These holidays are commonly known as “build your own” or “Tailor Made” holidays.

They also have a wide offering in the “city break” world, and excel in destinations such as Barcelona, Madrid, Paris, Prague and Amsterdam.  Again, due to ability to “build your own trip”, customers can select hotels from the cheapest suppliers, and choose from lo-cost and charter flight operators to obtain the best deal.

They even offer customers the opportunity to pay for their holiday bit by bit, giving them the flexibility to book and pay when it’s convenient for them (providing the departure is more than 13 weeks away).  Customers “build their own” holidays allowing them the freedom to hand pick the perfect holiday for them and with such an extensive list of suppliers (from lo-cost to charter tour operators), it’s a very easy task indeed!
