You ask, we answer…
-
How will you get cheaper holidays?
We get cheaper holidays by working directly with airlines and hotels to secure fair rates year-round, cutting out hidden fees and markups that usually drive prices up during school holidays.
-
OK, but how?
We keep holiday prices cheaper during school holidays by securing fixed-rate contracts with airlines and hotels well in advance. These agreements guarantee us a set number of seats and rooms at discounted rates, regardless of demand spikes during peak times. Unlike traditional travel companies that raise prices due to high demand, our pre-negotiated bulk deals protect against price hikes.
-
But why would airlines give you cheap prices?
It’s true that demand is higher during school holidays, but here’s the key: airlines want to secure guaranteed bookings early to better manage their capacity and reduce the risk of empty seats.
Our model offers them certainty and efficiency, and in return, we can negotiate better rates that we pass on to families. It’s about creating a stable partnership rather than leaving everything to last-minute market forces. That’s why airlines see value in working with us, even during busy periods.

"You'll be bankrupt in 6 months"
We’re starting lean, focusing on validating demand with a pilot before scaling, and carefully managing our costs. Our approach is to build strong partnerships with airlines and hotels to secure competitive rates, which is our key competitive advantage.
We’re also capitalising on a clear market need: many families are priced out of holidays during school breaks. That demand gives us a solid foundation to grow sustainably.
We have a detailed roadmap with clear milestones and contingency plans. While no business can guarantee success, we’re confident that with careful execution, adaptability, and a customer-first approach, we’ll not only survive but thrive beyond that 6-month horizon.
-
Will you be ATOL/ABTA registered?
Yes, obtaining ATOL and ABTA accreditation is a priority for FairBreak Holidays. These licenses are essential for consumer protection and trust in the travel industry. We are currently working towards meeting all the necessary requirements to become fully accredited. This will ensure that our customers have financial protection and peace of mind when booking with us, which is fundamental to building a reputable and trusted travel brand
-
Which countries will you offer holidays to?
FairBreak Holidays will focus initially on popular, family-friendly European destinations, particularly those that are cost-effective and accessible from the UK. The primary countries we plan to offer holidays to are:
Spain - Including the Costa del Sol, Costa Blanca, and the Balearic Islands.
Portugal - Primarily the Algarve region.
Greece - Focusing on the Greek islands like Crete, Rhodes, and Corfu.
Turkey - Popular spots like Antalya and Bodrum.
-
Even if you book early hotels and airlines will just wait for higher demand and sell then.
You’re right that airlines and hotels know demand will come eventually. But here’s the thing: We’re focusing on creating long-term partnerships where we guarantee a volume of bookings, giving airlines and hotels stability and predictability.
Instead of waiting for last-minute bookings at inflated prices, they can rely on our steady, bulk pre-bookings. This consistency benefits them because it reduces the risk of unsold rooms or seats – something even peak times can’t always guarantee.
By securing these deals early and locking in fair rates, we’re able to offer families prices that don’t soar just because it’s school holidays. It’s all about building relationships where everyone wins!

How will you get the numbers to book in bulk?
To get the numbers needed for bulk bookings, we'll leverage community-driven marketing and early sign-up incentives. Here's the plan:
Build a Strong Community Early: Through social media channels (like TikTok), we’re actively engaging families who feel frustrated by holiday price hikes. Our recent viral video has already shown there’s massive interest in fair pricing.
Launch an Interest-Driven Sign-Up Campaign: On our website, we’ll offer an early sign-up for families who want to be the first to know about our holiday deals. By building a pre-launch mailing list, we can demonstrate demand to our airline and hotel partners.
Create Early-Bird Booking Incentives: Once we secure deals, we’ll offer discounted rates for early adopters, encouraging families to book together and fill our allocation quickly.
Leverage Partnerships: We’ll collaborate with family-focused communities, parenting bloggers, and online groups to widen our reach and attract more families who are actively looking for affordable holidays.
By combining community engagement, incentives, and partnerships, we’ll have the numbers to confidently negotiate bulk deals.

Why would anyone use you over the big travel companies?
1. Fair Pricing, Even in Peak Seasons:
Unlike big holiday companies that hike prices during school holidays, we commit to keeping costs consistent, making family trips affordable year-round.
2. Transparent and Community-Driven:
We’re not just another holiday company—we’re on a mission to make family travel fair. We listen to our community, address their frustrations, and build travel packages that genuinely meet their needs.
3. Smarter Choices for Families:
Instead of just offering the most popular (and expensive) destinations, we focus on slightly lesser-known spots and nearby regional airports that provide the same great experience at a fraction of the cost.
