THIS November is one of the best for Brits looking for a last-minute getaway at bargain basement prices.

Thanks to Brexit uncertainty, package holidays to Europe this year are as much as 50 per cent cheaper compared to the same time last year.

Holidays to Algarve are as much as 50 per cent cheaper this year

It means that if you’re flexible about when and where you go on holiday in November, you can find week-long holidays with hotel and flights included for less than 100 per person.

Emma Coulthurst, travel commentator at TravelSupermarket explained: “November is a good time to go away anyway as it is shoulder season which means low prices and less crowds.

“But with the Brexit factor added in as well, there are some really good value package holiday prices from the UK to Europe at the moment, which you wouldnt normally see so close to departure.”

According to data compiled by the price comparison site, some of the biggest price drops are found in the Algarve, where the average prices of holidays have dropped by 50 per cent.

It’s great news because southern Portugal is a Brit favourite destination where the weather tends to be warmer and sunnier long into the winter months.

There are also nice savings to be made for weekend breaks to Italy – two-night trips to Florence are down 42 per cent while Milan is down 29 per cent.

Right now for example, you can book a weekend break to Florence for less than 100pp departing mid November.

You can find similar deals to Milan throughout November – even when travelling at the weekend.

There are even savings to be made to Spain, especially if you want to escape for a whole week.

Costa Blanca is down by 22 per cent, Costa Dorada has dropped by 13 percent while Costa Brava is 12 per cent cheaper.

We found holidays for less than 150 per person to Costa Blanca – and that’s for seven nights’ accommodation and flights in November.

Costa Dorada was even cheaper – we managed to find deals for around 100 per person for seven nights in Salou, with accommodation and flights.

Emma added: “Low cost airlines are running seat sales to encourage people to holiday after the Brexit deadline.

“Since many city break and some beach package holidays contain a low cost flight, this is an additional reason why package holiday prices are lower this November.

If you are travelling to Europe soon after Brexit, make sure you know the latest advice, including passport requirements and driving licences.

November isn’t the only month for bargain getaways – we also found some amazing deals for December this year.
