If you love to plan ahead, this is the place for you… Summer 2025 is basically just around the corner – you snooze, you lose, right? There’s no time like the present to lock in your next trip, so we’ve pulled together some of the best deals and destinations to get you started.
Think cliché-white sands and blue, blue waters in Turkey and Greece, old town vibes and hiking in Majorca, or pure festival feels and ancient history in Mexico. The Canary Islands are always a winner, so you can’t go wrong with a budget-friendly break to Tenerife and Lanzarote. Or, if you’re after somewhere pretty that also loves to party, Cyprus and Ibiza finesse that balance.
A serious perk of picking early is that you’ve got all the choices… It’s not just the above, other destinations are available and not everyone is as ahead of the game, which means availability should be looking pretty good for your ideal dates. Call yourself a trendsetter, tick off your next destination and before you know it, the whole of the UK wants to go there too, and your mates will be wishing they’d all booked when you did.
Plus, think of the deals. Loads of hotels would love to book up ASAP for next year, so there’s usually always the odd discount and offer on to get people interested. If you’re looking to secure a school summer holiday, we’ve also got thousands of free child places available on selected trips, so you can take one little one away for free – we all know family holidays can add up when you have to pick in peak seasons. And you can make the most of our flexible payment options. Book now with a deposit and then spread the rest of your trip cost over multiple payments before you go. If you’re worried something else will come up in the meantime, add First Choice Flex to your booking to cancel for free* up to 48 hours before you fly – it’s none of our business why, life just happens and booking early can mean you end up missing out.

FAQs
You’ve got a couple of options when it comes to cheap holiday destinations. Turkey trumps things when it comes to pocket-friendly prices in high-end hotels. Spain’s another great option, too – the deals aren’t just on the cards for the country’s Costas, but for its islands, too. The Balearics and the Canary Islands are all-in when it comes to bargain breaks.
Yes – we reckon it’s one of the best ways to holiday. With your drinks and food taken care of, there’s plenty of time for R&R. And, when you book a package holiday, your flights and transfers are both included.
Half-term holidays tend to go a lot easier on the wallet than those smack-dab in summer. May, or October breaks are great options as they’re just before the summer’s peak season, so prices tend to be lower. When it comes to best time for booking, the answer is, early! Free child places offer some super-low discounts. They don’t tend to stick about for long though, so check out our free kids’ place finder to grab yours.
