There’s two months to go until Christmas 2021 and we know what you’re thinking. Plenty of time yet. We think the same every year and next thing we know it’s a week away and we’re flapping. Whether you're travelling home for Christmas or heading off to see family, use these festive travel tips to save on your fares this year.

1. Get in Early - Rail schedules are typically released 12 weeks ahead of time. That means Christmas fares are available to book right now. And the earlier you book, the cheaper your tickets will be. So don’t hang around and get in early for the best deal.

2. Leave Booking Fees Behind - There are loads of ticket finder sites available these days and they can be fantastic for finding your next fare, but many add a sneaky booking fee to your journey. Make sure the site you're using doesn’t use these fees and save that little bit extra.

3. Go Off Peak - It’s a simple fact of rail travel that busy periods are always going to cost more. Traveling outside of peak hours if you can will always get you a better deal on your fare. And that doesn’t have to mean travelling at midnight. Be flexible with your travel days and times to save.

4. Go as a Group - Groups of 3-9 people save a 3rd on their fares so it pays to get together. If you’re not travelling with friends or family, get on a local group and see if anyone else is heading your way and save. But do it safely.

5. Use A Railcard - Any of the fabulous Railcards offer extra savings on any journey you choose. Find the option that suits you best and get in on the savings. It’s the easiest way to get onboard with travel discounts.

Use these tips to travel for less this Christmas and make sure you check in before you book, a Railcard promo code could save you even more.
