Holidays in Spain Taking a holiday in Spain? Make sure you read these tips and tricks on cheap flights Spain remains one of Britain’s favourite holiday spots and with some incredible deals advertised both on and offline, travelling to the Iberian Peninsula has never been so easy. However, it pays to look carefully at the cheap flights available – knowing what to look for could save you even more. Generally speaking there are an awful lot of cheap flights advertised these days to most destinations worldwide, you should always be wary of what looks like an unfeasibly cheap deal. Often there are a lot of hidden taxes on flights that appear to be less than £20. You can also be stung by additional surcharges on your credit card if you pay for your flight on your card, although paying for any form of travel abroad by card often means you have limited travel insurance on the purchase. Paying online is the best money saving means of buying air tickets, and means you won’t be waiting in a call centre line on hold for an age and will have direct access to figure, which you can then compare across companies within minutes. Obviously, it pays to use established airlines or travel companies with good reputation and well-known brand name, such as Monarch – that way you can trust that your tickets will be correctly processed and that you can expect a good level of customer service. Companies such as Monarch also offer helpful online resources including airport information and holiday reviews – if you’re looking for a cheap flight to Barcelona, for example, you can also find useful tourist information. It’s also a prudent idea to check out flight comparison sites like Cheap Flights or Expedia which give you a pretty comprehensive overview of the best deals currently available to most popular destinations. One of the best ways to the best deals on cheap flights is to sign up with the customer services attached to the airlines you’d prefer to fly with asking them to email you with all the latest alerts of short term sales around the time you’d like to fly. Using this method of travel allows you to be offered tickets on seats the airlines can’t otherwise fill such as cancelled tickets. Another obvious yet very clever means of getting a good deal, is to always book last minute tickets for any flight. This method obviously is more complicated in terms of its immediacy and you will have to be incredibly flexible about when your holiday can start, but this failsafe method will get you some of the best bargains around on cheap flights to Barcelona and other popular Spanish destinations if you fancy getting away from it all now. Another factor to consider is to take out adequate travel insurance before any holiday, as your standard insurance won’t cover you whilst abroad in most instances. Most people think they are covered by insurance offered by credit cards and some Britons are known not to take out any form of travel insurance even when they are visiting other countries. Check with any existing insurance you may have which countries are covered and for how long; many credit card policies only cover a limited time abroad per year and may only cover the cardholder rather than an entire family. No one wants to get stung for additional costs when they’re on holiday, least of all for something as awful as an accident or hospital costs, but without the correct cover you will be liable for these and possibly other costs which may dampen the holiday atmosphere a little to say the least. If you’re planning a trip to Barcelona you can pick up flights to Spain on line, Cheap Flights were offering flights from Gatwick in November for £48 inc. tax. We also found one way cheap flights to Barcelona from Manchester in November for just over £30 inc. tax with FlyMonarch. |
