Behind the scenes

How Family Deal Finder Works

We are not a travel agent. We are an independent UK team that does the boring comparison work for you, then sends a written report you can act on in five minutes.

Why we exist

Most parents spend hours checking sites and still feel unsure

If you have ever planned a family holiday, you know the routine. You open ten tabs. You check Jet2. Then TUI. Then EasyJet Holidays, Love Holidays, Booking.com and the Disney site. You swap dates around. You try different airports. Two hours later you have twenty quotes, a headache, and no idea whether you are actually getting a good deal.

That is the problem we solve. We do the comparison properly, once, by people who do this every day. Then we tell you in plain English what to book, what to avoid, and where the hidden costs are.

Our process

From brief to booking, in four steps

  1. 1

    You send the brief

    A short form. Destination, dates, departure airport, family size, ages, rough budget and anything that matters (pool, all inclusive, near beach).

  2. 2

    We research

    A real person on our team pulls live prices from every operator that matters for your trip and stress tests the dates either side.

  3. 3

    We write the report

    Three options, costed line by line. Cheapest, best value, and premium. With our honest pick and the reasoning.

  4. 4

    You book direct

    Use the links in the report to book straight with the operator. No agency mark ups, no middleman.

Frequently asked

Who actually does the research?

Real people on our small UK based team. Every report is built by a human, not generated by a script. That is why we can spot the awkward stuff a comparison site misses.

How long does it take?

Most reports are delivered the same day. We guarantee within 24 hours of you submitting your brief, even at peak times.

Do I have to book through you?

No. You book directly with the operator using the links we send. We never see your card and we earn nothing from your booking.

What if my dates or family change?

Reply to your report within 14 days with the new details and we will refresh it for free.

Ready to get your report?
