Why You Should Book Last Minute Vacation Specials

By Adriana Noton


Holidays are enjoyed by many. It is a fun and relaxing break that provides a resting and rejuvenating experience. Many package holidays are available, including last minute vacation specials that are often cheaper.

In the summer months, holidays can be especially expensive because of the prices rising when children are away from school. By booking a last minute deal, such expenses could be avoided somewhat. It may be cheaper still in another season of the year, although the summer is a popular choice because of the hot weather.

The first significant feature of packaged holidays is that the price paid includes air travel. This will mean that the airport experience is relaxed and enjoyable. There is usually a bar that serves various drinks, as well as duty free shopping, a games area and a health area that offers relaxing treatments such as massages.

The flight will normally provide an opportunity for the purchase of snacks or drinks, added to small gifts available in the catalogue provided on the flight. Customers usually have the option to book a flight meal, although not always if the flight is very short. Food tends to consist of bread rolls with butter and spreads, vegetable and pasta dishes, and to finish, a small dessert such as a cake or biscuit.

After arriving at the foreign airport, there will be a representative from the travel company to collect all parties travelling with the particular business. If the package has been booked with a large company there may be more than one representative, but each will have a list of names to avoid any mistakes being made. From here, travellers will be escorted to their resort by coach whilst being shown various tourist spots along the way.

Having reached the hotel, it is then important to check in at the reception desk with the hotel staff. This often means handing in passports for safe keeping, although keeping them in the hotel room is of course an option, and usually receiving some sort of wrist band that is specific to the hotel. This is usually connected to the type of holiday booked, often differentiated by the colour of the band.

For example, some people choose to take the bed and breakfast option, which means a stay in the hotel and eating only breakfast in the hotel, therefore drinks and snacks must be paid for as extras. Most people who take this option tend to eat at restaurants for the other meals of the day. The next upgrade is half board, which means that a room, breakfast and one other meal are all pre-paid, but drinks and snacks must again be paid for. Another choice is full board, which means eating all three meals in the hotel as well as pre-paid drinks, and the final option is all inclusive, meaning everything is paid for.

At the end of the holiday, the coach will be available for transportation from hotel to airport. This will usually be accompanied by the travel representative. It is also common that when travelling back home, more information will be provided about further Voyage a rabais specials.
