MSE Forum Poll: What matters most to you when booking a holiday?

Holiday booking often involves a balancing act. You might find a bargain that's less convenient, a luxury option that's more expensive, or a flexible booking that offers extra peace of mind.

My priorities are often direct flights from the UK (even if it takes 15hrs+), the country speaks English (not necessarily first language), and drive same direction as the UK. I like to roam around in a car and go to isolated hard to reach areas, and the language barrier when you're solo lost in the woods and need help is very stressful. But that's what makes a fun holiday 😁

I still travel to places that don't match any of these, but they're my first picks.

Writing from a bargain late availability villa in Corfu: def not bothered about language or which side of the road they drive! Destination is everything - clinched by the fact that it was cooler than at home!
Flight convenience is important, but more so is trying (& usually failing) to avoid Ryanair!

Destination. Then I trawl sometimes for months to find the best price.

I tend to book the flights first once easyJet release dates to get the best price and then look the best 4star hotel around Black Friday to again get the best price - saves about 40% compared to package deals
