Bear in mind that taking trains or ferries to Europe is a much more sustainable, and far more pleasant, way to get around! However, these tickets can get very expensive if you leave it too late, so book far ahead of time if you can. It's worth subscribing to the Eurostar newsletter to watch out for sales.

Finding cheap flights to the UK

Here are some helpful search engines to compare and find affordable flights:

• Google Flights – a great general search engine for plane tickets. Simple to use. My #1 recommendation.

• Kayak – lets you take baggage fees into account when checking the cost of tickets.

• Momondo – for good insight into cheaper travel dates.
