In this age of recession, nobody wants to pay too much for a holiday. We are currently seeing the lowest number of British tourists venturing out of the country in over two decades and this down almost solely down to the fact that people just have less money to spend. Even the businessmen are not flying to the same exotic locations that they did annually in the last few years – preferring instead to visit cheaper locations. For the majority of families, a holiday abroad is simply out of the question – everything is too expensive; the exchange rate means that when you get to the destination, it will cost a fortune and there are fears that you won’t even be able to afford the flights out there – every cost needs to be multiplied up and the pounds just keep piling on! It seems an impossible task trying to find a holiday for a good price.

However, this is not necessarily the case. Cheap airlines have been sneered at in recent years but now appear to be the saviour of the holiday abroad. Airlines such as Jet2 and Ryanair fly out of Cardiff airport every day and offer flights for as little as £40. This will mean that you have plenty of money left over as excess for the costs you will have when you’re abroad. This way, there is little chance that you’ll be caught short when you’re paying for a meal at the restaurant and you should have more than enough to be able to offset those pesky exchange rates.
