When should I book a late deal to Gran Canaria?
For seven night package holidays, in our experience, the optimal time to book is between three and six weeks before departure. For a “build your own” flight + hotel deal booking earlier than this gets you a better deal. That said ultra last minute deals are sometimes available due to cancellations and in some cases where a tour operator changes the aircraft capacity upwards for operational reasons. If looking to book a holiday in a peak period, particularly Christmas / New Year and the February and October half term holidays, late deal bargains are rare. Even if there is availability prices tend to stay high.
When are the cheapest holidays to Gran Canaria available?
Whilst Christmas and New Year are always going to be expensive times to take a holiday to any of The Canary Islands, the period before Christmas can yield some great bargains. Travelling in the second week of December you can normally get a cheap holiday, top up your tan before Christmas and stock up on some duty free goodies too. Likewise a holiday in January can also be a bargain. There’s nothing wrong with Gran Canaria / Maspalomas at this time of year it’s just a low demand period as people are spent out after Christmas. The end of August is another time when you can normally grab a great late deal.
