Potentially off peak prices at peak times

Got a tip from my Dad when booking a holiday. Here is his scenario:
He lives in Holland and wanted to go on Holiday with the family during the school hols. As we all know holiday prices become stupid during these times, so he booked a holiday from Manchester to his destination instead, So because all of our kids were still at school UK prices were hell of a lot cheaper, he then used a budget flight to quickly hop from Schipol to Manchester and vice versa for the return leg.
The tip is to find out the off peak dates (usually school terms) for neighbouring countries (i.e France, Holland, Germany etc) and find a holiday quote from there. Then find a cheap budget flight to transfer you. Ok, it might add an extra hour or so to your travelling time and a bit more homework, but its worth adding it to your comparison search.
