Compared to going straight to the airline site and hunting for the flight and hotel separately, this was much quicker. I'd never booked a package before and was worried I'd miss something, but the booking page laid out the flights, hotel and transfers clearly and the total was shown before I paid. The confirmation came through within a minute and everything matched what I'd picked.
Read moreBefore this I'd always used a high street travel agent, and I'd assumed booking online would save money. It didn't really here, the same hotel was a fair bit cheaper on the hotel's own site. The booking itself was simple enough but the rebooking fee when I changed dates was steep and nobody explained it clearly until I'd already paid.
Read moreHonestly this was the one we went with in the end. We compared three other sites and a travel agent before deciding, and this came out ahead on the total once taxes and baggage were included. Booking took maybe twenty minutes and the confirmation emails were clear about check in times. The hotel room was what we'd paid for and the transfer was on time, so no complaints at all.
Read moreHad an early flight and needed somewhere to crash the night before. Found a place a few minutes from the terminal on the site. Room was basic but clean and the shuttle was handy, just a bit of a wait for it in the morning.
Needed to get flights over to see my parents and the dates were fixed so I didn't have much choice. Had been using this site for years so it was the first place I looked. The booking went through fine and the price was reasonable, though the seat fee was a bit annoying.
Used the price comparison bit to check a few different hotels in Barcelona against each other before picking one. Ended up going with the one that was a bit more expensive but had better reviews, which the site made easy to see. Booking was fine, the only thing was the confirmation email took ages to arrive.
Booked the hire car alongside the flights and it was the cheapest bit of the whole trip which I didn't expect. The pickup desk at the airport had a queue of about forty minutes though and the confirmation email had the wrong terminal on it so we went round in circles for a bit. Otherwise sorted.
Compared to going to a high street agent, booking on the site was much quicker and I could see every option side by side. I'd always assumed it would be dearer but it wasn't. The confirmation email took a few hours to arrive though, and I spent a bit of time wondering if the booking had gone through.
Compared to booking the flight direct with the airline, this was about a tenner cheaper for the same flight and bags. The only catch is the seat choice costs extra, so the saving shrinks if you want to sit together. Booking was quick and the confirmation came through straight away.
