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.
