Paying on the virgin credit card gives you 10% off but you have to pay a 2% credit card fee so really it only gives you 8% off.

have you checked prices booking the elements separately rather than as a VH package? Whenever we've checked it's been so much more expensive with VH.

Looks like it finished on 8th August Shame as pricing looked somewhat better than it does now...

Thanks Ferf - might sound like a silly question - but how would I go about booking separately - I understand that I could book flights and hotel separately - but what about the all inclusive aspect, can that be booked directly with the Hotel?

Most AI hotels will allow upgrade to AI at the reception desk that i have been to so shouldn;t be a problem. Be surprised if it worked out cheaper than a package though?

Don't forget quidco if you have an account as well as its another 3% which is another £35 per person on the price you are looking at. Get yourself a Virgin CC and bingo another 8% off??

Why only Virgin? Hardly one of the better options if you are looking for value.

Hi Hearts,

That's what I was hoping for - as per the OP, I can't find anyone else that has AI packages to these destinations - (aside from more expensive options!) - could you advise alternatives?

Many Thanks

Thanks - Kuoni I'd already looked at and just checked again, they are still seriously expensive compared to VH...

Hadn't heard of Thomson worldwide - but have played with their pricing - looks MEGA expensive compared to VH!!

Open to any suggestions for any alternatives which might be less expensive!!
