subject: Timing The Purchase Of Your Bulgaria Holiday [print this page] Offers an ongoing 7.5% discount for online bookings, but at several times throughout the year, it increases this discount level to 10%. Especially for those booking an all-inclusive holiday, it pays to book during the period of increased discount.
That means, if you book an all-inclusive holiday during that time, that your hotel, airfare, included activities, and included meals all receive the extra discount!
Especially when booking for an entire family, this can mean substantial savings, perhaps enough to stay an extra day. In many cases, all-inclusive ski holidays can include your lift passes, and a ten per cent discount on that item alone would be substantial savings.
If you have a favourite hotel, look to see when they will have rooms at a discount. Your booking agent will usually advertise those savings as well, and booking during that time can mean additional savings. This can apply to both winter ski holidays and summer beach holidays, so if you travel to Bulgaria twice during the year, you have the opportunity to save on both occasions.
Bulgaria flights leave from a variety of UK locations, so check several airports. Departure at one airport for your selected date may be less costly than another one. Especially if you are located between two airports, you may be able to find substantial savings by leaving from one airport over another.
Various airlines may have a promotional scheme at one airport that is not offered at another, so checking several airports and timing your departure may provide quite a bit of savings.
Another way to time your holiday and save some money is to take a holiday during the shoulder season. Flights to Bulgaria are often discounted during the early spring and late autumn seasons, but these are lovely times to travel.
Especially if you will be travelling without children, this time of year can offer you good weather and shorter lines at attractions, as those with children generally do not travel at this time of the year. That drop in travel means that bargains can be found.
Your tour operator could also provide additional savings, by including some items that might otherwise cost extra. For example, beverages, snacks, or meals on your flight could be included by booking with a certain tour operator, or additional discounts on the overall holiday price.
These discounts usually do not last too long, so timing the purchase of your holiday during these additional incentives can make a big difference in your price.
You can study different websites and look to see the available discounts at various times of the year to get a general idea. Of course, one never knows when additional savings will be on offer, so checking frequently for flights to Bulgaria will mean you will not miss a deal.
