✈ Booking the Holiday – Finding the Best Deals

The first hurdle? Actually booking the trip without blowing the budget. Luckily, there are some cracking deals still available:

✅ Kids Go Free with easyJet Holidays – Yep, they’re still running this offer!

✅ On the Beach’s Best Deals – We’ve rounded up the best ones right now based on 2 Adults, 2 Children in August for under £500pp:

💡 Top Tip: Book airport parking as soon as you book the holiday—the later you leave it, the more expensive it gets!

☀️ Keep Babies & Kids Safe in the Sun
