50 ways to save on your holidays

SCHOOLS are clamping down on parents who take their children on holiday during term time. At best, to get permission for even one extra day off at either end of a holiday requires a degree of form filling and letter writing that wouldn't be out of place in a Soviet police station. Even then, the final decision rests on the whim of the chairman of governors.

While the difference a day makes to a child's education is unquantifiable, it can add thousands of pounds to the price of a family holiday. But with this option of saving money virtually outlawed, how do you stick within the rules without breaking the bank?

Here are some examples from the article on how to save money on your holiday. Visit This is Money to read the holiday article in full.

13. Save up for the holiday you really want
You don't have to slum it. If you plan ahead and save your money like people did in the 'olden' days, you can have the holiday you want, where you want and when you want - even in the school holidays.

14. Take your bike
If you can't travel in the small hours, taking your family by car to the Continent in the summer can cost a small fortune. So long as you tell the ferry company in advance, most will allow you to take your bikes for free. This is especially viable if you're visiting Holland or the Belgian coast, which are famously rather flat.

15. Go youth hostelling
Did you know that in spite of the name, youth hostels are not the preserve of the young - and many have family rooms?

22. Visit cheap countries
Sounds obvious but take Greece - once a cheap option for a family holiday. Rampant inflation on the back of its entry to the euro and its new-found upmarket view of itself as Olympic host and European football champions, it has become relatively expensive. Italy on the other hand is still delightfully reasonable.

23. Don't use the Gatwick Express
If you're travelling from central London to Gatwick airport or vice versa you have a choice or rail operators. The non-stop Gatwick Express, which charges around £24 one way for an adult, and the two-stop Southern service, which takes FIVE minutes longer but costs a mere £9. Note: For the Heathrow and Stansted Express services it's less clear cut as the alternatives, though cheaper, can be overcrowded and therefore less reliable.
