Our practical tips for last-minute August holidays
What to pack for a last-minute holiday in August?
Keeping things simple and avoiding overpacking is key when heading off for last-minute August holidays. We recommend items such as phone chargers, plug adapters, your travel documents, comfortable clothing, and walking shoes/hiking boots. Extra toiletries, sunglasses, beach towels, sun cream, a first-aid kit, evening attire and guidebooks are also good to bring along.
What budget to plan for a last-minute holiday?
As August represents the peak season in the destinations we highlighted above, you should expect to spend a minimum of £100 to £150 per person per day. Budgeting some emergency funding is also advisable, as unexpected costs often arise during last-minute holidays.
Useful information before leaving for last-minute August holidays
To maximise your savings when you book last-minute August holidays, we recommend being flexible with your dates and considering mid-week travel. This will increase your chances of finding a great deal on an exciting getaway.
