But how do you go about finding the perfect deal?<\/p>\n<h5>Here are a few tips from travel experts to get you started:<\/h5>\n<ol>\n<li>Book 9-7 months in advance if you can. Most airlines release their schedule 9 months out. Book before and you won\u2019t have all the options, book too late the fares will go up.<\/li>\n<li>Be flexible with flight times and duration \u2013 unsociable flight times and longer connections mean cheaper flights. Give us the maximum date range and we\u2019ll do the work.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid school holidays \u2013 this might seem like the obvious thing to do, but many clients still don\u2019t appreciate the impact this has.<\/li>\n<li>Family Christmas vs New Year \u2013 New Year\u2019s Eve is the single most expensive day of the year for hotels. Get a good price by travelling on Christmas Day. If you can squeeze 1-2 days either side of the rush it can have a huge impact.<\/li>\n<li>Travelling with children? A family of 4 is no problem, a family of 5 is very hard to accommodation in one room. Make the most of travelling with your children when they are under 2 and still free!<\/li>\n<li>Look for seasonal low prices \u2013 the last 2 weeks of January and June, and the first 2 weeks of December offer good deals. September can also be a good month for last-minute offers.<\/li>\n<li>Talk to an expert! Tour operators often know the best deals available at the time and will save you precious time in finding the best deal for your budget, time of year and desired destination.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h5>Want to know our best value destinations for your next windsurfing holiday?<\/h5>\n<h4>Mauritius<\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"3983\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.planetwindsurfholidays.com\/blog\/romantic-experiences-windsurf-holiday-st-regis-mauritius\/st-regis-mauritius-resort\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.planetwindsurfholidays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/st-regis-mauritius-resort-e1517999187845.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,534\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"st-regis-mauritius-resort\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.planetwindsurfholidays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/st-regis-mauritius-resort-250x167.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.planetwindsurfholidays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/st-regis-mauritius-resort-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3983 size-full\" title=\"st-regis-mauritius-resort\" src=\"http:\/\/www.planetwindsurfholidays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/st-regis-mauritius-resort-e1517999187845.jpg\" alt=\"st-regis-mauritius-resort\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\"><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.planetwindsurfholidays.com\/countries\/mauritius\/mus\">Mauritius<\/a> offers the best prices in the prime windsurfing season \u2013 even in summer school holidays!
