How we plan it

Booking the festive season

This is the busiest time of year to travel, so planning ahead pays off.

  1. 01

    Book early

    Flights and hotels for late December sell out months ahead.

  2. 02

    Gala dinners

    Some hotels add a compulsory Christmas or New Year dinner. We check this for you.

  3. 03

    Flexible dates

    Travelling a few days before or after the peak can save a lot.

  4. 04

    Families together

    We book big family trips and group holidays for the festive season.

Christmas and New Year away from home

Spending the festive season abroad is something special. Some travellers head for winter sun in Dubai, Egypt or the Maldives, while others prefer the lights and markets of New York and Paris.

Dubai's New Year fireworks at the Burj Khalifa are among the most famous in the world, and a beach Christmas in Thailand or the Maldives is unforgettable.

Planning ahead

Late December is the busiest and most expensive time to travel, so the earlier you book, the better. Many hotels add gala dinners on Christmas Day and New Year's Eve, which we include in your quote.

Tell us your dates and who is travelling, and we'll find the perfect festive escape.
