Frequently Asked Questions
The Travel Mum is a family travel platform that helps parents find affordable holidays, travel inspiration and practical tips for travelling with children.
We share deals, destination guides and honest recommendations to help families travel more often without overspending. Our community includes hundreds of thousands of parents across social media, our website and our email newsletter.
The Travel Mum was founded by Jen, a former NHS doctor who started sharing affordable family travel ideas online.
What began as a small Instagram page has grown into a large community of travelling families, supported by a team who help research deals, create content and manage partnerships.
No. The Travel Mum is not a travel agent and we do not sell holidays directly.
Instead, we help you discover great deals and travel inspiration, and then link you through to trusted travel companies where you can book directly.
We spend a lot of time searching for good-value flights, package holidays, hotels and travel deals.
Sometimes this involves spotting pricing quirks, limited-time promotions or particularly good availability. Other times it’s simply knowing where to look and how to combine flights and accommodation to get the best value.
Our aim is always to help families travel more affordably.
Travel prices change frequently depending on demand and availability.
The deals we share are accurate at the time they are posted, but because travel prices are dynamic they can sometimes increase, sell out, or change quickly.
If a deal has gone up in price, it may still be worth checking nearby dates or alternative airports.
No. When you click one of our links you will be taken directly to the travel company’s website where you can complete your booking.
Your contract and booking will always be with the travel provider.
Yes. We only link to established travel companies such as major airlines, package holiday providers and reputable booking platforms.
The Travel Mum earns commission from some travel companies when readers book through links on our website or social media.
This does not affect the price you pay. In some cases we may also work with brands on sponsored content or partnerships.
These partnerships help us continue to provide free travel tips and deals to our community. Sponsored content will always be highlighted as such.
The best way to see new deals quickly is by:
- Following The Travel Mum on social media
- Joining our email newsletter
- Checking the latest deals on our website
Many of the best deals can sell out quickly, so being part of the community helps you spot them early.
We can help our Holiday Club members find deals that work for them, our website and social channels are full of guides, inspiration and tips to help you plan your own trip.
Our DIY Trip Builder is also designed to help families find affordable holidays more easily.
We regularly partner with travel brands, tourism boards and family-friendly businesses on content campaigns and collaborations.
