Why are there so many holiday companies??? Anyone got any recommendations for hassle free bookings, and no hidden extras? This will be my first time booking a holiday. Simpler the better.
Not fussed Geoff. Anywhere, as long as it's reasonably affordable. Spain, Greece, Italy. I've looked at the Thomson site. Seems one of the better ones I've seen. And that's who we just went with. Those comparison sites are rubbish.
Hmm, that's the trouble. Prime time August next year. Not cheap. I looked at Butlins and Haven for the Uk, with madam in mind, but it's cheaper to go abroad!! They are Priiiceeey!!
Do you mean what bills can I skip?? No, roughly probably £500-£700 max. It's not going to happen is it! LOL But then I'd be happy in a caravan in Wales.
-for that amount you will struggle-have just booked acomodation next year for around £400 in Spain for 17 nights from 2nd September- but have still got to get there

Becks-where do you want to go,what accomodation,hotel,self catering,villa?
Narrow the choice and it is easier
I have found Thomsons ok but others don't

You could find accommodation then book a flight-assuming you want to fly-but a package saves a lot of hassle and a bit more protection
When are you thinking?

What budget do you have?

Spain etc in August is red-hot-can you go earlier or later when it is still warm but cheaper?
It rains in Wales
