2.2 Chasing the summer heat: North Africa is for the win

Seven of the ten best-priced long-haul destinations this summer are sizzling – literally. North African Marrakech is a bargain at £179 on average, flight prices to Algiers and Cairo are down 12% and 6% respectively. The Middle East shines, with Jeddah, Dubai, and Amman as wallet-friendly getaways. And across the Atlantic Toronto and Montreal are bringing cool city breaks with lower flight prices than last year.

2.3 Biggest price drops: Beach or city? Enjoy both!

These aren’t just “cheap flights”, these are flights that actually got cheaper. Like, dropped big time since last year. So if you’ve been procrastinating on booking that trip, congrats, you’ve just become a legend-status penny pincher.

Island destinations like Funchal, Granadilla, Ibiza and Palma de Mallorca offer seaside vibes for less. Munich leads the city destination ranking, with prices down 32% following last year’s football tournament, with Dublin (-20%), Oslo (-20%) and Prague (-11%) also seeing price drops. Osaka is down £104 on average, perfect timing to visit EXPO.

2.4 A summer week away for under £1,000? You can do it.

Let’s be honest — if there’s no comfy hotel bed, is it really a holiday?

KAYAK data reveals the best trips under £1,000, including round-trip flights and seven nights in a hotel. Tirana leads at £676 for beach lovers, while Valencia, Madrid, and Istanbul offer sunny bargains. City breaks in Krakow, Brussels, Prague, Munich, Vienna, and Berlin also come in comfortably under budget.

3.1 Stick to shoulder weeks to save.

Timing is everything: KAYAK data shows June and September offer the best flight deals. International return flights average £412 in mid-June and just £233 in September — £558 cheaper than late July peak prices. If flying in early July, aim for departures on 3rd or 4th July to save the most.

Domestic flight prices dip to £94 on average in early June (week 24) and hit a summer low of £92 by mid-September (week 37).

💡 Tip: 18th and 19th July are shaping up to be the busiest days for British travellers to fly out, so avoid these unless you love fighting for overhead bin space.
