News and Comment Following on from my blog on Sept 16th about sorting out your Christmas travel arrangements as early as possible this weekend could be a good time to book a hotel room for the Christmas period. Martin Lewis – the Money Saving Expert today reported that Holiday Inn UK will start their Christmas room sale this Saturday (26th Sept 2009) at 00.01am selling rooms for the period Dec 17th to Jan 31st. They will be selling off Holiday Inn Express rooms from just £29 (usually £40-£60) and Holiday Inn rooms from £35 (usually £50-£80). It’s not unusally for all the available hotel rooms to be booked within a few hours of these offers going online. So if you think you might want to stay in one of these hotels, it would be worth getting yourself organised to save a few pounds this Christmas. I highly recommend you visit Martin’s site and signup for his weekly Money Saving Expert newsletter which is packed with similar excellent, timely money saving tips.

News and Comment It may seem early but if you need to travel away from home this Christmas planning ahead could save you a lot of money. If you haven’t already done so registering with a site like www.quidco.com can give you savings or money back when purchasing online with several companies, including travel and hotel companies. It also pays to scan through some of the voucher code sites for special deals with your chosen hotel company.
If you need a hotel room for an overnight stay at Christmas it pays to agree the dates as early as possible and then reserve your room now. Many hotels have early booking discounts and allow you to cancel the day before if your plans change at the last minute – but obviously do check the terms and conditions carefully when booking.
If you need to purchase train tickets or book a flight again it’s best to do this early. There is likely to be significant disruption to trains over Christmas as the rail companies take the opportunity to close the tracks and carry out essential maintenance and upgrades. It’s best to find out as early as possible if the train you need will actually be running and better still book a reserved seat so you’ll have somewhere to sit in the overcrowded train.
