If you’re not travelling with school-age children, September is one of the best months to go away.

Frequently asked questions about holidays in September
FAQs
Are holidays cheaper in September than in July and August?
Yes. July and August are peak season in many destinations across Europe, when demand and therefore prices are at a high due to a combination of the hottest weather and families travelling during summer school holidays. Once schools return in early September, prices generally fall considerably.
When is the best time to book a cheap September holiday deal?
The best time to book a cheap September holiday deal depends on how flexible you are. If you have specific dates during which you’re able to travel or a destination in mind, book as far ahead as possible to snap up your ideal holiday. However, if you’re a little more flexible on when and where you go, you can find great value last-minute deals.
Is September a good month to book an all-inclusive holiday?
September is a great month to travel in general, including all-inclusive options. Across Europe, hotels and airlines generally offer lower pricing once the peak of summer has subsided. Further afield, some long-haul destinations such as Thailand are in their monsoon season, with occasional rain showers keeping prices down.
Are resorts and tourist attractions still fully open during September?
Yes, most resorts and tourist attractions across Europe’s top holiday destinations remain open until October. This means, if you travel in September, you’ll still get great weather and long daylight hours in many destinations, and you’ll be able to see the sights and dine at seasonal restaurants, just minus the crowds of July and August. Always check ahead of travel.
Who are September holiday deals best suited for?
September holiday deals are best suited for couples, solo, adults-only travellers and parents with pre-school-aged children. The beginning of a new school year in September means that many families are unable to travel. This fall in demand generally leads to cheaper prices and some great deals on flights and hotels.
