British holidaymakers looking to secure an affordable summer break in 2026 can now bag significant savings, as travel giant First Choice launches a wave of enticing deals. The offers include discounts of up to £500 on package holidays to popular sun destinations like the Canary Islands.
Major Savings on Dream Destinations
The new promotion provides up to 10% off selected package holidays when customers spend £500 or more. The most substantial savings, reaching the £500 mark, are available on trips departing between 1 May 2026 and 31 October 2027. This lengthy booking window offers ample opportunity for families and couples to plan ahead.
First Choice identified that nearly half (48%) of travellers are actively seeking to reduce their holiday spending. In response, bargain breaks now start from just £225 per person. The discounts apply to a range of sought-after locations from 2025, including Cape Verde, Turkey, and Mexico. However, the Canary Islands – encompassing Tenerife, Lanzarote, Gran Canaria, and Fuerteventura – feature prominently in the sale.
Example Holiday Deals in the Canaries
Several specific deals highlight the potential savings. For instance, a 7-night stay in June 2026 at the four-star TUI BLUE Atlantic Hills in Tenerife is available on a half-board basis with flights included from around £567 per person. This package represents a total saving of approximately £580 and includes checked luggage and transfers.
A similar holiday for May 2026 starts from about £618 per person, offering a saving of £446. Over in Lanzarote, a 7-night stay at the four-star Hotel H10 Lanzarote Princess on a half-board basis with flights starts from £548 per person, saving around £310.
Additional Perks and Payment Flexibility
Beyond the headline price cuts, First Choice is rolling out additional benefits to ease the financial pressure on travellers. These include:
- A £0 deposit scheme that allows holidaymakers to secure their booking and spread the cost over time.
- Free child places at hundreds of participating hotels and resorts.
- A complimentary 1GB eSIM from partner Airalo to help reduce mobile roaming charges abroad.
Kevin Nelson, Managing Director of First Choice, stated: "We know people don't want to compromise on amazing holiday experiences, but the impact of the cost of living is hitting us all. That's why we're offering our biggest ever discounts, on top of other great ways to save."
This comprehensive suite of offers is designed to ensure Brits can still enjoy a well-deserved break without overspending. For full details and to book, visitors are directed to the First Choice website.
