Once you’ve selected your hotel, the next page allows you to add any extras onto your holiday such as bags, transfers and airport parking. What’s great about individually adding on your holiday elements in this way is you’re not automatically opted into the extras and therefore not paying for anything you don’t need.

After you’ve added on all your extras and are happy with the price you’ve been shown, you need to press ‘Book Now’ – don’t worry, nothing is confirmed until you’ve filled out all your details on the next page…

Enter your details
