Booking holidays in advance can offer best rates

Britons planning a getaway this summer are being urged to plan ahead and book their holiday in advance, Holiday Extras has advised.

Mike Whiting, managing editor of the company, said: "Booking in advance can offer the best rates, so start to think about your holiday a few months ahead - start now and there's still time to budget for a break in the late summer sun."

Research by the firm revealed a family of four believe they will spend up to £50 per person per day in holiday spending money - which would total £2,800 for a fortnight's break.

Mr Whiting advised travellers to make sure they take all of their costs into account when booking a holiday so they can stick to their budget and search out a good deal.

Accommodation, flights, insurance and spending money were all items people need to consider, he added.

Travellers heading on a holiday to South Africa between July 30th and August 2nd may wish to attend the Stellenbosch Wine Festival, which is within easy reach for travellers flying to Cape Town. Meet the editors...
