Cheaper holidays and parking need to be planned

Trawling through the internet looking for a budget vacation is time well spent but most people having once selected their location or area to stay are more than happy to spend many hours searching for accommodation. Prior to this is done and depending upon your timescale, just as much time should be spent in choosing locations where the temperature is to your liking but not in the main holiday season.

If you are travelling from a UK airport to Cyprus for example, fine sunny days last well into October and the cost of Gatwick airport parking and your flight is considerably less expensive than travelling in earlier in the year when the heat is unbearable. Car park owners, flight providers and suppliers of accommodation all look to maximise their business in peak times and will have built up over best dates and in the case of airlines even the time of day and the day of the week.

In the children's main summer holiday it might consider using a different airport and save on the price of East midlands airport parking for instance. The bank holidays and school holiday and weeks such as Easter, Christmas and New Year should be avoided at all costs. The hike in prices Christmas and New year is astronomical. Outside of peak season hotels in this country and abroad still have the same fixed costs to meet and this is when there are lots of deals to be had. If you require a stop over before you fly it is cheaper to book for example East Midlands hotel parking instead of purchase your car parking and hotel independently.

Whilst flight providers will withdraw a few and routes in the winter a core of staff will remain and will have fleet costs to meet and will tempt holidaymakers with cut price deals.
