When you pick a summer holiday in winter, you’re practically giving yourself first pick of the options that are out there. This can either work in your favour or against. For example, low prices can be found during winter, and hotels are always trying to fill their spaces for the next holiday season.

However, if those spaces do not fill as they anticipate, prices can drop, and you may find you’ve overpaid for your holiday package. Depending on your provider, if prices drop you’re also entitles to hat price and you can be given a part refund, but be sceptical because this isn’t always the case.

Many people say that by booking early, you can find cheap deals, because you’re shopping for summer holidays at a time when not many other people are. Either way, only pay what you feel is a reasonable price for a summer holiday, and the benefit of booking really early means that you have more time to pay it off.
