How to save on your summer holiday booking
Whether you're flying long-haul or staying closer to home, KAYAK's hacker tool will make sure you stay one step ahead
When it comes to travel, knowledge is power: the more tips, tricks and hacks you can learn, the smoother your ride. That's especially true when it comes to booking flights.
Thanks to travel search engine KAYAK.co.uk’s Summer Travel Hacker Guide, you can now stay one step ahead. If you're about to book a holiday, or just looking for inspiration, this neat box of tricks will serve you well – especially the Airfare Calculator, which could revolutionise the way you book your flights and show you the best time to book a holiday.
“KAYAK’s Airfare Calculator allows travellers to input where they want to go and see the cheapest month to go in order to save the most on their travels, without having to do dozens of different searches and compare them all,” says Neil Cartwright, travel expert at KAYAK.
“Even during the peak summer season, some times can be much better than others. If you have a bit of flexibility, checking it before you book is a no-brainer as it can save you hundreds.”
Insider information
The KAYAK Summer Travel Hacker Guide also includes a variety of other insider information. It displays the best time to travel to the UK’s favourite summer holiday destinations, it shows the top 10 best value destinations that holidaymakers may not know about, and for those who do not want to travel far, it lists the cheapest time to visit the top city and beach destinations in the UK.
For example, KAYAK has found that a holiday in Toronto, Hurghada in Egypt or Tivat in Montenegro won't break the bank this summer. Prices don't rise by much in these destinations over the school holidays. The opposite is true of both Faro and Malaga, where prices rise by an average of almost 80 per cent when the school holidays begin.
Plus, if you're in search of inspiration for where to go on your next trips, the Summer Travel Hacker Guide will run down the current top 10 trending destinations that have increased in popularity the most for this year – including places such as Zanzibar or Lima in Peru.
As one of the most trusted names in the travel business, KAYAK is a great place to book and manage your summer holidays and be sure you’ve made a confident choice.
