Good Online Holiday Websites

Im looking at going to the Canaries in Oct for a all inclusive holiday. In the past ive mainly used lowcostholidays and at times Travel Republic.

But with issues with lowcostholidays just wondering the best, cheapest, and securest sites now?

    Google and book direct
    Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.

    Careful booking direct. There are lots of scams operating on Owners Abroad for example.

    If you are looking for hotels, hotels.com or similar.

    Just be aware that when you don't book a package you don't have the same level of protection, so pay everything by credit card for S75 cover.

    And if a provider doesn't take credit cards, move on. Never ever ever pay by bank transfer.
  • Thanks for advice. Always use a cc. Just wanted a site like lowcost, travel republic, ice lolly where you book flights and resort/hotel in one go.
  • As you are looking for an all inclusive I would look at the main operators, Thomas Cook, Thomson etc, Jet2 can have good prices also.

    Whilst I would normally agree about booking directly, that rarely works well with the kind of holiday the OP is looking for. However it may be worth looking at half board prices and asking the hotel how much it would be to book the AI element separately.

    If you can avoid the half term holidays, early October can be great value.
    BA flight+hotel deals can be good if you can fly from London airports.
    The main tour operators should have some deals on their late deal sections.

    Hotel through trivago, flights through this website or skyscanner. Just click the options for all inclusive

    Also TravelRepublic are still good, or probably the best way is to find yourself a flight on SkyScanner, and a hotel with Trivago, and book them separately. Don't forget to claim cashback, bookings on hotels through websites such at eBookers and Hotels.com can often be around 15%
  • Thanks for you replies.

    Found best option was flight and hotel separately. Booking on CC for added security.

    My flights are leaving on 4th and returning on 14th. On hotel website do I book 4th to 13th or 14th?!

    I'd book until the 14th, depends what time the flight is.
