22nd December 2025: The desire to travel is not slowing; however, there’s a growing anxiety for many travellers that their budget won’t take them as far as it used to.  

In fact, this year 49% of UK travellers were planning to cut back on the cost of their holiday compared to previous years.   

Whether it’s compromising on number of days, fewer luxury comforts, or less experiences, many are worried the quality of their trips could be compromised in 2026. 

But First Choice is on a mission to help people pick the trip they want, not the one they think they can afford, with big deals and more ways to save. 

As of Friday, First Choice is offering up to £500* off trips in 2026 and 2027. 

Trips start from as little as £225* per person, with 10% discounts automatically applied to their top destinations from 2025 including Cape Verde, Turkey, The Balearics, Cyprus and Mexico.  

Not only can travellers take advantage of the brands biggest ever discounts, but these savings can be layered on top of other offers.  

These include £0 deposits, which enable travellers to lock in a trip now and spread the cost throughout the year. 

Many trips also have free kids’ places, helping families keep the costs down when travelling with little ones.  

And thanks to a partnership with Airalo, First Choice also offers a free 1GB eSim to all travellers, helping them to cut the cost and faff of mobile roaming when abroad.
