September travel frequently asked questions

• Why travel in September?

  There are many benefits to travelling in September. School holidays are over, which means hotels will be quieter and prices lower. September is also a good time to travel for weather; in the northern hemisphere, the air is still warm, but not too hot, from the summer and in the southern hemisphere things are starting to warm up after winter!

• Where can I look for cheap flights?

  Hotels.com offers flight deals as well as hotels. You can also check out Jet2, Expedia and LastMinute

• When is the best time to book my September getaway?

  Last-minute deals can save you some serious cash, but don’t leave it too late and miss out on all the best hotels and flights! If you know definite dates you want to go, try looking two weeks beforehand to score a last-minute deal with good availability.

• Should I book all-inclusive?

  This depends on what type of holiday you’re looking for. If it’s stress relief you’re after then all-inclusive is a great way to relax without the effort of finding places to eat and remembering to carry around foreign currency. However, if you’re more adventurous then going self-catered is a great excuse to get out and explore local cuisine!
