Top Holiday Destinations With Free Child Places
What's Included In Free Child Places
What's included in free child place holidays depends on the specific holiday company you book with. You should always check the T&Cs for your specific holiday, however, generally you can expect the following included for a child when two full paying adults are travelling:
Flight fare (basic fare only, extras such as extra legroom seats, inflight meals will be charged as a supplement during the booking process)
In resort return coach transfers
Accommodation (staying in the same room as the two adults)
The same board basis that is included in the adult price
Access to the hotel's facilities
Free Child Place Age Limits
Age limits for free child places vary from company to company and hotel to hotel. Generally free kids places start from 2 years old and can go up to a limit of either 12 or 16 years old, but you should always check. When searching for a holiday, you will need to add the age of any children, and the holiday company will return the relevant offers based on the children's ages.
Free Child Places On Cruises
There are a range of discounts and promotions available for families looking to take a cruise holidays. Only a couple of companies offer cruises with free child places, however, as the cost of a cabin is usually set, the cost is split amongst those who are staying in the cabin. Other offers include kids sail for as little as £49 or £99, or the fourth person in a cabin goes free. Cruise brands who usually offer these sorts of deals include Royal Caribbean, P&O Cruises, MSC Cruises and Norwegian Cruise Line.
Free Child Places For Single Parents
Being a single parent can be difficult, let alone afford, so various brands cater for this. Often within the terms and conditions, free child places require at least two full paying adults, but Jet2 Holidays offers a discount off the holiday for single parent families travelling on holiday, which can help to reduce the cost when you take your little ones away. While it's a great opportunity to spend time as a family, book a resort with a kids club and you'll have the chance to have some time by the pool on your own for a little while.
Villa Holiday Free Child Places
It's difficult to work out free child places on villa holidays. You generally book the villa as a whole, so the more people going, the less cost per person. So as a family, you know how much the villa will cost for everyone, whether you have one child or five. It's worth considering going on holiday with more family members to help keep the cost down. Popular villa holiday destinations include Cyprus and Majorca in Europe and Orlando and Kissimmee in Florida, perfect for exploring Disney World and Universal Orlando Resort for 14, 10 or 7 nights.
