Does anyone know any package holiday companies that use Heathrow?

I know I could do an independent holiday using flights from Heathrow but as I am very sleep deprived and lazy I wondered if anyone had seen any holiday firms that use it? I wanted a summer holiday (for next year) with a 2-3 hrs max flight. Am tired of going to gatwick or stansted when we live with plane noise everyday!

No, sorry - but also would love to know! Have lived with Heathrow noise for nearly 37 yrs and only flown out of it once!!
Could get a bus from the end of my road and be there in 15 mins, but no, instead we get up at stupid o'clock and drive to Gatwick and still have to get a bleedin' bus from the carpark and pay a fortune for the pleasure!!!

I worked in travel for years- Heathrow is not an airport that is used for package destinations- occasionaly you will get a package longhaul out of heathrow, but never shorthaul.

Unless the tour op has purchased seats on a schedule flight out of heathrow would you get a package deal out of there- and tour ops dont ever really purchase schedule seats- they charter flights from other airports as its cheaper.

hope this helps

thanks for that info.
I'll have to do the independent thing then. At least that way I can book an apartment direct and not get into that underoccupancy rip off.

its so annoying isn't it toothyboy? Have done city breaks from there and those small group travel things.
