On The Beach

On The Beach does not run its own dedicated military discount for serving personnel, veterans or reservists at the time of writing. There's no forces percentage code built into the booking site, though Blue Light Card members can access a separate gift card reward when they book a package holiday through that scheme.

The good news is that the latest On The Beach offers and deals are listed on this page and updated regularly, so you can still save on your next package holiday, flight or hotel without needing a dedicated forces code. From low deposits to price drop protection, there are genuine ways to cut the cost of your trip.

Does On The Beach offer a military discount?

There is no On The Beach military discount run directly by the brand for the Armed Forces community. It does not appear on the Defence Discount Service list of travel partners, which currently focuses on
a range of trusted travel providers including Jet2holidays, Haven, Hoseasons and more
rather than On The Beach.

Separately, Blue Light Card runs its own arrangement with On The Beach.
The On the Beach discount code offer gives members a gift card after booking a package holiday, adding value to time away.

Whilst not a traditional On the Beach discount code, by using Blue Light Card when booking, your trip is registered for a gift card reward.
This is open to
NHS staff, teachers, emergency services, social care workers, police and armed forces
who hold a valid Blue Light Card, and the reward is a post-holiday gift card rather than money off at checkout. It's worth flagging that some other deal sites list On The Beach as having no Blue Light discount at all, so terms clearly move around, and you should treat this as a Blue Light Card scheme rather than an On The Beach military discount in its own right.

In short: no brand-run percentage discount for serving Regulars, veterans, reservists, cadet force adult volunteers or MOD civil servants has been confirmed. If that changes, this page will be updated.

How to get the best price at On The Beach

1. Check the live On The Beach offers listed on this page first, as these are refreshed regularly and don't need a forces discount code.
2. Use flexible dates and airports when searching, since shifting your departure by even a day can change the price significantly.
3. Secure your holiday with a low deposit rather than paying in full, which keeps cash free for other family costs.
4. Sign up to the On The Beach newsletter so you see sale periods and price drops as soon as they land.
5. Book early where you can, then let Price Drop Protection work in the background in case the price falls before you fly.

If you hold a Blue Light Card, you can also log into that account before booking to register your trip for the separate gift card reward, on top of whatever you find using the offers on this page.

Who is eligible

Because there is no dedicated On The Beach military discount, the offers listed on this page are open to the whole forces community: serving Regulars and Reservists, veterans, cadet force adult volunteers, MOD civil servants, and forces spouses, partners and families. Nobody in the Armed Forces community is excluded from the general deals, low deposit scheme or price protection described below.

Other ways to save at On The Beach

Start with the offers on this page, then layer these genuine ways to save on top:

• Low deposit booking:
  It's now even easier to book in advance and save money thanks to the low deposit deals offered from On the Beach starting at just £30 per person.
  This spreads the cost of a family holiday over several months rather than paying everything upfront.
• Price Drop Protection:
  if you book a qualifying holiday between 23rd Jan - 3rd Feb or from 17th Feb onwards, On The Beach will make it their personal mission to guarantee you the cheapest deal.

  If you find the exact same holiday cheaper on their own website at least 60 days before departure, they'll give you a voucher for the difference.

• Newsletter sign-up: subscribers get early sight of sale periods and price drops, useful for planning around leave dates that can move at short notice.
• ATOL protection: flight-inclusive packages are ATOL protected, giving forces families booking around postings or deployment some financial reassurance.
• Package deals over separate bookings: combining flights and hotel through On The Beach is often cheaper than booking each element separately, particularly out of season.

Can I use a Blue Light Card or Defence Discount Service at On The Beach?

Can I stack the offers on this page with other discounts?

You should always check the terms of each individual On The Beach offer, since some promotions are limited to specific dates or destinations and may not combine with every other deal. Where stacking is allowed, it's stated clearly on the offer itself.

Does On The Beach offer free places for children?
