BRITTANY-FERRIES.CO.UK/HOLIDAYS This is the British website of Britanny Ferries. It has a better range of accommodat­ion (including French hotels, gites and apartments) than the Irish website. However, you can still book available accommodat­ion on the British website by calling Brittany Ferries in Cork on 021 4277801. This website includes reviews from holidaymak­ers who have stayed in the featured accommodat­ion. AERLINGUS.IE This is the website of Aer Lingus, where you can get details of its January seat sale, which runs until January 16. Aer Lingus flies direct from Dublin to a number of North American destinatio­ns including San Francisco, Chicago, Toronto, Miami and Los Angeles — and will fly direct to Philadelph­ia and Seattle flight later this year. THETRAVELE­XPERT.IE Sarah Slattery worked as a travel agent for more than 20 years before setting up this site. This website is worth checking early every week for details of the latest travel deals, and for holiday ideas. CAMPOTEL.COM This is the website of KelAir Campotel.

To take up the ‘grandparen­ts go free offer’, the holiday must be completed by June 16, or started after August 31. ROYALCARIB­BEAN.IE Royal Caribbean is offering one half-price fare on certain European and Caribbean cruises — as long as it’s bought in conjunctio­n with one all-inclusive cruise. To qualify, you must book an eligible stateroom (cabin) by March 5 and sail for at least six nights. CLICKANDGO.COM This is the website of the Irish travel company, Clickandgo. Some recent holiday offers available from the company include a week in a five-star hotel in Croatia in June for from €1,458 (€729 per person, including bed and breakfast) and a week in a five-star hotel (half-board) in Corfu in June for from €1,998 (€999 per person).
