Understanding peak and off-peak seasons can unlock big holiday savings.
School holidays, summer and major festivals push up demand, and with it the price of flights, hotels and tours. Travelling in these periods usually means paying a premium.
Travelling in the off-peak or shoulder season can cut costs dramatically while still offering good weather. You'll often find fewer crowds and better availability too.
If your dates are flexible, check prices in the shoulder months around your preferred time. Shifting your trip by a week or two can make a meaningful difference to your total cost.
