If your children have not yet reached school age you can avoid high season premiums and take them on a holiday whenever it suits you. If you are confined to school holidays try booking when it is not as expensive. You might find for example that is cheaper in the last week of August when parents are keen to be home to get ready for the back to school frenzy then the first week in August. Our school calendar for Ireland may help you. Look at midweek flights which are better value also.
