The early bird really does catch the worm, or in this case savings of up to £250 per person, with Saga Holidays current early booking deals to Europe, the Caribbean, the USA, South Africa and the Far East if the booking is made by 31 January 2009.

Customers who pay in full at the time of booking can take advantage of further savings with the new Super Saga Saver.
