Finding a cheap break abroad often feels impossible, especially on a student budget. But with some time, patience, and shopping around you could be jetting off in no time!
Top tips for finding a cheap city break:
–Be flexible.
For University of Manchester students, the winter break is longer than school holidays, making the week after New Year 2018 the perfect time to book a short break as flight and hotel prices drop considerably.
–Shop around!
Sites like TripAdvisor do the comparing of prices from numerous sites for you.
–Make sure you pick a cheap destination too if you are on a budget. It’s all well and good finding a great deal on flights and accommodation but you may spend a fortune when you arrive!
There are some great last-minute deals available but if, like me, you like to plan in advance then here are 3 great city break deals for New Year 2018 that you won’t want to miss out on:
