Getting there – Booking packages

There are many package providers out there. Some famous, such as On the Beach and Tui (was Thomson) right down to small, local Agents and individuals. The main thing to do is make sure that if your package includes a flight that the Organiser has an ATOL licence (Air Travel Operator Licence) and that the Agent is a member of ABTA (The Association of British Travel Agents).

The Captain is a heavy user of Holiday Extras. They provide all the little add-ons around your holiday, such as Airport parking, lounges, an airport Hotel if you have an early departure (or late return), travel insurance and fast check-in. All little touches that make the journey that bit more tolerable. Click here to see what you can add on to your holiday.

Never, ever pay for parking when you arrive at the Airport. Always Book in advance as this will save you a small (or large) fortune for starters. Get a quote today and see what you can save. The Captain is a fan of valet parking – just turn up, drop your keys off and hop on the courtesy bus, or stroll straight into the Terminal depending on your budget. When you get back, your car will be waiting for you.

On the Beach

On the Beach provides package holidays, with perks such as just £30pp deposits and price drop protection. For the naturist, it provides a couple of naturist Hotels (fully, or partially) and also plenty of textile Hotels and apartments adjacent to naturist beaches such as Playas de Vera in Spain and Maspalomas / Playa del Inglés in Gran Canaria amongst others.

trivago

As well as Tour Operators, Flight and Hotel operators a new breed of Travel Business has sprung up. If you are looking for (say) a Hotel, then you need to check several websites to compare prices as different sites will have different offers, promotions, even availability for a specific place. Trivago does that comparison for you, showing you a list of options and the best price for a particular location.

From its website: “With trivago you can easily find your ideal hotel and compare prices from different websites. Simply enter where you want to go and your desired travel dates, and let our hotel search engine compare accommodation prices for you“.

Getting there – DIY

Are you a Do-it-Yourself traveller, happy to put together your own package? If so, here are some ideas.

Camper Days

Explore new places and people at your own pace. Rent a campervan and decide where you go and how long you stay. You have the flexibility to plan your days along the way and experience the ultimate freedom. Rent an RV that suits your needs and discover any place in the world with ease. Park up next to the beach and open your door in the morning to a magnificent view, all to yourself. Next day you can experience a different, but still magnificent view. Camper Days works in a similar way to trivago, but for Camper Vans and RVs. It partners with multiple rental companies, so can find you a vehicle wherever you want to go.
