One of the key determinants for price will be: How much time do you have?
- Can you got slightly out of the peak season? Like travel a week before the schools close (your children may all be at school)?
- Could you travel back on a public holiday - leave on Christmas Day or New Year's Eve?
- Can you split the journey into separate sectors (your children may be too young for an extended journey with layovers in airports)
- Breaking the journey may cost as much as making the journey in one.
The old rubric still holds:
Time is money
