The summer heatwave hasn't just been great for Britain's suppliers of fans, paddling pools and barbeques - it's also been fantastic for would-be holidaymakers. Why? Well as we mentioned in our last newsletter, there's been a surge in the popularity of staycations to coastal destinations like Cornwall and Wales. This in turn means that the travel industry has been forced to slash prices to coax Brits away from our own sunny shores.
Whether you're tempted by a sundrenched city break, a tropical beach holiday or an indulgent stay at an all-inclusive resort, there are some incredible late summer deals out there - as long as you know where to look. Fortunately, the Flexicover Team has done the hard work for you by rounding up some of the top last-minute holiday packages. What’s more, we’re completely independent - so we’ve put these together simply because of our love for value for money travel.
