Savvy bookings can reduce the cost of a summer holiday

Those looking to save money on their next holiday would do well to consider being more flexible than usual, according to advice from one expert.

Being flexible could be the key to saving money on a holiday, an expert has said.

Going away outside of the peak season can cut costs "vastly", according to Alistair Daly, marketing director of online travel agent On The Beach.

All-inclusive deals and flights from non-local airports can also be cheaper than booking everything separately and flying from the nearest hub, he explained.

One good way of saving money for a holiday to be taken next year is to book hotels now, as room rates are low at the moment, Mr Daly added.

"Many hoteliers are slashing prices in order to attract British holidaymakers so there will be many great deals out there," he stated.

Looking for cheap travel insurance may also help to keep holiday costs as low as possible.

Recent figures from Monarch Holidays indicated that an increasing number of Britons are opting for all-inclusive and self-catering deals as a way of saving money.
