Got flight and private apartments booked for me for next May and have done this for the last few years, it has always worked out around £100-£150 ish dearer than previous cheapest package costs, but I get to stay at the apartments I want, but have to factor in paying the same price as two people for the room and Taxi for 1 person.
I do still always check out the cost of packages to see if there are any "bargains" to be had. Still "sitting on the fence" at the moment for booking end Sept into early Oct for next year. Cheapest flight I can now get is £280 ish with EJ down in Bristol, Jet2 want well over £300 and Tui want over £400 from Bham, /East Mids. Olympic packages for a week have gone through the roof, Tui have the odd one or two at a reasonable price and so do Jet2 ,but in the main they have all gone up.
Waiting now to see what Easyjet come up with when they launch their new "holiday" website . No rush, so it may mean I will leave it until after Christmas, unless I suddenly spot a good flight price from the right airport OR package cost at the right apartments
Welcome to the board
Chris and Dawn K, always good to have new members on here and your holiday at £450 each for a fortnight is an absolute bargain
