If you’ve never booked yourself a package holiday, it’s time to get yourself acquainted with this money and time saver.
We asked Semra van der Linden, our resident Packages Expert, to give us the low-down on why Wotif packages are the way savvy travellers are booking both their leisure and business trips.
1. You have way more flexibility than you probably think you do
Package holidays have had a bad rap as being too structured without much wriggle room to make them your own but you should think of our packages as more like ‘holiday combos‘. Just like when you pick and mix lollies (I’m all about the red frogs and pineapples), you pick your favourite flights and hotels and end up happier because of it with the trip that’s right for you. Choose the airline you like, the flight departure time, the hotel and the room type that suits you right from the start. Yep, the control is in your hands.
2. You save money to spend on more fun things
Because you book both your hotel and flight at the same time, you score access to special rates that aren’t available when you book your hotel and flight separately. Winning! Put those extra dollars towards a massage on arrival or a cocktail or three at the hotel bar.
Insider tip: Our Flaming Deal Packages are (as the name suggests!) super hot. The savings on these packages are so big, it’s almost like you fly for free!
3. You’ll feel way more organised
Ever booked your flights when you spot an awesome deal, only to put off booking your accommodation until later and end up leaving it to the last minute? Yep, we’ve all done it. You’ll feel super smug knowing your entire holiday is booked, not just your plane seats, from the get go.
4. It’s convenient and easy
The days of searching through your email inbox for your various confirmation emails – probably the night before you depart! – are over. When you book a package, all your flight and hotel details will be in one place, on one itinerary.
Insider tip: Make sure you download our app to have quick, easy access and live updates throughout your journey. Flight reminders and updates are super convenient.
5. You can use packages to kick-start your trip
You don’t have to be locked into a hotel for the whole of your trip. In fact, if you want to, you can just book a hotel for the first night and still benefit from the awesome savings. That, my friends, is winning.
