Holidays Under £200pp

How To Get Away For Less Than £200pp

The key to finding great holidays for less than £200 is flexibility and be sure to ask friends and family for tips and tricks too.

You may want to go on a 5-star weekend break in Paris or a week's all-inclusive holiday in Tenerife in the school holidays, but if you can be flexible with dates and destinations you will be able to find similar trips for under £200.

The peak school holiday season can be notoriously expensive when it comes to booking a holiday. Airlines push up their prices, as do hotels, and availability decreases, and ultimately the cost of a family holiday rises. We hunt around for school holiday deals, however having the ability to travel during the off-peak days and periods can help save some serious cash. Try midweek departures out of the school holidays and you'll be sure to find a good deal or two.

Destination is also an important factor when trying to get your holiday under the £200 mark. Destinations such as Turkey and Tunisia have some incredible offers for a beach break in the sun. And with a range of hotels available from 2 to 5-star, and various board basis' on offer, a beach holiday doesn't have to break the bank.

Generally speaking, booking your flight and hotel together can bring about some good discounts, however, if you're planning on flying with a low cost airline or two, it's also worth checking the airline's website to 1) see whether flights on dates either side of your planned holiday maybe cheaper and 2) book directly, allowing you to avoid any additional fees. It's always work looking around when you're trying to save money.

All-inclusive holidays under £200 can be pretty rare. You'll probably need to reduce down your length of stay to enjoy an all inclusive hotel or resort, spending just a few days in your chosen destination, rather than a week.

Particularly during the low season, The Algarve is a really good destination for a budget break.

You might even be able to grab yourself a half board holiday too.

Summer holidays under £200pp

The Summer school holidays are notorious for higher prices and busy resorts, especially if you're flying from a regional airport where there aren't as many flights each week. And while you might need to be a little more restricted, you may still be able to find a great deal under 200 pounds even in July or August.

Popular resorts in Spain like the Costa Brava, Costa Blanca and Costa Del Sol, are likely to have some of the lowest holiday prices, along with the Algarve in Portugal. And don't forget the islands too. Ibiza, Menorca and Majorca usually have some cheap holidays, but you might be pushed to get anything for £199 or less per person in the Canary Island during the peak summer months.

With high prices, you might be better suited to a UK staycation. Caravan holidays under £200 can provide just as much fun in the UK sun as travelling abroad, and you get to skip the airport queues and delays. Upgrade to larger lodges or sea views and discover a new part of the country that you've not visited before.
