Air France has some really good deals at the moment
Not everyone is in love with Air France, but you’ve got to admit that they have some pretty good specials at the moment: Air France UK
I’ll even save you the trouble of clicking on the link and reveal that their best price for a return flight from London City is to Geneva and it’s £97 including all taxes and fees. You can go to Eindhoven or Zurich or Dublin for only a little more, which makes these some of the better deals I’m seeing on the Internet these days. This is a tough travel year for those of us who like to focus on cheap breaks, because nothing is terribly cheap at the moment and things might get worse before they get better.
Book with British Airways, get free hotel nights
In this era where airfare prices keep going up, the airlines would seem to be helpless to offer enticing deals, but British Airways has found a way by offering free hotel nights when you book a holiday through them: Special Offer hotels from British Airways Holidays
It’s nice that they are able to offer any kind of deals at all at a time like this. These free hotel nights are a pretty sweet deal, and it means you can probably stay in a 3 or 4-star hotel for about the same price as a 1 or 2-star place when you factor in the free nights. In many cases you get a 3rd or 4th night free, and in some cases you get 2 nights free if you book 6 nights, which is obviously like 33% off.
Great summer holidays are on sale
I’ve just come across a site called greatlatedeals.com, and I find many of their offerings to be very impressive: Discount holidays at GreatLateDeals.co.uk
They’ve got loads of cheap holiday deals to Spain, which is definitely a popular place this time of year, but there are also packages on sale to the USA, the Caribbean, the Middle East, and all over Europe. The more I investigate these package deals the more I like them. I’ve always been one to book each thing separately, but when I compare the cost of doing that to the cost of these deals I realize I might have been wasting money all this time.
Speaking of cheap city breaks, these last minute deals are worth a look
The fine people at lastminute.com have arranged for some pretty good deals on weekend breaks here: City breaks from £99
These deals are for travel coming up in the next week or two, so they can find flights and hotels that aren’t fully booked and offer big discounts on them. Their list begins with Paris, Rome, Prague, Berlin, and Amsterdam, but you can get great deals to nearly everywhere in the world through this thing. They have New York and Las Vegas on the list, and there are plenty of other USA cities as well.
Cheap breaks are just two clicks away
Normally I’d say only one click away, but in this case you’ve got to click on the thing below before you can see this very helpful link to Thomas Cook’s great break deals: Flight and Hotel breaks starting from £129 only at thomascook.com
I know exactly what you are thinking, that Thomas Cook isn’t normally the best place to look for cheap breaks, but once you see these offers it will change your mind. They have breaks to Dublin starting at £130 for 2 nights hotel and a flight from Manchester. For a bit more you can leave from London, but that’s completely up to you. If you want to go to Amsterdam it’s quite a bit cheaper flying from London than Manchester. I think Mr. Cook likes to keep things unpredictable, and it’s hard to blame him if he also comes up with prices so low.
Get over to the States before the dollar starts to rise!
This summer is the ideal time to take advantage of the weak dollar, and Air France is here to help with a tempting fare sale: Air France special offers
Okay, that thing just says Special Offers, but I can now reveal that one of their offers has flights at £354 from Heathrow to New York City, and from £388 all the way to Los Angeles! So you get cheap airfare on a good airline, and once you arrive everything is super cheap. You can rent cars in Los Angeles for under £100 per week, and petrol is still much less expensive over there too.
Art lovers should look at these great packages
We’ve spent a lot of time lately discussing deals that related to beach holidays, so here’s an offer for the culture vultures out there: Looking for Culture & Sightseeing? Browse thousands of cultural tours and experiences around the globe and book online with isango!
It’s nice that the fine people at Isango have put together some good trips for those of us who get bored watching waves come in and go out all day. They have really good deals to Thailand and other parts of …
Get off your arse for your upcoming holiday!
If you are the type who loves to fly somewhere and then sit on the beach all day and sit in the bar all night, it’s time you got a bit more active: Neilson Active Holidays
The fine people at Neilson Active Holidays are here to help, and with great prices as well. You can book a trip to the snow (still!) or the beach or something involving yachting, which sounds more active for the crew than for the passengers, but at least it feels like you are out doing something. The beach destinations they offer are Greece, Egypt, and Turkey, and once you get there they arrange water sports and other things to get you off that beach chair for at least part of the day.
Last minute holidays can be really cheap
With airfare prices getting higher by the day, it’s nice to know there are still some good deals to be had if you look in the right place: Latest deals on lastminute.com
People who book their trip really early can often get great deals, but those who wait until a month or two before they want to leave are getting the worst of it lately. The good news is that these last-minute packages are still coming up, and in many cases they are really good prices. I guess that some hotels priced themselves too high recently, so with all the extra rooms they have to slash prices to try to fill them up.
