Holiday expert reveals exact time to book your tickets for August bank holiday flights & how you can save hundreds
HOLIDAY experts have revealed the exact time and date Brits should book their tickets ahead of the August bank holiday to save hundreds of pounds. It's not too late to book last-minute flight tickets for holiday trips over the August bank holiday weekend. Brits can still find ways to get out of the country that won't blow the budget for the weekend of August 25. This includes trips to classic European escapes and hotspots like Disneyland Paris. Ticket experts have analysed pricing data and industry travel trends. CEO of AttractionTickets, Oliver Brendon, explained: 'It's easy to assume the early bird always gets the deal. "In reality, travel companies adjust fares repeatedly based on demand, and we see opportunities appear even in the final days before departure. "There's still time to save on last-minute August bank holiday travel if you know when to book.' Brendon reveals the trick to finding value no matter how late the purchase is made. Through review of historic pricing, as well as industry reports, Sundays have been found to regularly deliver the lowest average booking prices. This is because airlines adjust seat availability and prices over the weekend. Therefore, holidaymakers who plan to book on Sundays can more often find a better deal and pay significantly less than those who book on other days. 3 tips to help you get the cheapest flights when booking holidays Furthermore, Fridays have been found to be time to avoid as it is the time when prices tend to spike due to increasing demand. A clear morning advantage has also been found through analyses. Around 6am is when the fresh fares tend to show up, so it is good to get in early before search traffic ramps up into the day. So those looking to book a getaway from the bank holiday this month should set their alarms for Sunday morning. Oliver adds 6am on Sunday, August 17 "both sit within the sweet spot before the long weekend and will give you a chance at potentially unlocking better pricing.' This timing tip comes from expert insights and data-driven research from travel and ticketing platforms. It also focused on last-minute booking trends by travellers in the UK. The advise follows suggestions from CEO of Ryanair, Michael O'Leary, who said flights could also be booked cheaper in the first two months of the year. Winter months are believed to be the best time of the year to find cheap air fares, as well as just before the peak of school holidays. Another study looked in to the best time to book flights for certain destinations. For Faro in Portugal, the cheapest flights for the summer holidays were found to be just five weeks before travelling. And for long-haul flights like to New York, the best time was found to be June to book for an August vacation. Other tips for saving money on flights Here are some of the best ways you can save money on flights Mistake Fares A mistake fare is essentially an error that occurs when airlines or travel agents accidentally list the wrong price for a flight. It might happen when airline staff accidentally leave out a zero — or two — while listing the cost of a ticket online. While the odds of airlines making these mistakes are fairly low, such incidents do occur from time to time — and travellers can save hundreds of pounds by just keeping an eye out. However, they will have to be quick as airlines will remove these prices as soon as they spot the mistake. Being flexible Being fussy about where you go on holiday can reduce your options for saving money. Going on Google Flights and clicking on the map instead of searching for a specific destination will show you the cheapest rates to a number of cities. That way you can make sure you head to the most affordable destination, or at least choose somewhere with cheap flights. Avoid pricey luggage additions Most airlines now charge extra for passengers to check luggage in during their flights and it's much more affordable to fly with just carry-on. So practice packing before you fly and make sure you can squash everything into a case or bag that will fit in the airline's hand luggage rules — it could save you a fair amount.

Sneak peek of new Clydebank bowling alley with £10k of bookings
Tenpin is set to open in the Clyde Shopping Centre at 10am on Friday, August 15, and customers have already been spotted trying to get into the site. The location is set to offer 18 bowling lanes, arcade machines, darts, pool and karaoke rooms, and it appears bankies are already eager to try it out. Ahead of the official opening, the Glasgow Times were invited down to share a sneak peek of the venue. (Image: Newsquest) (Image: Newsquest) Sarah McBurnie, assistant manager (left) and Angie Revell, manager (right). (Image: Newsquest) Angie Revell, 25, Tenpin Clydebank Manager, says she can't wait to welcome residents. She said: "I'm really excited, but I'm also more nervous than anything I've ever done before. "We've had a lot of interest, and even now, there are people standing at the door. Everyone in Clydebank has been so lovely. "We have hired a team of about 35, and it's all local people, which is quite good. "Hopefully, we aim to do another set of hiring, probably around October, in time for the Christmas period." Inside Tenpin Cydebank ahead of opening. (Image: Newsquest) (Image: Newsquest) (Image: Newsquest) News of the new entertainment venue has evidently reached the town, as the business has already received thousands of pounds worth of bookings. Pre-booking, which is already being offered by the venue for this month and next, has found itself inundated with eager customers. Angie continued: "We have had £10,000 worth of pre-bookings, that's crazy, isn't it? "I only set the time frame from last month through September, so within that time period, we've got £10,000 worth. "It is definitely in high demand. "I think we'll get a lot of people walking in rather than pre-booking, so we will wait to see how that goes to begin with. "We've got a couple of birthday parties booked, they're only on Saturdays and Sundays, but we do have some. "It's not just bowling, we have the pool, karaoke, arcades, and it's at a cheaper rate, so it's definitely worth popping in and having a wee look around." Tenpin Clydebank is located at Units 13-17 of the Clyde Shopping Centre, which were most recently the St Margaret's Hospice Shop and before then the old Argos store.

Everything inside Selfridges' beauty advent calendar 2025 – plus key dates to shop
It's still early in the year, but if the latest and greatest beauty is top of your Christmas wishlist, then let me put the Selfridges beauty advent calendar (£250, on your radar. Oxford Street's famed department store has launched the waitlist for its 2025 countdown across haircare, skincare, make-up, fragrance and body care, and the haul of luxury treats looks lucrative to say the least. As is tradition, the 25-day bundle will be wrapped in the retailer's signature lemon yellow hue, with the same pink and gold flourishes as previous years. The included products – all 37 of them – span brands both buzzy and timeless, and lucky receivers will take home an extra two full-size products compared to 2024 (totalling 24, versus 22 previously). Best of all, unlike the Charlotte Tilbury beauty advent calendar, there's no £5 price increase, either. You get all that for the same £250 price point as last year, too. The Selfridges advent calendar sells out every year, so taking note of the launch dates is extra important if you're hoping to bring one home. This year, it's due to launch on 1 September, but you're more likely to know exactly when by joining the waitlist. Scroll on for all the details (including a full list of contents), plus sign-up links and more. Selfridges beauty advent calendar 2025: £250, (or here for waitlist) How much does the Selfridges beauty advent calendar cost? Worth £1,136 (up £42 on 2024's offering), the Selfridges beauty advent is essentially a calendar and a half. It has 24 full-size products and a further 13 travel, sample and deluxe sizes. Crucially, many of these won't be found in other beauty advent calendars. If you're weighing up your options and think you might find some of these in a different calendar, think again. 35 of the 37 total items are exclusive to the Selfridges calendar, and you won't find them anywhere else. What's inside the Selfridges beauty advent calendar for 2025? If you're clued up on what's new in beauty, you'll likely be excited to see relative newcomer Joonbyrd included for 2025. On the other hand, if you love classic cosmetics, Jo Malone's English freesia and pear cologne will be just the ticket.

Selfridges' 2025 beauty advent calendar will launch on 1 September, with exact times for the big day still under wraps. However, the retailer has confirmed that those signed up to the waitlist will be the first to know when the coveted calendar drops. If you like to be prepared, it's worth noting that delivery for the advent will be free, unless you're looking at nominated delivery, in which case it'll be £8.95.
