THERE are many ways to make a family holiday less stressful.
One of the best ways to do this is by booking a free child place holiday, which always includes kid-friendly flight hours and resort facilities.
EasyJet Holidays has released more free child places this summer, and more than 230 hotels are participating in the offers.
The free kid places are available across Europe and North Africa.
The deals are available for short breaks of three, four, and seven nights and longer ones between ten and fourteen nights.
Whether you’re heading on a short or longer trip, they include return flights with a 23kg baggage allowance, accommodation and resort transfers.
Booking a free kids’ place is simple. All you have to do is select your destination, and the available holidays will have a “free child place” sign next to them.
The deals are available on all board basis, so you can book anything from self-catered and room-only to half-board and all-inclusive stays.
If you’re after a self-catered stay, the biggest bargain we’ve found is in Algarve, Portugal.
