You can’t help feeling sorry for high street travel agents; after years of gleeful hand rubbing at the burst of the dotcom bubble the writing’s finally on the wall. Hop on the London Underground and that’s writing’s in two-foot high letters advertising flights to Rome and Prague for less than the cost of a weekly travel card.
The Internet’s rewritten the way we think about booking holidays and today it’s never been easier to organise a DIY bargain city break, you’ve just got to know where to look:
Travel guides
Amazon has got the online guidebook market sewn-up, and if you consider the savings that can be made; it’s hardly surprising.
Airport parking
It’s a cause of great distress to the 21st century city-breaker that it’s likely to cost them more to leave their car at the airport than the price of the flight. While there’s precious little that mere mortals can do about this there are search engines that will compare prices to find you the best deal, such as One Stop Airport Parking.
Flights
The advent of budget airlines has been one of the real success stories of the Internet and now they’re proliferating at such a rate that it’s hard to keep track of them all. Ryanair and Easyjet are the established favourites and frequently offer irresistible seasonal promotions. However, not everybody wants to begin their city break in the middle of the night at Stansted Airport and there are a growing number of flight comparison search engines, such as Expedia and Opodo, who cater for this market.
Car hire
Organising a hire car before you set off might be the last thing on your mind, but it’s worth the effort to save the usual scrum at arrivals. Today all the ‘big name’ hire companies (such as Avis and Holiday Autos) have on online presence and advanced online bookings usually guarantee a substantial discount.
Hotels
Bagging a cheap online hotel is something of a mercurial art. Often it’s easier to simply find somewhere suitable in a guidebook and then telephone or email them. However, if this sounds like too much effort Hotel Club usually comes up with the goods. Otherwise you’ll find that most online flight agents also offer an accommodation service.
Currency exchange
Credit and debit cards have wiped out the need for travellers’ cheques. However, you still need to know just how much foreign currency £1.00 will buy you; so a pay an electronic visit to the Oanda.com universal currency converter.
Weather
