As more of us book our summer holidays online during our lunch break, so more companies are offering online services. Faced with all this choice, how do we conduct the most efficient search to find the best deal as quickly as possible?
The amount of data processed when booking a holiday means the actual booking process can be relatively lengthy, but this does not have to be the case for your search. By following a few simple guidelines you should receive much more relevant results without having to trawl through pages and pages of American Universities.....
1. Decide what type of holiday you want and make that explicit in your search.
i.e. 'city breaks', 'last minute holidays', 'all inclusive holidays'.
The more explicit you can be the better, so try to include some idea of cost i.e. 'luxury', 'cheap', 'bargain'.
2. If you have a location in mind include that in your search, i.e. 'holiday search Fuerteventura'.
Combined with a holiday type this mean seem like a very long request, but travel operators organise their holidays in this way i.e. 'luxury cruise ships', 'cheap holiday Majorca'.
3. Specify if you want a package holiday, an all inclusive holiday, or just flights. This may seem obvious but imagine you want to book flights only to Malta, by not including, 'flight deals malta' in your search you will not only receive irrelevant holiday pages, you may also miss seeing the cheapest offers from companies who specialise in flights only.
By following these very simple guidelines and making your search as specific as possible you are more likely to find the best deal for you, and still have time to eat your sandwiches!
Remember, be specific, there are a lot of travel operators online so there will be something matching your enquiry.
Happy hunting!
