Summer is just around the corner, and that means one thing \u2013 holidays! Whether you\u2019re planning a family trip to Greece<\/a><\/strong>, a week in Spain<\/a><\/strong>, or even a trip to Thailand<\/strong><\/a>, it\u2019s a good idea to get the ball rolling asap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summer holidays are booking up fast, and the longer you leave it, the pricier things are likely to get \u2013 book now, and that\u2019s one less thing to worry about. Let\u2019s get planning!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: choosing the right type of holiday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Women<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

All Inclusive?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For families, going All Inclusive<\/strong><\/a> is often the most economical way to enjoy a holiday in the sun. With all your meals taken care of, you\u2019re free to enjoy the pool and beach without the hassle of planning breakfast, lunch and dinner. Plus, your kids will thank you for the never-ending ice-cream, burgers and pizza slices! Check out our latest family deals to Greece and Spain<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For couples too, an All Inclusive deal can take the planning out of\nsummer holidays, especially if you prefer to budget in advance. With no\nexpensive surprises, you can just lay back with a colourful cocktail, safe in\nthe knowledge that everything\u2019s taken care of. Top destinations for couples include\nCorfu<\/strong><\/a> and Zante<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re celebrating a special occasion, or just want to push the boat out after long time without a break, how about going Ultra All Inclusive? This luxurious package will cover you for premium meals and drinks 24 hours a day, with a host of fancy perks like spa days and boat trips. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top alternatives<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Self Catering is a neat idea for holiday goers who like to do things at\ntheir own pace. With no restrictions on when and what to eat, you get the\nfreedom to prepare your meals at your apartment, or dine at a different\nrestaurant every night. Variety is the spice of life, after all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A good compromise between Self Catering and All Inclusive is going Half Board. You\u2019ll get two meals a day at the hotel, so you can choose where to go at lunch or breakfast. As a bonus, most Half Board deals cost only slightly more than room only \u2013 a good way to save extra cash for day trips and nights out. Tenerife<\/strong><\/a> is an ever-popular destination for Half Board holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: checking travel requirements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Man<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Form filling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At the time of writing, travel restrictions have been lifted for all people coming into the UK from abroad. However, some countries may still have restrictions or you may be required to show evidence of being fully vaccinated, (either on your phone or a paper copy) or proof of recovery, so you\u2019ll need to check these well before you fly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: booking transfers and trips in advance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Women<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Play it smart<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to popular summer destinations, the smart\nmoney is on booking your day trips and hotel transfers before you travel. This\nwill ensure the attraction is not sold out by the time you get there, and add a\nbit of pre-holiday excitement to your planning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Majorca<\/strong><\/a>, the train to Soller is one top island experience that can get pretty busy in the summer months. While you don\u2019t have to book ahead of time, it\u2019s much easier to book online before you leave  \u2013 when you get there, simply head to the kiosk with your phone, and you\u2019re good to go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re off to Tenerife in the summer, how about riding to the top of the word\u2019s 3rd<\/sup> highest volcano on a cable car?  Avoid the long lines by booking in advance, and hop aboard for magical views of the island from 12,000ft!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skip the queues<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When a holiday to the Algarve<\/strong><\/a> is on\nthe cards, don\u2019t miss out on Slide & Splash, the area\u2019s best water park. Skip\nstraight to the front of a queue with a prebooked ticket and test your mettle on\nthe kamikaze and black hole rides!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t forget to add transfers from the airport when you book\nyour holiday. This will save you the headache of looking for public transport\nto your hotel, or taking an expensive taxi. Catching a local bus might be the cheapest\noption but it can take a long time, and there\u2019s always the chance you\u2019ll end up\nin the wrong part of town.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
