How Can You Get the Best Flights in 2026?

1. Booking Early vs Booking Late

Choosing when you book your holiday flights is always a stressful experience. Some people swear by the last minute deals a lot of airlines release closer to the summer dates, while others book over 6 months in advance! Sometimes holding off is worth it for those super cheap deals, but if you’re a group over 5 or just a cautious person, book your flights early in advance before the demand goes up!

2. Flight Comparison Sites

Sites such as Google Flights and Skyscanner compare multiple airlines and multiple sites to give you the best price for your flight. Our advice? If you’re flexible with dates, select the whole month instead of a single departure date to survey the best prices across the whole selected month to build your holiday around!

TOP TIP: clear your cookies or go incognito to keep prices low.

3. EasyJet

EasyJet is an obvious choice when flying in Europe. The airline flies regularly to many of our party destinations and will be offering a number of flights for low prices. Extremely reliable and voted Britain’s favourite value budget airline!

4. Off-Peak Times

It makes sense that flying in the early morning or late evening equals cheaper flights than flying in the middle of the day, as they are considered the less desirable times to fly internationally. Most party hotels have 24 hr reception so don’t stress about landing at any ungodly hour!

Try and book these off-peak flights to save yourself some pounds!

5. Book on a Monday

You’ve heard the myth that if you book your flight on a Tuesday, fares will be cheaper. Earlier this year Skyscanner analysed their data and found that the cheapest day to book a flight is on a Monday. The more you know, the more you save on your flights for your 2026 party holiday!

6. Airport Choice

Some say that flying from smaller airports can make flights cheaper. This really depends and if you have a choice of airports, we suggest looking at all available airports as occasionally it may be cheaper to fly from the larger airport.
