About Summer Holidays
The summer holiday season, at least as far as UK based holiday companies are concerned, runs from the start of May to the end of October. Outside this six month period aircraft are reallocated to winter holiday destinations. For many, the summer holidays mean the peak school holiday months of July, August and September. During these peak months demand is highest and prices reach their peak. Cheap family holidays during the school break are difficult to find and the choice of destination, accommodation and flights may become limited. To get the holiday of your choice it may be necessary to book several months in advance. Being flexible with destination, travel dates and the accommodation may help, particularly if taking an allocated on arrival holiday. 

Outside the school holiday months.
For those who don’t need to travel in the school holidays the months of May, June and October can offer some excellent bargains. During these months it is sometimes possible to get late deals or last minute bargains. Destinations that are particularly popular during these months are those which benefit from early summer sun and from late summer heat. Turkey, Greece and the Greek Islands and the Canary Islands are especially good in the late spring and early autumn months with generally good weather and the added benefit of less fellow tourists.
