Deals of the week: The best UK travel bargains you can book right now

Whether you’re planning a family getaway, a budget-friendly city break or a scenic adventure by rail, there are some brilliant UK travel deals around.

With fuel prices still high and summer approaching fast, now could be a great time to snap up a bargain before prices climb even further.

From discounted rail journeys to cheap seaside holidays, here are some of the best travel offers worth checking out.

Big savings for little-uns with Northern Rail

If you’re planning a rail trip with the kids this summer, Northern Rail has some excellent family-friendly savings available.

Children under five can travel for free, while older children can get half-price tickets on many journeys. It’s a simple way to cut the cost of family days out, especially during school holidays when travel costs can quickly add up.

Northern’s routes cover some of the UK’s best scenery too, including the Yorkshire Dales, Lake District and North East coastline, perfect for affordable summer adventures.

Haven UK holidays from just £49

Dreaming of a cheap break by the sea? Haven Holidays is currently offering spring, summer and autumn breaks from as little as £49.

The deals include caravan stays at popular holiday parks across Cornwall, Dorset, Yorkshire, North Wales and Scotland. Whether you’re after sandy beaches, coastal walks or family entertainment, there are plenty of budget-friendly options available.

The cheapest dates tend to sell out quickly, so it’s worth booking early if you spot a deal you like.

Save money with Stagecoach flexi tickets

If you don’t commute every day but still rely on buses regularly, Stagecoach flexi tickets could help you save money.

The tickets are designed for flexible travel and come as digital bundles of five or 10 DayRider passes, giving you unlimited bus travel for the day whenever you choose to use them.

Because the tickets remain valid for up to 12 months, they can work out far cheaper than buying daily tickets separately, especially if you only travel a few days each week.

Save up to 40% on UK rail city breaks

Rail-inclusive city breaks are proving popular this year, particularly with many travellers looking to avoid high petrol and parking costs.

You can currently save up to 40% by booking hotel-and-train packages together through HolidaysGo, with deals available in many major UK cities including.

Bundling transport and accommodation together can often work out cheaper than booking separately.

Travel hack of the week

If you want to cut the cost of UK city breaks even further, try staying just outside the city centre and travelling in using local transport.

Many towns just outside major cities offer much cheaper hotel prices, while England’s £3 capped bus fares can make getting around surprisingly affordable. It’s a simple trick that could save you a substantial amount on accommodation without missing out on the fun of city centres.
