Welcome to Cheap package holidays.co.uk

Once upon a summer solstice, cheap package holidays were all but a dream for working families - whom neither had the luxury of time, or the research resources to track down the affordable holiday they so desired. Last minute deals and sub-standard flights were generally all that could be bought for those on a budget; that 2-week Mediterranean cruise, or month in Magaluf, reserved for those with timeshares and wallet-burning savings. The luxury of long-haul cheap package holidays barely even existed. But things have changed since then in a big way, as you will come to discover!

Cheap package holidays - just a click away

As is ever the case within a competitive industry like travel; cheap package holidays are no longer a 'mission impossible' to track down. Whether you're seeking a sight-seeing city trip, to the Spanish border, or you're more inclined toward a family holiday in the hot climate of Egypt - there are cheap holidays abound, just a short click away. Inevitably, the advent of the internet has made it easier, faster and cheaper than ever before, to find the holidays of your dreams. At CheapPackageHolidays.co.uk, we endeavor to simplify the process further, with the wealth of resources we have to offer.

More Choice Than Ever Before.
The rise in demand for cheap package holidays has increased ten-fold since the late 60's, when the paradigms for package holidays were holiday parks, and organised family campsites. International holidays were relatively unheard of, until the competition among airlines began realising cheaper air fares to more exotic locations. By the 1980's, the opportunities for affordable travel had increased ten-fold, and cheap holidays to Europe and the Far East, America and even Africa, were slowly gaining in number.

Conversely, today's travel market comprises such a diverse and overwhelming array of offers, that it can be pretty tricky narrowing down the possibilities. Sure, you may well have dreamed of sinking your toes into the soft white sands of a Mauritius beach, but the allure of holiday packages within popular European hot-spots (such as Greece, Spain or Turkey) can make deciding between destinations, a real challenge. Couple this, with the unprecedented number of tailored package holidays, which range from bustling markets in Morrocco, to a wet 'n' wild adventure on the beaches of the Costa Del Sol - you've really got your work cut out!

The concept for 'build-your-own' cheap package holidays is a relatively youthful one, however seems to have gone down a treat in recent years - especially with larger families. Let's face it, when you have two or more children, with a definitive age-gap between them; the recipe for the perfect family holiday inevitably takes a lot more planning. Jetting the family off for a week in Rome might seem a valuable educational vacation, but to the kids, Roman Colosseums and dwarfing Pantheons will inevitably just become part of the landscape.

For kids, archaic novelty wears off quickly, which is why all inclusive package holidays are the ideal solution. You may still incorporate the odd history lesson, and infamous cafe culture; indulge in a spot of retail therapy along the Via Dei Condotti and sniff out the works of Carvaggio and Raphael, at the sumptuous Doria Pamphili Gallery. However, you could also satisfy the kids hunger for fun, by combining the trip with an adventure weekend at the nearby coastal hot-spots of Anzio, or Fiumicino (both under 30 minutes from central Rome.) All inclusive deals combining beach and city breaks tend to be seasonal (and off-peak), however the wide variety of such offers continues to grow annually, and are applicable to most frequented European countries.

Where can all the family go on a cheap package holiday?

If there's one thing every travel expert would advise, it's to do your homework prior to booking that alluring 2-week break in tan-tastic Tenerife. You probably won't want to pass up the opportunity of a discounted deal on flights and accommodation. This is where cheap package holidays really come into their own. As an all inclusive package, you already benefit from the piece of mind that there will unlikely be any hidden costs, but, you can also be assured that your holiday will meet the stringent benchmarks by which all are sold in the UK.

You've doubtless heard, or read of the abbreviations ATOL and ABTA whilst seeking out your sun-soaked idyll. But what do they mean for you as the consumer, looking for cheap package holidays? Travel companies in the UK who offer any variant of holiday, with which air travel is included, have a legal requirement to pass licensing checks stipulated by the Civil Aviation Authority. While cheap package holidays are usually ATOL protected, it's vital that you also seek out insurance to protect yourself, and your family. ATOL is designed to act as a protector for your air-fare, in the event something untoward should happen. Package holidays vary greatly when it comes to inclusive insurance, thankfully you can include holiday insurance easily.

Conversely, ABTA (the Association of British Travel Agents) has been incepted to set a precedent for standards of service, among the many travel operators now in business within the UK Members of guild-like ABTA, must conform, and adhere to a number of guidelines relating to quality of service, pricing and fair trading, in order to display their membership of the association upon their own site. So you can feel confident that wherever you see either symbol, you're offered package holidays that meet national standards!
