Useful Resources
There's a wealth of information out there regarding flights and destinations so we've tried to compact it all into one short page of useful information:
Long-haul Flights What many people forget when looking for long-haul flights is that an indirect flight is often cheaper than direct. What's more, with many airlines and destinations, you even have the option of an extended stopover and enjoying what can seem like a second holiday. Take Dubai for example. Emirates is a huge airline flying to so many destinations, yet did you know they allow free of charge Dubai stopover? The same goes for Etihad with Abu Dhabi, Singapore Airlines with Singapore and a number of other long-haul airlines. For more details on how easy it is to stopover, Stopovr.com offers a wealth of useful information. Short Breaks If you only have a limited amount of time or you are restricted by budget, taking a short break is a great solution. From a couple of days in the UK to a weekend break in New York or maybe a week's Summer holiday in Greece, short breaks are often worth looking into. Airlines such as FlyBe are perfect for these quick breaks. Round The World Round the world fares have traditionally targeted young people having finished school, college or university who want to see the world before they get stuck in the daily grind of full-time employment. Now, however, times have changed and more and more older people are looking to get away on extended trips and discover more of the world that they have never seen. Round the world trips can be as easy as a flight to Australia with a stop in Los Angeles or as complex as a multi-stop trip, stopping in five different continents with six different airlines. Many of the big airlines are part of global alliances such as One World, Hotel Deals For many, it's all about the savings they can get on hotels during their holiday. On many occasions, booking flights and hotels together can save you a lot of money. Other times, leaving it until the last minute to book may be your best option. As with any holiday and travel plans, it's always worth hunting around for the best deals. Comparison sites are a great option for this and can show you just how much you can save by booking with a particular travel agent or tour operator. |
