If the October half-term holidays are the only dates during which you can travel, compare different departure dates and times to find the lowest prices. The trade-off for rushing to the airport straight from school on a Friday might be a substantial saving, while travelling from Sunday to Sunday rather than Saturday to Saturday could make a big difference to your overall holiday price.
Whether you book an all-inclusive or self-catering holiday depends on the type of break you want. All-inclusive holidays can offer better overall value if you enjoy eating and drinking at your hotel, especially in resorts where dining out is expensive. However, self-catering suits those who want a little more freedom to explore local restaurants, set their own mealtimes and can stick to a daily budget.
Yes, October is often a great month for last-minute savings. Demand usually falls after the summer holidays, although prices rise around the October half-term. If your travel dates and destination are flexible, you may be able to find cheap October holiday deals with excellent discounts closer to departure.
Both long and short-haul can offer great value in October, depending on what you're looking for. Short-haul destinations are ideal if you’d like to avoid a long flight, while long-haul holidays are a good option if you're chasing tropical sunshine or want to make the most of autumn with a longer escape. Some long-haul breaks can, in fact, be cheaper than short-haul destinations.
If your travel dates are flexible, it's worth comparing prices across different months. Browse our holiday deals leaving in February, April and beyond to see where you can save, whether you're chasing winter sun, Easter breaks or early summer escapes.
