Save With Free Child Places
Family holidays can be a costly affair, but with free child place holidays, you can enjoy a break without breaking the bank. Two of the main holiday providers, Jet2holidays and TUI, offer special deals where children can stay for free, reducing the overall cost for families. We'll help you explore everything you need to know about free child place holidays in 2025 or 2026, how to book them, and the best destinations to visit. A free child place means that when two full-paying adults book a holiday, one child under a specified age (usually 12 years or younger but can be as high as 16) can stay, fly, and eat for free. This offer is available at a wide range of resorts and destinations, making it a fantastic option for families seeking an affordable getaway.

How to Find and Book Free Child Places
The two biggest travel companies, TUI holidays and Jet2holidays, offer thousands of free child places on select holidays each year. Because they use their own flights, they can offer these free spaces within package holidays that include flights, accommodation, food (depending on what board basis is booked) and airport transfers. The best child friendly holidays will often have these deals at fantastic family hotels that have facilities like kids' clubs, water parks, and loads of activities. You'll find some of the most offers available in destinations like Turkish Riviera, the Greek Islands, Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands.
Free Kids' Place Finder
Finding the perfect holiday deal with free child places is simple. Several websites like Jet2holidays and TUI have Free Kids' Place Finders, allowing you to search specifically for deals where children can stay for free. You can filter by destination, duration, and holiday type to find the perfect family break. They even have free holidays in the school summer holidays, but you'll have to be fast as the popular hotels get booked quickly. Other websites like Icelolly.com and loveholidays will automatically include the place (if available) in the final price.
How To Book A Free Child Place
Booking a free child place is straightforward. After choosing your destination and package, make sure to check the terms and conditions for the child place offer. Typically, free child places are limited and are available on a first-come, first-served basis, so it's a good idea to book early. Always confirm the exact inclusions when booking, but to get the biggest savings go all inclusive. There are loads of all inclusive holidays to Turkey, Spain and Greece that are great for families.
What's Included?
When booking a free child place holiday, many people wonder what's actually included. Typically, the offer includes flights, hotel, transfers, luggage and meals (depending on the board basis), provided two adults are paying full price for the same. The child must stay in the same hotel room as the adults.
