The Get Picky Guide – how to pick your perfect trip

Ready to pick the trip you really want? When it comes to holidays, we’re all about the options, so you can pick and mix the bits you fancy to build your perfect break. All Inclusive getaway for some sun or city break scenes – it’s totally up to you.

Our travel picks cover everything from package holidays where everything’s done for you, to hotel-only deals when you’ve already sorted flights. So, take a look at what’s on offer and find what works for you. It’s officially time to get picky…

Package holidays

This is your ultimate all-in-one. Flights, transfers, hotels and – if you go for All Inclusive – food and drink. You only pay once to get all the essentials sorted, so you can feel boujie but actually still be bang on budget. This one’s for you if you still want to be picky – you get to choose from 200-odd destinations, loads of regional airport options and a whole bunch of board basis types – but you want it all ticked off upfront. That way you can concentrate on more important things.

City breaks

Fancy people-watching in a Parisian café? Inhaling pizza in Rome? Living your best life in NYC? City breaks are your ticket to the best of Europe and beyond. You can even book experiences in each place ahead of time if you want to skip the queues when you get there. We’ve picked hotels right in the centre of things, and teamed up with trusted airline partners to give you plenty of choice when it comes to flights. And you can book it all together – that’s flights, transfers, bags and your hotel – or just the bits you need.

Beach holidays

It’s the big one. The beach holiday – AKA your chance to fill your feed with dreamy sand-and-sea shots and get a much-needed dose of vitamin D. Whether you’ve got your eye on some winter sun in Europe or a long-haul island escape, thank god for having two hemispheres because sun can be had all year round. Surf, snorkel, or sail around the shoreline. Find a strip backed by bars, or one matched by mountain scenery. Go adults-only or pick a place with loads for families to do. Whatever catches your eye, we’ve got loads of hotels right on the beach, too. So, you’ll barely need to slip on your sliders to reach the sea.

We’ve got thousands of hotel rooms in destinations around the world, including budget hostels and luxury pads. You’ll still get 24/7 support if you need to contact us while you’re away, and you can filter your search results if you want something specific – like free Wi-Fi or a spa. Staying close to home?
