of a change? Maybe you’re craving a week somewhere hot and sunny, and want to relax on the beach instead of having to wear three layers every time you go out, but just don’t seem to have enough money – especially after Christmas shopping! Well, keep reading, as your dreams may be about to come true. Even if you’ve not got a huge amount of cash to spare, this is the perfect time of year to jet off on a last minute getaway and spend as little as possible. Follow our advice, and you could be leaving within a week!
Cheapest Flights
Being savvy about getting the cheapest flights and hotel deals is key to booking a last minute holiday without spending a fortune. January 3rd, 2016, is set to be the best day to get some fantastic deals on flights and hotels, with both low cost and the more expensive airlines set to be cutting their prices on this day. If you own a smartphone, many airlines have apps which you can use directly to book flights, so it might be a good idea to download them – making sure that you don’t miss out even if you’re on the go or in work on the 3rd Jan. Flights to hot, exotic places such as Dubai or even Mexico are expected to be discounted, although there are many areas of Europe such as the Canary Islands which will enjoy high temperatures as well.
Booking Hotels
The 3rd is also set to be a great day for booking fantastic hotel deals as well. Again, applications for sites such as Booking.com and Trivago are available, meaning you can take advantage of the deals on offer from wherever you are by simply using your smartphone. Certain hotels will also allow you to book for free and pay when you arrive, meaning you’ve got a bit of extra time to get some money together if you don’t want to pay it all in one go.
Getting Holiday Ready
Thanks to the January sales, it’s the best time ever to bag yourself some fantastic holiday clothes and accessories without having to break the bank. Sites such as ASOS offer amazing January sale deals from even before Boxing Day, with many items up to 70% off. Pick up bikini sets, dresses, shorts, and t-shirts, getting your holiday wardrobe together in just a few clicks and at a fraction of the price. Red Hot Sunglasses will be offering some brilliant deals on designer eyewear, and you can pick up hold luggage and cabin luggage cases for cheap on sites such as eBay or Amazon. Delivery is usually around 3-5 working days – or you can choose the next day delivery option for an extra fee – and you’re set to go in less than a week!
