Chief executive of TravelSupermarket Richard Singer said waiting until the last minute for cheap deals won't work due to high demand.

He said: "It is unlikely that prices will fall substantially for this summer.

"Prices for next year are looking on a par with this year."

Sophie West, who recently booked an all-inclusive holiday to Crete with her family, revealed how she's kept costs down.

She told the BBC she booked in January - when there were cheaper deals - as well booked 10 days rather than seven as it was cheaper due to flying on off peak days.

Other ways to save money on holidays this summer include:

  • Choosing destinations where the pound is strong such as Turkey and Egypt
  • Travel outside of the peak holiday season
  • Book early
  • Travel midweek

Another mum revealed how she saves money on all-inclusive holidays.

Sabine Leroy said staying at newly opened resorts can save you money while also asking staff for any extra freebies.

And another recently revealed how she saves money while still going away during the school holidays - by going at the end rather than the beginning.

Here are some of the cheapest all-inclusive holidays you can book right now.
