Where do you book your holiday?

[whytesnow]

For me I love jet2 or hyperholidaymarket where do you book your holiday do you prefer package deals or do you book it all separately

same as you.

Usually Jet2 for flights and Booking.Com for accommodation, always reliable and never had any issues

I've been doing a bit of looking recently and nothing really came close to easyJet.

I do everything separately and co-ordinate it on an Excel spreadsheet 🤓

Book it all separately. We don’t always want to fly or go abroad.

Download the app Holiday Pirates. I've been using them for years and they are brilliant.

We always book as a package, having seen every single episode of 'Rip off Britain: holidays', which has regular features on how you're not protected fully if you buy flights and acommodation separately.

I book it all separately. I have travel insurance.

Hmm. I always used to book separately. Until the pandemic. When basically airlines etc (I'm looking at you ryanair, but they certainly weren't alone) could do as they pleased. Having insurance meant eff all. As they just told me it was the airline who was responsible- take it up with them. No recourse, nothing. So having insurance doesn't always mean you're covered for things like airlines choosing to fly when govt tells you not to.
Anyway, it's put me off booking everything separately. And I always used to.
But yes, worth checking Skyscanner etc, as can work out cheaper etc. Depends where you want to go.

Jet 2

Usually direct with airline (after browsing SkyScanner) or via Expedia. Booking.com for accommodation. Only been on 1 package holiday which I immediately regretted.

Expedia.
After LoveHolidays fucked us over.

There’s a lot of misunderstanding about what a package holiday actually. Certain elements must be included but not everything. You don’t have to use their recommended hotels. Holiday companies can usually book others you prefer. We tend to tour but get the travel company to do all the legwork on internal
flights and car hire for example.

If the flight is cancelled your insurance won’t pay for your hotel costs just because you didn’t show up. Your hotel made the room available to you. A package holiday is treated differently and they are responsible for the whole of the holiday.

If the flight is cancelled your insurance won’t pay for your hotel costs just because you didn’t show up.

Some will, some won’t. You would need to check the inclusions and exclusions of the individual policy.

depends on where im going, sometimes ill book with jet2 and tui or sometimes i will book it diy

Book it all separately (for some holidays this needs a spreadsheet).

For the holidays we like this comes in 1000s less than the equivalent package.

Uk holidays- Booking. Com.
Abroad Jet2.
Ive booked flight / hotel separately in the past but 99% of the time it's cheaper in a package.
Just booked a week in a 5* hotel in the best room. Cost with Jet2 from Leeds £2200.
Cost direct with hotel £2400 plus flights on top.
Plus I had a problem on a holiday once at Jet2 were great.

I do it all myself. I really enjoy it 😊

Book everything separately. Flights on airline website. Hotels on hotel website. Try never to use a third party now except AirBnB. The few times I have used something like Expedia to book I’ve had issues with provision not matching what I thought I’d booked - things changed at the last minute, service charges added, etc.

Book it separa

Book it separately because I can find better deals.

abroad jet2
UK skye cottages or cottagesuk
UK hotel or b&b direct with the hotel

What did they do ? Ive used love love holidays for my trip in May.

I do it myself or use an independent agent

Generally a combo of Jet2 and booking.com.
