Booking holiday for 1st time

Hi guys, hope you can help me

Girlfriend and myself decided to go on our first holiday without our parents, looking at Fuetreventura, we have to fly out on 18th March, preferably flying out from East Midlands airport.

I've looked on the teletext website and this is what came up. So far so good but now i'm getting a bit lost! Is it as simple as choosing the cheapest package? Are all the advertisers on teletext reputable? I think we would prefer self catering with a nice hotel if possible but cant pay too much!

Anyway my main question is what would you guys say would be my best option? Also can I print out an advert and then take it into a teletext shop and get the same price?

Sorry to ask so many questions but i'm just a bit lost right now!

Hope you can help, cheers

    If you do book your holiday online check that the Company is a registered member of ABTA, this gives you some sort of peace of mind then make sure you pay by credit card.

    If you don't feel confident enough booking online or just want to compare prices to see if you've got the best deal , go to the High Street and play the travel agents off against each other. Most of them say they won't be beaten on price.
  • Try travelman on this site he has booked my son and his mates for the past 2 years and they have allways been pleased, he works for https://www.traveltomorrow.co.uk + he can put a package together for you so i would give it a try. You need to let him have the date place + airport + will you travel on night flights etc, keeps the price down. I hope this is of help to you.

    HAPPY HOLS, WOODKITTEN :beer:
