January gets a bad rep for the blues and all that, but we’re here to give it a makeover. Forget ‘New Year, new you’ and think New Year, better you. By that we mean, just you but on holiday – that’s always an improvement. And we’ve got the deals and the sales hacks to make that happen.
Psst, how’s that handmade jumper going down? The one that Grandma gets you EVERY year… we thought so. Now’s the perfect time to book that dream trip you really wanted for Christmas. And, before you worry about that dreaded wait until Jan payday, we’ve got flexible payments to keep you covered, too.
So, check out our top tips for making the most of the January sales this year and get yourself a hot deal…
Fill your basket
Everyone’s been guilty of wearing sales goggles before, buying things we don’t need just because they’re cheap. We panic purchase and come back with all sorts, but none of it really fits and it’s all last season’s stuff anyway. Holidays are different. You can browse exactly what you’re after before the sales, stick it in your basket and when the discounts hit, it’s ready and waiting for you, all from the comfort of your sofa. You can even shortlist your dream trips – just tap the love heart icon on your fave hotel pages and save them for later – then you can see which one will get you the biggest saving.

Set your reminders
It’s true – the early bird catches the best holiday deals. If you want to bag the best of the best, make sure you jump on our app or website right from the start of January. We’ll keep the savings coming throughout the month, so give our deals pages a stalk and be first in line to pick your perfect discounted trip. Follow us on social media too – @firstchoiceholidays – and don’t forget to sign up for our emails to be the first to know about new destinations, itinerary inspo and, ofc, our best offers all year round.

Use your filters
There’s no point scrolling someone else’s picks. Filter your search to find what you really want and order the trip results by your priority, whether that’s by price or departure dates. Are you feeling three stars or five? Busy city or sandy beach? Select only what you want to see so you’re not wasting any precious shopping time.

Pick the way you pay
Pair the Christmas crunch with a January cold and you’ll be left feeling two things – broke and miserable. Give yourself something to look forward to with a spot of winter sun in Cyprus, or cheer yourself up by booking that summer holiday to Turkey and popping it on your new calendar. No stress – you don’t even have to have to pay the full amount when you book, thanks to our direct debit payment plans and PayPal Credit. You can also book some of our trips with a low deposit and pay later over a set of instalments. Pick a £30pp deposit and lock it those plans now with absolutely no admin fees, or go for a £0 deposit to pay nothing upfront! T&Cs apply.
This deal is valid for one of our £30pp deposits – go, go, go!
Secure a free child place
Having little ones can soon add up – especially after Santa’s been. So, make the most of our Free Child Place Finder and take one of them away for nothing. It’s one free place per hotel room with a minimum of two full-paying adults, applies to new bookings only and on selected holidays, subject to availability. Opt for family fun featuring sun, sea and slides, or favour the forest with tree-top adventures. The sun shines a little brighter when you score a deal like this, trust us.
Families, this hot deal comes with a free child place – you’re welcome.
