Single-parent discounts
Many travel providers offer single-parent discount codes to help you save extra on your holiday. Right now, there’s an extra £60 off for one-parent bookings with Jet2holidays, while easyJet holidays is offering up to £100 off.
Single-parent codes can be used on holiday sales, however, as only one discount code can be used at a time, it’s worth checking the value against any other codes available and weighing up which offers a bigger saving.
Free child places
Most travel deals, including sales and voucher codes, can be used alongside free child places to make your holiday even more affordable. You can generally find great holiday deals with free child places from all major travel companies, including Loveholidays, Tui, Jet2holidays and easyJet holidays.
Baggage offers
If there’s a likelihood that you may go over the baggage allowance that comes with your booking, it’s always worth pre-booking more baggage ahead of time. Excess luggage fees at the airport are notoriously expensive. You can usually add extra kilos onto your booking in your account or “manage booking” page with all major travel providers.
When travelling with infants, we recommend checking with the airline to see if luggage and extras are offered to help make your travel as stress-free and affordable as possible. For example, Jet2holidays and Tui offer an extra 10kg allowance for infants in addition to two items of equipment (such as car seats, push chairs or travel cots), free of charge. If booking with third-party providers, such as Loveholidays, you will need to check the specific airline policies.
