When planning a holiday, it can be tempting to go for the hassle-free option of booking a package holiday. These are holidays through a particular provider that includes in one price: accommodation, flights, transfers and luggage allowance. These holidays are easy and tend to be stress-free to book however that sort of convenience comes at a price. Another benefit of a package holiday is that they tend to be ATOL protected which gives you cover against any cancellations. However you can quite easily obtain this level of cover through decent travel insurance which is usually fairly low cost.
So if you are looking to watch those pennies you may want to consider shopping around to get the best price on each aspect of your holiday. Once you’ve decided where you’d like to go you can google flight options. Lots of airlines allow you to book directly with them and add on all your extras such as baggage allowance afterwards. You can then book your flights and start looking at which accommodation you’d like. Often it’s worth contacting the hotel or resort directly to see what is the best price they can offer you. Once you have your flights and accommodation booked then its time to look for your transfers. There are a few different options for this depending on your budget but most websites now allow you to enter flight details and they will work out what times you need to be collected and dropped off. So to save money, shop around before your next break away.
