Travel experts have revealed the exact dates that will save holidaymakers hundreds in 2025

Whizzes at Kayak have shared some of the best times to jet away.

It turns out flyers could save up to a whopping 21 per cent if they choose to travel on Friday the 13th, in comparison to all other Fridays in the year.

The flight comparison website discovered holidaymakers who book on Friday the 13th in September in 2025 could save nearly £100 travelling to a European destination.

This stems from the deep rooted superstition we share as a nation that the date is unlucky.

But those willing to brave it could take a nice chunk out of their final bill.

Round trip tickets to tourist hotpots including Paris, Prague and Krakow are less than £100.

Meanwhile flyers who booked a journey the day before could also bag significant savings.

Return flights from Stanstead to Nantes in France are going for only £57.

And, a return trip from Luton to Edinburgh would set holidaymakers back just £88.

Even tickets form London Southend to Paris, and back, came to just under £100.

Those fancying a trip to Austria could get round trips to Salzburg, Austria for £187 if they book on September 13.

France lovers can jet away to Nantes for £113, while passengers looking to visit Oviedo in Spain only need to fork out £148.

And, despite being close to the Christmas festive season, flights on December 13 are also considerably cheaper.

Trips to major cosmopolitan cities such as Milan and Barcelona were both under £50.

This comes as another travel expert shared a “rookie” mistake people make with money abroad – and it catches everyone out at restaurants abroad.

Budgeting abroad can be tricky, especially if you aren’t familiar with the currency.

It might seem convenient to accept conversion rates from ATM’s to save yourself hassle, but in the long-run, your bank account will suffer.

Instead, Mark Wolters, of Champaign, Illinois, USA, has compiled a list of the biggest budget mistakes travellers make and how to avoid them.

Meanwhile, one travel expert revealed the pricey mistake holidaymakers often make that sees them paying too much for their luggage.  

Kyle Potter, executive editor of the website Thrifty Traveler, has given travellers his advice on the best time to add luggage to your basket to make sure it is as affordable as possible.

Plus, one holiday guru explained the mistakes she would never make while booking a trip.

From using a desktop computer to plan vacations to overspending on plane seats, Lauren Bell outlined the five mistakes you should never do when booking your next trip.
