Plan your trip to England in early- to mid-October or in mid- to late-March, because that's when flights are the cheapest. During the winter, the days grow very short; sunlight is sometimes limited to less than eight hours per day. The summer (especially July and August) brings in record-breaking numbers of tourists. Be sure to check the travel sections in major newspapers for any special deals or featured advertisements for cheap airline tickets. Organizations like STA Travel offers relatively inexpensive bookings for students and other young people. Visit a bank to get the best exchange rates.
