DIY Holidays

With Christmas out of the way and the wintry weather arriving it is obvious that people start to think of warmer climates and the all important break away. How many people will head to the travel agents and how many will be surfing the net for their holiday bargain.

DIY holidays have taken off with more and more people searching out their own accommodation and flights and tailoring their own holiday to how they want it and saving themselves money too.

There will always be people that just do not want to do the internet thing and prefer to hand over their budget to the travel agent and let them find the holiday for them.

Some five years ago I booked a holiday through the travel agent with one of the package tour biggies, and got what I thougth was a bargain paying out just over a £1000 for 4 people.

The next year I did it myself, with the likes of Ryanair and Alpha Rooms, the price for flights and apartment coming in at around £280, yes I still had to get my own transfer, which was by taxi costing me another £20 each way, a taxi that was quick and where I did not have to travel
round a bunch of other hotels before I got to mine.

Many people seem a little scared of venturing into the DIY holiday but in reality it is a simple process and gives you a lot more flexibility. The money saved can also go towards enjoying your holiday that little bit more or even give you enough to have a couple of breaks away in the
sun instead of one.

My own steps to finding a break start with the flights, usually with Ryanair, their website has a good page where you can find the cheapest flights, the more flixible you can be the better.

1. Searching for flights, Luton to Reus (Salou) for a short break, in April, out on 19th April and Back on 22nd April, total for two people £62.38.

2. Next accommodation, entering the dates into the Alpha Rooms search, choose Salou as destination. Half board at the Hotel Caspel for a cost of £94.32

3. Oh those transfers +£40

4. Total cost for 3 night break £196.70

I could also use the airport bus service to transfer, save myself anouth £25 and spend it on a slap up meal in Cambrils.

**Searches correct at 13:20pm 3rd January 2008.
