The cheapest week for UK holidaymakers this summer has been identified as the week commencing Monday, August 19, according to Skyscanner's new 'Savings Generator' tool. Travellers could save an average of 17 per cent compared to the most expensive period, with families of four potentially saving £268.
Skyscanner's data shows the first two weeks of July are the most expensive time to travel within the UK. The tool, which analyses flight prices, found that more than 40 per cent of Brits planning a summer holiday have yet to book flights, and 23 per cent are waiting for last-minute deals.
For those seeking specific destinations, Skyscanner advises booking Corfu six weeks in advance for July travel, and Faro in Portugal 15 weeks ahead for the best prices. The 'Savings Generator' uses historical data to pinpoint the cheapest travel times and best-value destinations.
The findings highlight that while many are still undecided, proactive booking can lead to significant savings. With the school holidays in full swing, the week of August 19 offers a window for families to cut costs on their getaways.
