If you want to fly, make sure you get a good deal. . .

FULL PACKAGE: Always compare the prices of a package deal with booking individual flights and accommodation to make sure you don’t pay more.

Google Flights and Skyscanner are easy ways to compare flights, while Expedia’s website offers an easy way to look at package deals.

JUST IN CASE: Want to avoid lost baggage or extra baggage fees?

The Kono bag from amazon.co.uk went viral on TikTok earlier this year as users claimed it could hold everything and fit under airplane seats.

Get it for £17.99.

LITTLE EXTRAS: Sign up to become an Expedia member and get access to lower prices, while members of the hotels.com rewards scheme can get a free night after a few bookings.

Book through secretescapes.com and you can usually find breakfast included or lovely little extras like a free drink on arrival.

STAND AWAY: By staying off the beaten track, you can cut costs.

Icelolly.com recommends Ljubljana in Slovenia or Riga in Latvia for a cheap city break.

SWEET DREAMS: Opting for Airbnb or self-catering accommodation may be what you usually choose, but sometimes it’s worth comparing these prices with those of hotels.

For example, Lisbon in Portugal is a popular destination for couples at this time of year, but with such high demand, selected Airbnbs are much more expensive than new hotels that include extras such as certain meals.

EARN YOUR BREAK: From booking a holiday to spending extra, use a cashback site to earn while you spend.

For example, book travel insurance with travelsupermarket.co.uk via quidco.com and earn up to 18 per cent back.

And get up to 47 per cent back on selected airport car park bookings through topcashback.co.uk.
