Holiday - Can travel anytime

[1960darrenh]

Hi.

Can anyone point me to a website where by I can search for a holiday abroad but gives the option of searching for the cheapest holiday for the WHOLE year rather than have to choose dates? I am able to go at anytime and am totally flexible.

I’ve not seen any sites that will do this for you – best talk to a reliable travel agent, who will be in the know. I can recommend a company called Travel Counsellors (based in Bolton) who have often found me deals as good as any on the web.

Many airline websites offer a colour coded calendar, allowing you to see the cheaper dates of travel – but no good for a complete package. As a general rule, the cheapest holiday dates involve the two weeks before Christmas, returning before Christmas day.

Many years ago, I booked a package holiday to the Caribbean, using the last of my annual holiday entitlement. In discussing possible travel dates, I asked what the cost of the holiday would be if taken a few days later, to include Christmas day. I was advised that the price of the holiday would double, and it was unlikely that there would be any availability.
