If this cold weather is only serving to make your January blues feel worse than ever, and all you can do is fantasise about lying on a hot beach somewhere, then we have some news that might cheer you up…

Now could be just the time to start planning your big 2018 holiday – at least if you want to make sure you nab the cheapest flights possible. And, let’s fact it, we could all do with saving as many pennies as possible right now.

Yep, according to the travel experts at AirfareWatchdog.com, this January is the best month of the year to book flights if you want to get the most affordable deals.

And you’d better be quick if you want to grab the best bargains, because the travel site’s founder, George Hobica, told Travel + Leisure that the post-Christmas ‘slump’ is when prices are lowest.

Usually, this means the best time to book is between 4 January and 15 February, when prices tend to start rising again.

This is backed up by flight comparison site Skyscanner’s revelation in December that January is the best month to book.
