Where're you thinking of going? I usually look at seperate flights and hotels as well (if you know your way around it's sometime cheaper), medhotels do good Hotel deals if you can get flights cheap enough!

Travelzoo seems to be just last minute deals, unless I'm doing something wrong?

I usually do that, but I'm thinking it might be worth getting something with the transfer included?

We're thinking of Turkey

My Mum and Dad are going to Turkey next week...and my Sis has had to redirect her honeymoon to there too (she had Mexico booked )

Seems like the place to go this year...hope you have a wicked time mate

We went with Direct Holidays last year - they are just Thomas Cook in disguise

Altinkum in Turkey was nice when I went - not as busy as places like Marmaris.

Your money should go further in Turkey as well!

Direct Holidays

We've used Direct Holidays...they were good, we got a good deal with them, I went to Cuba & Jamaica with them and got a great deal both times.

Direct Holidays have been on the go for years, I went with them a few years ago, can't remember what they were like tho

As long as they are a member of ABTA you are fine....

Turkey is dear this year cos its not in the EU....my sister has just booked to go there and its cost her a fortune...

My problem is that I usually go on city breaks, so I just book the flight and hotel seperately as it works out so much cheaper and you can always get a taxi/bus into the city centre as its not far. Some of the resorts have a 1-1.5hr transfer time, so it looks like its worth getting the package... but I dont know what any of the agents are like!

Thats what people are saying We looked at Italy too, but that was a lot more expensive! He also thinks Turkey will be easier for him to get a visa into
