00:00 So Simon, what are your top tips for booking in January
00:03 so we can get the best deals possible?
00:04 OK, well, just go and make sure that you are comparing like
00:07 with like.
00:08 So there's some really good deals out there,
00:10 but you've got things like, oh, here's a free child place.
00:13 Well, yeah, it's sort of free, except that the company knows
00:16 exactly how much it plans to sell that holiday for.
00:19 So make sure that you're comparing like with like.
00:21 Make sure, for instance, that you're
00:23 getting a decent baggage allowance,
00:25 that you're getting your transfers.
00:27 Be sure of what the meal arrangements are,
00:29 because there's all sorts of ways in which that headline
00:32 price can suddenly get higher and higher and higher.
00:34 We've got about 40 seconds left.
00:36 Give me some of your top deals that you've got.
00:37 OK, well, if you are able to travel in the next week or so,
00:40 then Liverpool to Faro in the beautiful Algarve,
00:43 that's going to cost you £30 return going up to 7th of January.
00:48 And that's just for five days.
00:50 Flight only, you're taking it at your own risk.
00:53 Then a couple of standout deals.
00:55 Busiest summer Saturday, 27th of July.
00:57 Yet you can still get a holiday for £500.
01:01 This is with Jet 2 going from Bristol on that summer Saturday.
01:04 Bristol!
01:05 Yeah, exactly. I'm off.
01:06 £500 per person for a family of four.
01:08 That's going to lovely Marmaris in Turkey,
01:10 staying in the Cedar Apartments.
01:12 Another one, same day, Canary Islands going from Manchester
01:15 with TUI, £544 each for a family of four.
01:19 And that's in beautiful Puerto del Carmen in Lanzarote.
01:23 Simon, you star.
01:24 Thank you very much. I'm off now. I'm off.
