I was on Newstalk breakfast show on Thursday (July 9) talking about how to get the best deals for a holiday between now and the end of the year. Listen back here and enjoy my notes.

Yesterday Ryanair celebrated 30 years of flying with flights on sale for €19.85.
Did anybody manage to get seats at that price?
Website crashed…..at 12.01. now up and running
Sale fares are for September – March on sale ends on July 12
UK Regional i.e. Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, €10 London Stansted Gatwick Luton €19.85
Some European routes too Brussels, Oslo, Cologne, Paris too
Southern Europe and Canaries from 40 – 70 each way
How to Find cheap fares – Clear your cache - Use the FareFinder option
It is the third line down on first page
Aer Lingus autumn sale on too – until July 20
Britain from 20, France, Spain, Germany from 40 each way
US fares fall by hundreds from September.
Cityjet – Dublin – LCY 35 and CORK from Oct from 55
You can always mix and match flights from different airlines to get the best deals, dates and times.
Travel lights, bags will cost you up to 60 each
Accommodation finding –
Use website like Hotels.com. Booking.com is good for apartments too
Major hotel groups have sales, like Barcelo, Melia, Accor, Ibis, Iberostar
Airbnb.com is a way to find good value from home owners – either staying with the owners, or rent their space.
Homeaway.com, VRBO.com in US is good. Rentalia.com for Spain and Italy
What about Travel Agents
Since Tunisia there are more people taking up available holidays in the market,
Turkey has more options this year so check out Sunway.ie and Falconholdiays.ie
Online travel agents are a good bet, because you are not limited to Saturday – Saturday
They tend to have good deals on hotels and apartments.
Cassidytravel.ie, Steintravel, Dawsontravel.ie Travelcheaper.ie, Travelfox.ie, Lowcostholidays.ie, clickandgo.com. I have seen deals with these agents for September and October for 200-300 for a week.
Holidaysonline.ie has Morocco, Greece, Turkey, Algarve, for under 500 for a week
What about Greece
If you have booked you can’t cancel just because the banks aren’t open. Take cash. Insurance companies have increased the amount of cash covered. Life goes on in the Greek islands
