With 2018 fast coming to an end, and the festive season almost over, many people are now looking to the summer and planning their summer get away. If you want to grab a bargain then January can be a good time to book a holiday as many travel agents have January sales on. Booking early also allows you to spread the cost out as many will allow you to split the payments in to smaller amounts to make it more affordable.
If booking early you should ensure that your holiday is ATOL protected meaning that if the company goes bust you will be entitled to a full refund. You should also get your holiday insurance in place as soon as possible to ensure you are covered should something happen which means you can no longer go on your holiday.
It can be hard to book a holiday in advance not knowing what the weather is going to be like, but if you are going to countries such as in the Canaries or the Caribbean, then they tend to have quite similar weather trends year on year. If you are considering taking your children out of school to go on holiday then you need to be aware of the fines that can be placed on you from the school and also check if the dates co inside with any exams or important events that they should not miss.
