January. It’s all about stepping away from the stilton, tearing down the tinsel and figuring out those New Year’s goals. Forget ‘New Year, new you’ – how about New Year, better you? By that we mean, it’s still you, but you’re on holiday – and that’s always an improvement. Same, same but different. Before you worry about the dreaded wait until January payday, we’ve got you covered. Kick off the new year with an amazing holiday deal, thanks to these top money-saving hacks.
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 you’re ready to book, it’s ready and waiting for you, all from the comfort of your sofa. You can even shortlist your dream trip – just tap the love heart icon on your fave hotel pages and save them for later. Spain never goes out of style. Or how about that dream holiday to Thailand? Leave it until Jan and you can lock it in for less.
Set your reminders
It’s true – the early bird catches the best holiday deals (that’s how the saying goes, right?). 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 hear about all our offers and money-off codes, 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 trips by your priority, whether that’s by price or departure dates. Are you feeling active or after more chill vibes? 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 the inevitable January blues 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 in Croatia and scribbling it on your new calendar. No stress – you don’t even have to have the full amount when you book, thanks to our direct debit payment plans or PayPal Credit. You can also book some of our trips with a low deposit and pay later over a set of instalments.
Secure a free child’s 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.
