A study suggests over a third of families will take term-time holidays.

As the cost of living crisis continues, some parents are willing to pay the fine to save money overall.

Holiday Extras research found that that one in ten have already booked trips before the school summer holidays.

A further 29% say they will likely follow suit.

Holiday Extras says breaks during term time are, on average 28% cheaper.

Breaks to Tenerife from Manchester during term time were almost £900 cheaper than during the summer break, even with fines included.

Parents in the South West, Wales, and Scotland were most likely to cut the costs by taking their kids out of school.

Travellers without children were most likely to spend more time researching holiday destinations to cut costs.

CFO Hugo Loudon said: “Some people will start turning to extreme solutions rather than give up their main family holiday.”
