Are you missing out on bargain prices for flights to Alicante
and cheap holidays or Benidorm accommodation?
Here are some tips to getting the best deals on fares, hotels and package
holiday deals to Alicante, Murcia, Valencia and Spanish destinations.
Although great deals can be found on last minute holidays, you could be missing out on
booking cheap holidays at the lowest costs by waiting far too late to book your holidays.
Most people are unaware how the travel industry set the costs for flights and accommodation. Flights are
usually cheaper closer to the time they are first scheduled, and released for sale. You will benefit by being able
to book real bargain holidays by looking out for seats being released. This is especially true of the low cost
carriers. Those cheap seats you see for 99p are there to get traffic to the websites to get you to book, but they
are limited in numbers. Booking a.s.a.p is therefore essential.
Be Flexible to book the cheapest flights and find bargain holidays. If possible allow 7 days either way for
your chosen dates as off peak days and late or very early flights mid-week are cheaper. For seat sales sign up
to all the low cost carriers to get notification of special sale days.
The last minute booking culture of some years ago is not as good as it once was. Many tour operators who
used to buy massive numbers of seats and beds in bulk have cut back on the numbers to many Spanish
destinations. Early booking price reductions are now more evident in marketing resorts online to get customers
to book early in the online competitive market place.
Travel out of season when possible to find the best offers on accommodation and flights. You will still need
to book 10 or 12 weeks ahead but you will find the best prices in January to March and October November.
Top tips for booking a cheap holiday direct online:
1.Be flexible with your dates and choices of accommodation. Picking a hotel away from central resort areas
will offer the best chance of getting a bargain. You may find our star rating guide a help.
2.If you find a cheap flight book it immediately as it may be the only one left at that price. Accommodation
prices are far more competitive and you will always be able to find something to suit your budget even if not the
first choice of accommodation.
3.Look at independent websites like ours who are affiliate partners to other companies rather than the large
tour operators. Earning commission on small websites is hard and competitive they will therefore likely have
chosen the best partners with the best rates for you from the many online travel websites. They will have done
the searching for you and could save you hours of time and bag you a bargain too. The price you pay is also
the same as going direct, so book mark your favourite independent websites when bargain hunting.
4.Avoid going direct to hotel websites as these are generally the top room rates (rack rate) always use a
well known reservation website. You will find accommodation is more varied, better priced and with maximum
choice. Most people are not aware that the prices on accommodation sites are set by the hotel or apartment
direct and not by the reservation website who only act as a booking engine.
6.Consider flying early or last thing at night as these flights are always cheaper.
7.Avoid national holidays and school holidays as these are always premium price times. Going a few days
before or after a bank holiday can make huge savings. Also check for holidays in your destination country.
8.The best value holidays in Spain are along the Costa Blanca, with a huge range of cheap holidays to
choose from. Self-catering apartments are great for cheap family holidays, and for couples try small
independent 2 and 3 star Spanish hotels rather than the mass market super complex.
