Holiday abroad for 35 people

mr_lordi

Hi everyone, i have been tasked to book a holiday abroad for the lads in our football team for next june. They are all a good set of lads and should behave themselves. The question is which would be the best route to book something like this? Do you just go into a few travel agents and get them to compete for a good price? Are there specialist companies that cater for this? if so who? Im not confident enough to do this online myself as i fear i may make a mistake. Would we be better booking a couple of villas or all try get in the same hotel, anyway we are looking at Benidorm next year in June probably something like a friday fly out return tuesday from Leeds/Bradford. Any tips or advice/guidence is much appreciated, Thanks.

Look at Group Bookings with Jet 2 holidays. They book you in hotel or appt together, so you should be near each other, also seats will be booked as one group. Names are only required 5 weeks before travelling, as you know someone always can't make it!
Good flight times from Leeds Bradford too. If you don't fancy booking online, there is a freephone number for you too use. Hope this helps.

Can I request that you let us know where and when you have booked!! The thought of relaxing somewhere to then see 35 lads turn up...CHEQUE PLEASE!:p

sorry don't know any details, but there are specialist companies that organise football trips abroad. My son organised a football club trip to Spain, which included matches against two or three local teams, in between the drinking

sure there's loads of info on Google

Problem with this sort of thing is it is you who will carry the can if one of them decides he can't/won't come and refuses to pay his cancellation charges

Fairly simple, full money by a certain date [the booking date] or your name is off the list.
Never had any troubles that way with our annual club trip

Thanks again peeps, Marshallmellow your welcome to join us if you want. I cant see non payers being a problem as ill set a date sometime for November after getting a price and telling them everyone must tip up before booking date. Anyone after that date can make their own way there. Great idea for a game out there, im sure there must be an ex pats team somewhere close.

If you decide on Mallorca rather than Benidorm then let me know
