IT may not be the happy New Year we were all wishing for but what could be better than planning for fun in the sun in 2022?
Covid has battered travel firms but they are coming out fighting with a host of deals to entice us to book next year. For those keen to lock in a break, it’s never been better, with flexible booking conditions, discounts and even VIP travel treats.
Here, Head of Travel Lisa Minot takes a look at the special offers from our biggest tour operators and online travel agents.
