Swap the UK winter for sunny beach days with these long-haul holiday deals – from £622pp

IF the gloomy weather is getting you down, this new sale with up to 50 per cent off long-haul holidays might cheer you up.

And to make it even better, Travel Republic has released an extra £200 off holidays to sunnier destinations to celebrate payday finally getting here.

The only catch is that the sale will end on February 2, so you’ll have to be quick.

However, you’ll have plenty of time to travel - as most deals can be booked between February and December.

Depending on when your departure is, the holidays can be booked with £35pp deposits, with flexible payment options.

Once you’ve chosen your destination, get ready to get a tan, bar hop, and enjoy the hot temperatures away from the UK.

The biggest bargains we’ve found are in Dubai, with up to 65 per cent off on 5-star breaks.

The cheapest deal we’ve spotted is four nights at The Palm Dubai Beach Resort Vignette Collection, costing from £622pp, and kids staying for free.
