Pro Tip: The Early Bird Advantage

Since so many people are already looking at 2026, our best advice is to book your summer holiday at least 10 months in advance.

If you wait until the last minute for popular spots like Malaga or Salou, the best family rooms are usually gone. Also, if you want to fly from Cork or Shannon, those flights are smaller and fill up much faster than the ones from Dublin. Book early to save money and keep your travel short and sweet!

Hear From Our Happy Jetsetters

"I booked our holiday through Budget Travel one week prior to our departure date. Travelled last week in July. Same rate online as over the phone, therefore, I was able to speak to an agent to have any questions answered and she made the booking for me. Confirmation was done via email and just needed to print off hotel voucher and transfer vouchers... Would recommend and use budget travel again."
