Relax with a late New Year break
The European Commission has warned about dodgy airline ticket websites. So if you’re planning a New Year break, you could consider a package deal.
1. A warning from the Commission. Recently, the European Commission checked 400 websites selling “cheap” air tickets in 15 member states. See the story on OUT-LAW.com (http://www.out-law.com/page-288). Over half were declared to have misleading information. Based on that, we decided to look at package deals.
2.New Year bargains. First off, try Holiday Warehouse (http://www.holidaywarehouse.co.uk), where you’ll find plenty of holidays, including Bargains of the Day and all-inclusive deals. Or try Bargain Holidays (http://www.bargainholidays.com/late_deals/latedealsearch.asp), with a selection of late deals and top offers. And don’t forget lastminute.com (http://www.lastminute.com), with its Go last second section.
3.Sun or skiing? Skiers can try Directline Skiing (http://www.directline-skiing.co.uk/NewYearskiingHolidays), which includes last minute and cheap deals. Another option is IgluSki (http://www.igluski.com/oc_keydates.cfm?keydate=NewYear2007), a site offering breaks that include Eastern Europe and Canada. If you prefer something warmer, The Holiday Place (http://www.theholidayplace.co.uk/seasonal_holidays.asp?i=2&x=DN) offers holidays in countries such as Tobago and Egypt. For those looking for a family holiday in the sun, try Take The Family (http://www.takethefamily.com/special_offers/long_haul_and_winter_sun/). It has a range of winter sports and winter sun holidays, including late holiday deals. You could also try posting in their forum for more New Year ideas.
4. Something a bit different. If you want to do something different, try Unique Home Stays (http://www.uniquehomestays.com/xmas-new-year.asp). You can stay in a private luxury home in either the UK or abroad. Or how about staying in a glass (heated) igloo? Arctic Experience (http://www.arctic-experience.co.uk/newyear/) offers this unusual break.
