Tips for group holiday booking

bigmaz

Hi guys, we are arranging a family holiday for May. There is 15 of us altogether, 11 adults and 4 kids (ages 4,6,8,12). Just wondering if anyone has any tips on the best way to go about it. We are hoping for a family of 4 to get all inclusive for £1400. Found plenty of deals on Travel Republic, some a lot cheaper than that, but can only book a max of 3 rooms at a time, and don't want to take the chance of booking 3 rooms, then go back to book the other 3 and they don't have them available. Any pointers at all would be great :cool:

Thanks

Phone hotels. That's the biggest recommendation I can give, book flight all in one booking online, and use the MSE callchecker to phone hotels cheaply. Many will give you a discount for booking large numbers in.

Get all cash (not just deposits) up front.

If you are thinking of using travel republic make sure your flights are confirmed at the price you are quoted as they are in the habit of saying the flights have gone at that price and they turn out to be a lot dearer and you could be stuck with your hotel and no flights. If you are booking directly with the hotel for your rooms don't bother with travel republic it will be cheaper to book your flights directly on the airlines website yourself.
Have you thought of asking a high street travel agent what their prices are as they are able to do group bookings and you may get a free child place per room.
