Today on The Wright Stuff was a Credit Crunch Getaway special with Jane Knight from The Times, a woman with over ten years’ experience in the industry. If you’re looking to go on holiday in today’s uncertain financial times you need to make sure you’re getting a cheap deal – read on for more information:
1) Timing
Timing is key when looking for a cheap break at the moment. Jane Knight said that if you can go in the first two weeks of December or the first two weeks of January you are much more likely to get a good deal. If you travel on Christmas Day, then airfares drop by about half. Good news for people who don’t celebrate Christmas, but if you do and you take an early flight to somewhere like Lisbon, you can still get there in time for Christmas lunch. New Years Day is also a day for cheap flights.
2) Hot and cheap this winter
Jane recommended the Canary Islands for somewhere hot and cheap this winter. CheapHolidays.com have a deal on at the moment allowing you to stay in Lanzarote for just £7 per person per night.

3) Cheap honeymoon on a budget
Liz from Leeds phoned The Wright Stuff looking for a cheap honeymoon and wondering about the cheapest time to travel, plus somewhere good for an eleven month old boy. Jane suggested finding somewhere with a good holiday club. Sharm-El-Sheik was mentioned as a good budget destination with a reasonable flight time. It is cheaper than somewhere like Mauritius, where the childcare is wonderful but you have to pay for the privilege. Booking lastminute should also help you get a cheap deal, Jane mentioned the website Lastminute.com as a good place to look for cheap late holiday deals.
