Holiday Booking Tips for 2026

Holly Hamilton shared tips on BBC Morning Live.

Travellers should check holiday prices to save money. BBC expert Holly Hamilton shared her holiday tips on Morning Live.

Holly shared budget summer tips. She said don't book the first holiday you see. Holidaymakers choose between package deals and booking direct.

Holly said there's no simple solution. She urged people to research and said third-party sites act as travel agents.

Third-party sites don't own hotels or airlines.

These sites make money from commission and ads. Holly uses them to compare prices and checks the provider's website.

Holly said going direct to the airline or hotel can be cheaper if you read the extras.

Booking direct can include extras like luggage or a flexible fare. Just read the small print.

Holly warned that third-party sites can cause trouble if things go wrong. You might talk to a chatbot and have trouble getting a refund.

Holly uses third-party sites as price comparison tools.

There's no one-size-fits-all argument. You must think about price, convenience, and security.

Holly's priorities changed as she got older. Now she wants to know where she's going and have someone to call.

Holly likes package holidays. They come with consumer rights and can be cheaper.
