Free Child Places - Not as free as they look!
Many of the tour operators featured on this site have free child place holiday offers but sometimes these holiday offers are not as free as they may look. Very often, because the child gets a free place, the accommodation is regarded as being "under occupied". Because the holiday accommodation is under occupied the tour operator then applies an under occupancy charge which may make the total family holiday price for the holiday higher than if the child place had been paid for.
Free Child Places - The information provided by holiday companies isn't always clear.
Most holiday companies offer free child places to some resorts at certain times of the year usually outside the peak season dates (i.e. the most popular school holiday dates). Unfortunately, there is no standard way that holiday companies provide free child place information so we are currently unable to tell you on the directline holidays website if free child places are available and if they would offer the cheapest holiday deal if they did.
Free Child Places - Cheap holidays with (or without) free child places.
The best way to book a cheap family holiday is to decide on the destination and when you want to travel. Then decide on the type of holiday board basis you want (Self catering, bed and breakfast, half board, full board or all inclusive). Search the directline holidays site and obtain your the holiday reference number. We will then be able to advise you over the phone if there are free child place offers and if taking up the free place is the cheapest way to book a family holiday.
