# The Golden Rule: Avoid the School Bell
In the UK, flight prices are dictated by school terms. The moment schools break up (Easter, Summer, Christmas), prices double.
The 'Shoulder Season' Hack: Fly in the first two weeks of September (just after schools return) or the first two weeks of December (before they break up). Deals are incredible.

| January | Lowest | USA, City Breaks |
