To get the cheapest flight prices always book your flight and hotel/car together to access our negotiated package rates. Even if you don't want a hotel or car for the full duration of your trip you can still access cheaper rates.
Always check the flight times before you book, the cheapest option may not always be the best for young families.
Take advantage of our flexible trip lengths to minimise cost.
Always look for our free nights or discounted prices when selecting a hotel to get a better quality of hotel for a cheaper price.
Check out our deal pages for the best deals. Always remember to select your local airport at the top of the page to show prices from there.

Take advantage of the fact that you don't have to travel in school holidays for best deals.
Read the hotel amenities section of our hotel content to confirm the childcare/babysitting options that are available at the hotel.
When purchasing car hire always phone the car vendor after booking to confirm the availability of a child seat, even when you have requested it when booking. If you are looking for a seat for a child under 9 months then don't choose Hertz as they do not do infant seats.

Book early to get the best deals in school holidays.
Don't forget to look at the children's attractions we offer. Book up-front to avoid disappointment and queues. Attractions can be purchased at the time you purchase other products or separately through the Attractions and Services Tab.
