If you want to kick those January blues, planning a long-haul trip may be the answer. Tom Hall has some great suggestions for the best ways to get the cheapest deal – it's a topic we also covered recently on the website, with a round-up of experts' opinions on budget long-haul flights. It's also time to get booking for February half-term, so Tom will be talking about the best places to go, whether you want a dose of winter sun, a run on the ski slopes, or just a week to chill out closer to home. If you have a question for him on a travel dilemma, post a comment below.

Tom will get to as many questions as he can in an hour, but due to high volume, he may not be able to answer all of them in the live blog. Unanswered questions will be considered for future Ask Tom blog posts. Tom's live Q&A is on Wednesday at 1pm GMT.
