Going on holiday abroad doesn’t have to cost the Earth. In fact, if you’re flexible with dates and destinations you can bag bargain return flights for less than £10.
When looking for cheap deals it’s best to use holiday comparison sights like Skyscanner or Opodo and search in an incognito Google window – this means sites can’t track what you’ve been looking at and bump the prices up.
If you can avoid school holiday season this will also reduce your flight and accommodation prices drastically.
