Six ways to save money on flights

13th March 2024 by Rhian

Flights can be one of the most expensive aspects of a holiday, especially if you’re travelling long haul. But they’re pretty essential if you want to get out of the UK!

We’d go to a travel agent and book our summer holiday that way, and I did the same thing the first few times I went away on my own. But over the past decade I’ve preferred to do it all myself.
