Pentecost holidays: How to save up to 1,500 euros on your family vacation!

Family vacations often come with high costs, which is why many look for ways to save when booking a vacation. A common strategy is to book cleverly and avoid peak holiday periods. This is particularly advantageous for families from Munich, as the Whitsun holidays in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg offer a cheap opportunity to travel. These holidays fall in two weeks in May and are significantly cheaper compared to the summer holidays.

During the Pentecost holidays, the prices for package holidays are often more attractive. Families can save up to 1,500 euros, especially if the departure airport is in a federal state without school holidays, such as Düsseldorf or Cologne/Bonn. These significant price differences are particularly noticeable if you live in a federal state where there are no school holidays at the time. A helpful tip is to combine your vacation trip with a visit to friends or relatives. In addition to these savings, there is the option of combining the journey to the selected airport with a train to the flight free of charge if this is selected in the booking process.

Popular travel destinations and offers

The Whitsun holidays are not only popular with families, but also a popular time for city trips. Lidl Reisen highlights that a variety of early bird and last minute offers are available. There are also both all-inclusive hotels and accommodation for city trips that offer a wide selection.

The popular travel destinations in Germany include beach holidays on the North and Baltic Seas as well as city trips to major cities. Short breaks in Austria and Whitsun holidays in Mallorca are also very popular abroad. For shorter trips, weekend trips to Lisbon are ideal, while long-haul destinations such as Thailand, Egypt, South Africa, Canada and Oman are also on the list.

Savings potential and planning tips

To save even more when booking, experts recommend finding out about the offers early on. Early bird deals are usually cheapest 3 to 6 months in advance, while last minute deals are available up to a few days before departure. Flexible travel dates increase the chances of finding bargains, and comparing offers and considering different travel dates is recommended.

All-inclusive deals are some of the best value for money deals as they bundle flights, hotels, meals and extras. When it comes to the length of the vacation, it should be noted that a short vacation or city trip is ideal for a few days, while 2 to 3 weeks are recommended for long-distance trips.

In summary, the Whitsun holidays offer an excellent opportunity to travel with the family without breaking the bank. Early planning and clever booking can significantly increase satisfaction during your vacation.
