Free kids places summer 2016

Hi All

After some help/advice/guidance...

Looking to take my 2 children abroad next year to somewhere like Spain or Majorca & I have seen companies offering free kids place on the holiday. However is there a way of searching on the companies websites for ONLY holidays offering a free childs place? Or can anyone recommend a way to find lists of holidays offering them?

    Is it for the school holidays?? If so you may have missed the boat as they go pretty quickly when they are released in April.


    Other times of year they release some every now and again so you need to check often. You need to concentrate on the package holidays like Thomson, first choice, Thomas cook etc.


    First choice used to let you filter on free child places but don't think you do anymore. Just make sure you filter the holiday results on total price rather than price per person and then sort on low to high price and the cheaper ones (hopefully with free child places) will rise to the top of your list.

    As Hersetta says concentrate on the total price as free kids don't always give you the cheapest option. Generally if you have more than 1 child you have an under occupancy supplement when you get a free child. Friday 17th July is Thomas cooks full summer 16 launch so maybe they will have some extra offers on this weekend.

    It may be just as cheap to book your children as adults, once they've added on extra for under occupancy 'free' child places are often not free at all!
