Brochure holidays are packed with benefits. First of all, you’ll find everything you need for your holiday in one place – no arranging hotels and flights in separate places and hoping everything ties together. Plus, there’s an enormous range to choose from. Brochure holidays are far more flexible than just “package trips to Benidorm”, you can book exotic holidays, cruises, adventure weekends, skiing breaks and much more, both at home and abroad.

Of course, you can put a holiday together yourself online, but this might not be such an enjoyable experience. Usually, it’s a matter of “pot luck” and going back and forth between companies. Sometimes you don’t even know what the accommodation looks like or how good the facilities are, and you have all the worries and aggravation associated with arranging everything yourself. Brochure holidays often work out cheaper anyway and you have the added reassurance that they’re often ABTA-bonded.

Besides, what could be nicer, on a cold winter’s day, than the “ther-dunk” of glossy holiday brochures hitting the doormat? (Or the “beep” as they pop into your mailbox as PDF files.) You can sit flicking through them at your leisure, admiring the photos and imagining yourself in the same locations. It actually makes you feel the holiday has already started.

The cost of brochure holidays really comes down if you add Airmiles to the equation. Companies like Kuoni, Thomas Cook, Orient Express and Butlins can all be booked with Airmiles. If you have enough miles, you can even get a free holiday out of it. There are no better brochure holidays than the ones you don’t have to pay for!
