Package Holiday Companies

I’m a little out of practice booking a package holiday as I usually book everything separately but just want a little more security and piece of mind for our European next trip.

I’m struggling to think of package holiday companies. I’ve got:
TUI
Jet2 holidays
Easyjet holidays

That’s it! There must be others but I can’t think of any, any ideas please?

Thanks

We only use Jet2 as a package as flight times are usually good. Or we buy Jet2 flights. Tried Ryan Air last year and ended up traveling/quarantining rather than losing money so next time I have to use will have better insurance.

I think there may be other companies (outside the 3 you have) that put together a package but are not package companies. Not sure what the difference is in protection

Theres probably not as many as there used to be! Do you have any local/independent ones? If they've survived the last 18 months or so then they are likely to be a good option.
Otherwise, my inlaws have used Jet2 for years without issues, they're happy to pay a little bit more to fly from a local airport Doncaster or Leeds as they're pretty equidistant to where they live - and i'm their personal driver... !

Loveholidays, onthebeach. A bit more expensive but I would probably stick to Jet2. The have come through the pandemic with the best reputation.

Issue with agents like On The Beach etc is they are a middle man putting together a package so if you have any issues it's then doing the refund/changes

Direct with Jet2 or TUI I feel you are more in control and better protected to get refunds.

I use Easyjet Holidays for Europe purely because I don't live far from Luton Airport.

Thanks, I was hoping to have a bit more choice, it’s a long time since I’ve booked a package and was sure I must have missed some but apart from BA which I will check out.

BA Holidays are great.

I have used Destinology in the past but they are pretty much just for top end hotels etc.
