Olympic Holidays - Booking online

aaroncaz

Holidays to Palma Nova next July are coming up very cheap on Olympic, £200 or so cheaper than Thomas Cook or First Choice etc.... I have been in TC but it's online only. I have never booked online before, and just want to reassure myself that it's safe to do so:o Will it be a package holiday and have the same protection as a package holiday booked instore? I don't have a credit card, so will be paying by debitcard online, or can I pay over the phone? Any advice please.

Perhaps check the reviews of the airline they are offering, Tor Air were very poor this year.

This holiday the airline is Monarch. Or is it? Reading that Olympic fell out with monarch.

I've noticed that this year, Olympic Holidays are not always including the transfers so this may bump up the price.

I booked with Olympic in 2009, I was a bit concerned as I'd not used them before but it was fine. My only comment would be that their accommodation tends to be slightly further out from the centre and also is smaller (a building with 4 rooms for example) so check reviews.

Have included transfers in price, hotel is Sol Mirlos/Tordos in Palma Nova, good hotel very central etc.....Thanks.

Ive booked all my holidays online for the past... 11 years?

Its not that you need to be worried about. Just worry about the same stuff you would worry about if you booked it in a shop i.e the hotel, the airline etc.

I booked a holiday with Olympic to Cyprus about 6 years ago and had a really good time and got good service.

Book with the cheapest, but ensure that they are ATOL protected. You will not get the protection by using your Credit Card because they will be viewed as a third party.
