Package Holidays
The Main Parts of Your Holiday, Booked Together
A package holiday brings the main parts of a trip together in one booking: usually your flights and your accommodation, often your transfers, and the meals you choose, from room only to all-inclusive.
It is one of the simplest ways to go away, and one of the most varied: a week by the pool, a family holiday with a kids’ club, a few days in a European city, an all-inclusive resort or somewhere more luxurious. With so many destinations, hotels and dates to choose from, the hard part is finding the right one, and that is where an independent UK travel agency like Auria can help.
Why choose a package holiday
Booking the main parts of a holiday together keeps things simple. The flights, the hotel and the transfer are chosen to fit each other, so you are not matching flight times to check-in times or working out how to get from the airport to your hotel.
It also makes holidays easier to compare. You can see what is included before you book, from the meals to the luggage allowance, and choose the kind of holiday you want rather than assembling it piece by piece.
Kinds of package holiday
Most kinds of holiday can be booked as a package. Some of those people ask us about most often:
- Beach and resort holidays
- A hotel by the sea or the pool, from the Mediterranean and the Canary Islands to the Caribbean and the Indian Ocean.
- Family holidays
- Family rooms, pools, kids’ clubs and flights at sensible times, so that everyone gets a holiday.
- City breaks
- A few nights in a city such as Rome, Barcelona or Lisbon, in a hotel close to the sights.
- All-inclusive holidays
- Meals, drinks and often activities included, so that most of the cost of the holiday is known before you go.
- Luxury holidays
- A five-star hotel or resort, a better room or a quieter beach, with the main parts still booked together.
- Adult-only holidays
- Hotels for grown-ups only, for a quieter stay or a break for two.
- Villa holidays
- A villa with its own pool, booked together with your flights.
Choosing the right package
Two packages to the same place can make quite different holidays. These are the things worth checking.
- The location
- How far the hotel is from the beach, the town and the airport, and whether the area is lively or quiet.
- The meals
- Room only, bed and breakfast, half board, full board or all-inclusive, and what each one includes at that hotel.
- The flights
- Which airport you fly from, the flight times and the luggage allowance.
- The transfers
- Whether a transfer from the airport is included, and whether it is shared or private.
- The room
- The type of room and the view, which matter most for a family or a special occasion.
- The dates
- School holidays, the season and local events can change both the price and the feel of a holiday.
