Package Holiday or DIY Holiday for a Family Holiday? Sep 29

beach Package Holiday or DIY Holiday for a Family Holiday?Having the option of choosing package holidays for your family holiday can definitely make things a lot easier. However, a lot of families still go for a self made holiday because it allows for a bigger freedom of choice. There are pros and cons to both. One thing that is certain is that no one will say no to cheap family holidays that allow them to have a good time, save money, and stay for a little longer.

It won’t take long to build a family holiday. All you have to do is sit down and make a decision about where you and all your family members would like to go. Next, figure out your total number of expenses, such as food and travel. Add in the cost of your accommodation, and don’t forget to count in some amount for shopping expenses at the destination. Finally, add everything together and compare your grand total to package holidays to the same destination.

If you are lucky, you might get a call from a travel agent to discuss package holidays along with the different prices available. This will give you a great chance to save some money. Your job will be to talk the agent down until you’ve both agreed on a reasonable price. The biggest benefit of package holiday deals is that they are often much cheaper than DIY holidays.

Many families choose to build their own holiday from scratch because there are obviously much more to choose from. Perhaps you’re not concerned with price and just want to get out and enjoy yourself no matter what the cost. You can always research package holidays, but if you can’t find something that interests you, you might be much better off doing it yourself.

If you go for a DIY holiday, you choose the food you eat, the place you travel to, the length of time you want to stay, as well as choose how you reach your final destination. Your family also has more of a say-so when you decide to do it yourself.

In the end, the most important is that you and your family spend a great time away together. A family holiday is a special occasion and it will be good for everyone to get away from it all. When the opportunity arises it is always best to go for it – package or DIY – as there is no reason to hold back from getting out and enjoying yourself.

Top 5 Reasons Why People Love Majorca Holidays Jul 22

Sun, sea, sand – Majorca has it all. Since the introduction of cheap holidays, travelling to the largest island in the Balearics has been a popular activity for many sun-seeking Brits.

In fact, around 10 million people holiday in Majorca every single year, meaning that many holidaymakers hold a special place in their hearts for the sandy shores of this beautiful Spanish getaway.

We look at the top 5 reasons why Majorca continues to attract the massive amount of visitors it gets from the UK:

1)    It’s not far away. Depending on where you are flying from in the UK, the flight time to Majorca can be as little as 2 hours. Flights depart regularly from virtually all airports across the British Isles, so you can usually choose a departure time and date to suit your needs.

2)    The weather. Temperatures in the summer months average at 24 Celsius, but regularly top 30 in July and August. In fact, warm temperatures bless the isle between May and October, and even the winter months only fall as low as 10 Celsius, making Majorca somewhere pleasant to visit all year long.

3)    Fantastic beaches. The coastline is probably the main reason why people return again and again for Majorca holidays. Arguably the best stretch of beach on the island is located in Alcudia. Here, around nine kilometres of white sand stretches out as far as the eye can see, with shallow water lapping at your heels. The beaches on the island range from large, open bays to smaller, more private coves.

4)    The food. There is a huge range of food on offer when you visit Majorca. If you are willing to try local dishes such as traditional seafood Paella, it is worth making a trip to the capital Palma, or even off the beaten track in land. Alternatively, if you enjoy something a bit less adventurous, all of the main resorts offer fantastic meals from around the world. There are even famous fast food outlets dotted around if you’re really missing your home comforts.

5)    There’s something for everyone. Majorca really does have something to keep anyone busy. If you enjoy your lazy days and long, party-filled nights then Magaluf or Palma Nova will be for you. If you’re looking for a more relaxing break, try Puerto Pollensa on the north coast, or even Illetas, a quiet resort overlooking Palma Bay.

Why brochure holidays are so popular? Jul 01

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!
