To secure the best deals on family holidays—especially free child places and family-sized rooms—it’s best to book early. We recommend booking 6–12 months in advance, particularly for school holiday dates such as Easter, summer and October half term. Early booking gives you the best choice of accommodation, flight times, and value-added extras.

Every traveller, including babies and children, must have a valid passport. Depending on your destination, you may also require a visa or additional entry documents.

We suggest packing a mix of activities such as colouring books, games, downloaded films, snacks and toys. Booking early means better choice of flight times, which can help avoid overtired travellers. Many airlines also offer child-friendly inflight entertainment or activity packs.
