Notes About Last Minute Vacation Specials

By Adriana Noton


Many people enjoy taking a holiday. It can be relaxing and fun, and a much needed break. There are many options for package holidays, including the last minute vacation specials, which often work out 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 aeroplane journey itself also provides the opportunity to buy drinks and snacks, as well as some small gifts that can be found in the catalogue given to customers on the aeroplane. There is also usually a meal option, which tends to comprise of something such as bread and butter, a vegetable or pasta bake, and a cake or biscuit for dessert. However, this does vary with the length of the flight and the number of people on the flight.

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.

An example of this would be the bed and breakfast choice, in which only the room and morning meal are pre-paid. This means that any snacks or drinks must be bought as extras, and any other meals tend to be eaten outside of the hotel, usually at restaurants or bars that serve food. The half board option provides customers with two meals, but again the drinks and snacks must be paid for. Full board includes all three meals, and finally an upgrade to all inclusive means any drinks or snacks are also paid within the holiday price.

When the holiday is over, transport is normally by coach from the hotel to the airport. The representative will usually accompany. They may also provide further information about more Voyage a rabais specials.
