Travelling to family is often the largest holiday cost. Timing and planning make the biggest difference.
What helps
- Book early, and set price alerts
- Travel on the holiday itself or midweek, when it's often cheaper
- Compare driving and flying with all costs included
- Alternate years with family who live far away
- Count bags, parking and pet care in the budget
